What the Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median says in Connecticut
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median in Connecticut at $35,960 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 33-9092 and BLS area 09.
BLS lists 1,510 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 $37,050 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Connecticut's Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median is 7.1% above the U.S. Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median of $33,580 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 33-9092 and area 09. SOC 33-9092 names Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. Area 09 names Connecticut. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 33-9092/09 row reports 1,510 wage and salary jobs, 0.89 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.88 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 33-9092/09, the annual median is $35,960 per year, while the matching mean is $37,050 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 09 facts behind this Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers page
Area 09 reports 1,696,170 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $77,420. Its annual median is $59,690. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 33-9092 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Connecticut runs from $35,450 at the 10th percentile to $135,790 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $40,390. The median is $59,690. The 75th percentile is $95,110. This is a place check, not a pay range for Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers.
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 09. They do not show related skills or a path into Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers.
1. Area 09, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 49,510 jobs, $38,990 annual median, 29.19 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
2. Area 09, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 42,410 jobs, $36,490 annual median, 25.01 jobs per 1,000, and 1 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Connecticut wage ladder for Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers
The 10th percentile is $34,010 per year. The 25th percentile is $34,010 per year. The median is $35,960 per year. The 75th percentile is $38,150 per year. The 90th percentile is $39,740 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 $34,010 per year to $38,150 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $5,730. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Connecticut has a annual median of $35,960 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $33,580 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Connecticut. Connecticut is 7.1% above 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 Connecticut sits for Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers
Connecticut ranks 9 of 52 among states and territories with a published annual median for Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 9 of 52 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.
6. Massachusetts has a Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median of $36,650 per year, 2,640 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.72.
7. New York has a Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median of $36,590 per year, 8,740 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.89.
8. Vermont has a Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median of $36,030 per year, 310 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.
Pay leaders
Where Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 33-9092, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. District of Columbia has the highest published median in this set, at $60,400 per year. Connecticut sits at $35,960 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers 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. District of Columbia has a Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median of $60,400 per year, or $24,440 above Connecticut. BLS lists 290 jobs there, compared with 1,510 in Connecticut. The location quotient is 0.41.
2. Hawaii has a Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median of $52,630 per year, or $16,670 above Connecticut. BLS lists 720 jobs there, compared with 1,510 in Connecticut. The location quotient is 1.13.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers in this same-source set, at 22,620 jobs. Connecticut has 1,510. 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 22,620 estimated Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers jobs, a gap of 21,110 jobs from Connecticut. Its median is $42,720 per year, or $6,760 above Connecticut. Its location quotient is 1.23.
2. Texas has 11,320 estimated Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers jobs, a gap of 9,810 jobs from Connecticut. Its median is $29,450 per year, or $6,510 below Connecticut. Its location quotient is 0.79.
Local-share leaders
Where Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
Virginia has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.14. Connecticut has 0.88. 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 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers 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. Virginia has a location quotient of 2.14, a gap of 1.26 from Connecticut. BLS lists 8,920 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers jobs and a median of $30,070 per year, or $5,890 below Connecticut.
2. Colorado has a location quotient of 1.86, a gap of 0.98 from Connecticut. BLS lists 5,430 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers jobs and a median of $35,640 per year, or $320 below Connecticut.
Job scale and share
How common Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers is in Connecticut
BLS lists 1,510 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers jobs in Connecticut. It also lists 0.89 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 0.88. A value of 1 means Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers 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.
Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers beside other roles in Connecticut
The all-occupations median in Connecticut is $59,690 per year. The Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median is $35,960 per year. Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers is 39.8% 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 Connecticut. 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 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. 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 Connecticut median of $35,550 per year. BLS lists 30,920 jobs and a location quotient of 0.92.
2. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Connecticut median of $36,490 per year. BLS lists 42,410 jobs and a location quotient of 1.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Connecticut
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Connecticut table, at 49,510 jobs. Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers has 1,510 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 1,696,170. 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 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 49,510 jobs in Connecticut, a gap of 48,000 from Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. Its median is $38,990 per year, or $3,030 above Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Connecticut
Financial Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Connecticut role table, at $174,830 per year. Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers has $35,960 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $59,690 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. Financial Managers has a median of $174,830 per year in Connecticut, or $138,870 above Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. BLS lists 20,040 jobs, compared with 1,510 for Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. Its location quotient is 2.18.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $137,220 per year in Connecticut, or $101,260 above Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. BLS lists 39,070 jobs, compared with 1,510 for Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. Its location quotient is 1.02.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Connecticut
Financial Managers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Connecticut role table, at 2.18. Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers has 0.88. 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 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Financial Managers has a location quotient of 2.18 in Connecticut, a gap of 1.30 from Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. BLS lists 20,040 jobs and a median of $174,830 per year, or $138,870 above Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers.
2. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 2.12 in Connecticut, a gap of 1.24 from Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. BLS lists 12,020 jobs and a median of $36,660 per year, or $700 above Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers.
Price-level view
What $35,960 may mean after the Connecticut price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Connecticut is 103.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.6% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $35,960 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers median by 103.6 divided by 100. The result is $34,707 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 117.0. Goods are 97.3. Utilities are 146.5. 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.
The employment RSE for this Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers row is 12%. 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 1,510 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $37,050 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 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers. It uses a Connecticut 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 $35,960 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 Lifeguards, Ski Patrol, and Other Recreational Protective Service Workers row for Connecticut 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 1,510 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.88 is not a growth score. Rank 9 of 52 is not a place score. The 103.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 33-9092 in BLS area 09. 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 1,510 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.
