BLS lists 800 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 $34,410 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Altoona, PA's Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners median is 9.8% below the U.S. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners median of $36,840 on the same published median.

Altoona, PA has a annual median of $33,220 per year. Pennsylvania has $36,520 per year. The U.S. row has $36,840 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Altoona, PA is 9.0% below Pennsylvania on the same published median. Altoona, PA is 9.8% 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 Altoona, PA sits for Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners
Altoona, PA ranks 288 of 393 among metro areas with a published annual median for Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 288 of 393 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.
285. Jacksonville, NC has a Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners median of $33,320 per year, 790 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.05.

Pay leaders
Where Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 37-2011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Longview-Kelso, WA has the highest published median in this set, at $46,590 per year. Altoona, PA sits at $33,220 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners 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. Longview-Kelso, WA has a Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners median of $46,590 per year, or $13,370 above Altoona, PA. BLS lists 510 jobs there, compared with 800 in Altoona, PA. The location quotient is 0.87.

Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners in this same-source set, at 183,030 jobs. Altoona, PA has 800. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 183,030 estimated Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners jobs, a gap of 182,230 jobs from Altoona, PA. Its median is $42,840 per year, or $9,620 above Altoona, PA. Its location quotient is 1.36.

Local-share leaders
Where Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners takes the largest share of local jobs
Ponce, PR has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.26. Altoona, PA has 0.96. 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 Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners 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. Ponce, PR has a location quotient of 3.26, a gap of 2.30 from Altoona, PA. BLS lists 2,940 Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners jobs and a median of $21,840 per year, or $11,380 below Altoona, PA.

BLS lists 800 Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners jobs in Altoona, PA. It also lists 13.61 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 0.96. A value of 1 means Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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
Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners beside other roles in Altoona, PA

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Altoona, PA. 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 Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners. 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.

The all-occupations job count is 58,650. 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 Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 2,090 jobs in Altoona, PA, a gap of 1,290 from Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners. Its median is $28,370 per year, or $4,850 below Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners. Its location quotient is 1.42.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Altoona, PA
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Altoona, PA role table, at $83,580 per year. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has $33,220 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $44,270 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $83,580 per year in Altoona, PA, or $50,360 above Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners. BLS lists 1,460 jobs, compared with 800 for Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners. Its location quotient is 1.11.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Altoona, PA
Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Altoona, PA role table, at 3.5. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has 0.96. 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 Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has a location quotient of 3.5 in Altoona, PA, a gap of 2.54 from Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners. BLS lists 500 jobs and a median of $37,800 per year, or $4,580 above Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners.

Price-level view
What $33,220 may mean after the Altoona, PA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Altoona, PA is 89.5. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.5% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $33,220 Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners median by 89.5 divided by 100. The result is $37,114 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 55.0. Goods are 100.7. Utilities are 107.7. Other services are 97.7. 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 Altoona, PA row
The employment RSE for this Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners row is 3.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.3%. 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 800 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $34,410 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 Altoona, PA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners. It uses a Altoona, PA 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 $33,220 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 Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners row for Altoona, PA 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 800 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.96 is not a growth score. Rank 288 of 393 is not a place score. The 89.5 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 37-2011 in BLS area 11020. 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 published an employment estimate of 800 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.
