West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area was 24.4% below the U.S. median for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. It ranked 120 of 132 nonmetro areas. We rank only areas with a published annual median. These pay gaps leave out prices, benefits, and skills. They also leave out the mix of firms and work hours.
What the Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median says in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area at $26,530 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 43-4081 and BLS area 2100001.
BLS lists 200 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $27,240 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area's Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median is 24.4% below the U.S. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $35,070 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.
Exact source record
Read source key 43-4081 with area 2100001
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 43-4081 and area 2100001. SOC 43-4081 names Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Area 2100001 names West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.

Same-source checks
Compare West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $26,530 per year. Kentucky has $29,970 per year. The U.S. row has $35,070 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area is 11.5% below Kentucky on the same published median. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area is 24.4% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are benchmarks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Like-for-like rank
Where West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area sits for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks
West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area ranks 120 of 132 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 120 of 132 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
117. East Arkansas nonmetropolitan area. The Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median is $26,790 per year. BLS estimates 110 jobs. The location quotient is 0.98.
118. Southwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. The Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median is $26,780 per year. BLS estimates 190 jobs. The location quotient is 1.73.
119. South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. The Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median is $26,700 per year. BLS estimates 300 jobs. The location quotient is 1.04.
Pay leaders
Where Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 43-4081, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $54,860 per year. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area sits at $26,530 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $54,860 per year, or $28,330 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 720 jobs there, compared with 200 in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 4.07.
2. Northern Vermont nonmetropolitan area has a Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median of $44,940 per year, or $18,410 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 200 jobs there, compared with 200 in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.35.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs
East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks in this same-source set, at 1,200 jobs. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has 200. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has 1,200 estimated Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs, a gap of 1,000 jobs from West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $29,270 per year, or $2,740 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 5.06.
2. High Desert Utah nonmetropolitan area has 1,060 estimated Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs, a gap of 860 jobs from West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $36,560 per year, or $10,030 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 5.66.
Local-share leaders
Where Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks takes the largest share of local jobs
South Florida nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 6.31. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has 0.9. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. South Florida nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 6.31, a gap of 5.41 from West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 930 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs and a median of $35,730 per year, or $9,200 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area.
2. High Desert Utah nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 5.66, a gap of 4.76 from West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,060 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs and a median of $36,560 per year, or $10,030 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks is in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 200 Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks jobs in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 1.52 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 0.9. A value of 1 means Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Local job mix
Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks beside other roles in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area is $43,870 per year. The Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks median is $26,530 per year. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks is 39.5% below the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. Cashiers, SOC 41-2011, has a West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area median of $27,090 per year. BLS lists 3,750 jobs and a location quotient of 1.47.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area table, at 3,750 jobs. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has 200 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 128,740. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 3,750 jobs in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,550 from Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its median is $27,090 per year, or $560 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.47.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area role table, at $76,960 per year. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has $26,530 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $43,870 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. Registered Nurses has a median of $76,960 per year in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, or $50,430 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. BLS lists 2,710 jobs, compared with 200 for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its location quotient is 0.97.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a median of $72,800 per year in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, or $46,270 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. BLS lists 1,380 jobs, compared with 200 for Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. Its location quotient is 2.48.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
Industrial Machinery Mechanics has the highest location quotient in the bounded West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area role table, at 4.03. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has 0.9. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a location quotient of 4.03 in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3.13 from Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. BLS lists 1,470 jobs and a median of $67,930 per year, or $41,400 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a location quotient of 2.48 in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.58 from Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. BLS lists 1,380 jobs and a median of $72,800 per year, or $46,270 above Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks.
Price-level view
What $26,530 may mean after the West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $26,530 BLS median stays a nominal wage.
No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.
You can still compare Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
Data care
How much care to use with the West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks row is 4.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.6%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 200 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $27,240 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
Job and résumé path
Use West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks. It uses a West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $26,530 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
Limits
What the Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks row for West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 200 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.9 is not a growth score. Rank 120 of 132 is not a place score. A missing price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-4081 in BLS area 2100001. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
BLS estimates 200 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
