Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA was 5.1% below the U.S. median for Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. It ranked 284 of 388 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median says in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA at $46,080 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 51-9061 and BLS area 13980.
BLS lists 320 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 $48,620 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA's Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median is 5.1% below the U.S. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median of $48,570 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
Exact source record
Read source key 51-9061 with area 13980
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 51-9061 and area 13980. SOC 51-9061 names Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. Area 13980 names Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-9061/13980 row reports 320 wage and salary jobs, 4.3 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.12 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-9061/13980, the annual median is $46,080 per year, while the matching mean is $48,620 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA has a annual median of $46,080 per year. Virginia has $49,590 per year. The U.S. row has $48,570 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA is 7.1% below Virginia on the same published median. Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA is 5.1% 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 bench marks, 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 Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA sits for Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers
Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA ranks 284 of 388 among metro areas with a published annual median for Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 284 of 388 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.
281. Knoxville, TN has a Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median of $46,130 per year, 2,160 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.33.
282. Kenosha, WI has a Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median of $46,110 per year, 610 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.12.

Pay leaders
Where Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-9061, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Lexington Park, MD has the highest published median in this set, at $92,000 per year. Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA sits at $46,080 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers 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 care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Lexington Park, MD has a Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median of $92,000 per year, or $45,920 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. BLS lists 100 jobs there, compared with 320 in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. The location quotient is 0.37.
2. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median of $76,800 per year, or $30,720 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. BLS lists 8,190 jobs there, compared with 320 in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. The location quotient is 1.02.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers jobs
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has the largest published metro job estimate for Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers in this same-source set, at 23,080 jobs. Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA has 320. 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. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 23,080 estimated Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers jobs, a gap of 22,760 jobs from Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. Its median is $48,230 per year, or $2,150 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. Its location quotient is 1.33.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 22,610 estimated Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers jobs, a gap of 22,290 jobs from Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. Its median is $51,560 per year, or $5,480 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. Its location quotient is 0.94.
Local-share leaders
Where Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers takes the largest share of local jobs
Columbus, IN has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.7. Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA has 1.12. 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 Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers 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. Columbus, IN has a location quotient of 4.7, a gap of 3.58 from Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. BLS lists 900 Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers jobs and a median of $49,030 per year, or $2,950 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA.
2. Elkhart-Goshen, IN has a location quotient of 4.02, a gap of 2.90 from Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. BLS lists 1,970 Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers jobs and a median of $47,950 per year, or $1,870 above Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA.
Job scale and share
How common Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers is in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
BLS lists 320 Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers jobs in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. It also lists 4.3 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 1.12. A value of 1 means Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher 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
Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers beside other roles in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
The all-occupations median in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA is $48,120 per year. The Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median is $46,080 per year. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers is 4.2% 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 Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA. 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 Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. 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. First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers, SOC 41-1011, has a Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA median of $46,140 per year. BLS lists 610 jobs and a location quotient of 1.15.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA table, at 2,450 jobs. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers has 320 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 74,070. 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 Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 2,450 jobs in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA, a gap of 2,130 from Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers.

2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 2,230 jobs in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA, a gap of 1,910 from Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. Its median is $28,300 per year, or $17,780 below Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. Its location quotient is 1.21.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA role table, at $111,630 per year. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers has $46,080 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,120 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. Software Developers has a median of $111,630 per year in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA, or $65,550 above Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. BLS lists 590 jobs, compared with 320 for Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. Its location quotient is 0.73.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $97,480 per year in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA, or $51,400 above Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA
Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA role table, at 4.75. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers has 1.12. 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 Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers has a location quotient of 4.75 in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA, a gap of 3.63 from Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. BLS lists 560 jobs and a median of $38,570 per year, or $7,510 below Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 3.67 in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA, a gap of 2.55 from Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. BLS lists 2,450 jobs and a median of $45,950 per year, or $130 below Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers.
Price-level view
What $46,080 may mean after the Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA is 92.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $46,080 Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers median by 92.7 divided by 100. The result is $49,703 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 74.4. Goods are 96.8. Utilities are 88.1. Other services are 98.6. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA row
The employment RSE for this Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers row is 7.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.5%. 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 320 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $48,620 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 Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers. It uses a Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA 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 $46,080 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 Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers row for Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA 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 320 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.12 is not a growth score. Rank 284 of 388 is not a place score. The 92.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-9061 in BLS area 13980. 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.
How many Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers jobs does BLS estimate in Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, VA?
BLS published an employment estimate of 320 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
