A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.

The middle half runs from $37,880 per year to $47,300 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $20,120. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT has a annual median of $43,550 per year. Connecticut has $43,640 per year. The U.S. row has $40,240 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

Where Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT sits for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand

Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT ranks 87 of 392 among metro areas with a published annual median for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 87 of 392 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.

Where Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand medians lead among metro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 53-7062, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Topeka, KS has the highest published median in this set, at $49,140 per year. Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT sits at $43,550 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand 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.

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.

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 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand 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.

How common Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is in Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT

BLS lists 4,290 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand jobs in Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT. It also lists 10.62 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 0.56. A value of 1 means Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand 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.

Roles with the largest local share in Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT

Financial Managers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT role table, at 3.29. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 0.56. 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 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $43,550 may mean after the Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT is 106.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 6.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $43,550 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median by 106.9 divided by 100. The result is $40,753 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 150.5. Goods are 97.3. Utilities are 147.1. Other services are 102.7. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.

How much care to use with the Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT row

The employment RSE for this Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand row is 3.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 4,290 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $44,570 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.

Use Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. It uses a Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT 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 $43,550 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.

What the Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand row for Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT 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 4,290 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.56 is not a growth score. Rank 87 of 392 is not a place score. The 106.9 price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 53-7062 in BLS area 14860. 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.
