What the Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median says in West Virginia
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median in West Virginia at $36,990 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 53-7062 and BLS area 54.
BLS lists 11,300 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 $38,490 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
West Virginia's Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median is 8.1% below the U.S. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median of $40,240 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.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 53-7062 and area 54. SOC 53-7062 names Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. Area 54 names West Virginia. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 53-7062/54 row reports 11,300 wage and salary jobs, 16.11 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.85 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 53-7062/54, the annual median is $36,990 per year, while the matching mean is $38,490 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 54 facts behind this Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand page
Area 54 reports 701,610 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $56,470. Its annual median is $45,300. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 53-7062 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in West Virginia runs from $26,070 at the 10th percentile to $98,220 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $31,530. The median is $45,300. The 75th percentile is $64,940. This is a place check, not a pay range for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 54. They do not show related skills or a path into Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand.
1. Area 54, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 23,430 jobs, $80,130 annual median, 33.39 jobs per 1,000, and 1.54 location quotient.
2. Area 54, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 19,050 jobs, $28,950 annual median, 27.15 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the West Virginia wage ladder for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand
The 10th percentile is $27,270 per year. The 25th percentile is $31,150 per year. The median is $36,990 per year. The 75th percentile is $44,540 per year. The 90th percentile is $50,240 per year.
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 $31,150 per year to $44,540 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $22,970. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
West Virginia has a annual median of $36,990 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $40,240 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for West Virginia. West Virginia is 8.1% 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.
Where West Virginia sits for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand
West Virginia ranks 48 of 54 among states and territories 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 48 of 54 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.
45. Delaware has a Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median of $37,320 per year, 5,220 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.57.
46. New Mexico has a Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median of $37,230 per year, 10,200 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.62.
47. Oklahoma has a Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median of $36,990 per year, 38,210 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.18.
Pay leaders
Where Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 53-7062, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Minnesota has the highest published median in this set, at $46,280 per year. West Virginia sits at $36,990 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 care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Minnesota has a Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median of $46,280 per year, or $9,290 above West Virginia. BLS lists 54,480 jobs there, compared with 11,300 in West Virginia. The location quotient is 0.97.
2. Washington has a Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median of $46,190 per year, or $9,200 above West Virginia. BLS lists 49,450 jobs there, compared with 11,300 in West Virginia. The location quotient is 0.73.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand in this same-source set, at 355,500 jobs. West Virginia has 11,300. 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. California has 355,500 estimated Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand jobs, a gap of 344,200 jobs from West Virginia. Its median is $44,710 per year, or $7,720 above West Virginia. Its location quotient is 1.03.
2. Texas has 216,970 estimated Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand jobs, a gap of 205,670 jobs from West Virginia. Its median is $37,540 per year, or $550 above West Virginia. Its location quotient is 0.81.
Local-share leaders
Where Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand takes the largest share of local jobs
Indiana has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.7. West Virginia has 0.85. 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 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.
1. Indiana has a location quotient of 1.7, a gap of 0.85 from West Virginia. BLS lists 103,200 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand jobs and a median of $41,340 per year, or $4,350 above West Virginia.
2. Tennessee has a location quotient of 1.7, a gap of 0.85 from West Virginia. BLS lists 105,870 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand jobs and a median of $38,160 per year, or $1,170 above West Virginia.
Job scale and share
How common Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is in West Virginia
BLS lists 11,300 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand jobs in West Virginia. It also lists 16.11 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 0.85. 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.
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand beside other roles in West Virginia
The all-occupations median in West Virginia is $45,300 per year. The Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median is $36,990 per year. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is 18.3% 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 Virginia. 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 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. 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. Nursing Assistants, SOC 31-1131, has a West Virginia median of $36,720 per year. BLS lists 9,390 jobs and a location quotient of 1.44.
2. Customer Service Representatives, SOC 43-4051, has a West Virginia median of $38,430 per year. BLS lists 9,860 jobs and a location quotient of 0.84.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in West Virginia
Registered Nurses is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded West Virginia table, at 23,430 jobs. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 11,300 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 701,610. 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 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Registered Nurses has 23,430 jobs in West Virginia, a gap of 12,130 from Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. Its median is $80,130 per year, or $43,140 above Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. Its location quotient is 1.54.
2. Retail Salespersons has 19,050 jobs in West Virginia, a gap of 7,750 from Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. Its median is $28,950 per year, or $8,040 below Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around West Virginia
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded West Virginia role table, at $82,500 per year. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has $36,990 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,300 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 $82,500 per year in West Virginia, or $45,510 above Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. BLS lists 15,300 jobs, compared with 11,300 for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. Its location quotient is 0.97.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,130 per year in West Virginia, or $43,140 above Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. BLS lists 23,430 jobs, compared with 11,300 for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. Its location quotient is 1.54.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in West Virginia
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded West Virginia role table, at 5.7. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 0.85. 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.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 5.7 in West Virginia, a gap of 4.85 from Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. BLS lists 16,490 jobs and a median of $23,120 per year, or $13,870 below Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand.
2. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 3.63 in West Virginia, a gap of 2.78 from Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. BLS lists 7,830 jobs and a median of $51,300 per year, or $14,310 above Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand.
Price-level view
What $36,990 may mean after the West Virginia price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for West Virginia 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 $36,990 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median by 89.5 divided by 100. The result is $41,331 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 54.2. Goods are 96.5. Utilities are 92.2. Other services are 99.9. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand row is 2.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.7%. 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 11,300 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $38,490 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.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. It uses a West Virginia 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 $36,990 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 West Virginia 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 11,300 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.85 is not a growth score. Rank 48 of 54 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 53-7062 in BLS area 54. 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 11,300 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.
