0.9%
Charleston-North Charleston, SC was 0.9% above the U.S. median for Machinists. It ranked 129 of 361 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Machinists median says in Charleston-North Charleston, SC
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Machinists median in Charleston-North Charleston, SC at $59,280 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 51-4041 and BLS area 16700.
BLS lists 470 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 $59,370 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Charleston-North Charleston, SC's Machinists median is 0.9% above the U.S. Machinists median of $58,750 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 51-4041 and area 16700. SOC 51-4041 names Machinists. Area 16700 names Charleston-North Charleston, SC. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-4041/16700 row reports 470 wage and salary jobs, 1.19 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.64 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-4041/16700, the annual median is $59,280 per year, while the matching mean is $59,370 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 16700 reports 394,170 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,260. Its annual median is $49,150. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-4041 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Charleston-North Charleston, SC runs from $28,350 at the 10th percentile to $115,790 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,510. The median is $49,150. The 75th percentile is $77,460. This is a place check, not a pay range for Machinists.
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 16700. They do not show related skills or a path into Machinists.
1. Area 16700, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 11,930 jobs, $34,090 annual median, 30.27 jobs per 1,000, and 1.21 location quotient.
2. Area 16700, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 10,850 jobs, $28,500 annual median, 27.53 jobs per 1,000, and 1.11 location quotient.
3. Area 16700, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 9,760 jobs, $92,800 annual median, 24.77 jobs per 1,000, and 1.14 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Charleston-North Charleston, SC wage ladder for Machinists
The 10th percentile is $46,930 per year. The 25th percentile is $48,070 per year. The median is $59,280 per year. The 75th percentile is $67,280 per year. The 90th percentile is $75,160 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 $48,070 per year to $67,280 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $28,230. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Charleston-North Charleston, SC with its state and the U.S.
Charleston-North Charleston, SC has a annual median of $59,280 per year. South Carolina has $57,970 per year. The U.S. row has $58,750 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Charleston-North Charleston, SC is 2.3% above South Carolina on the same published median. Charleston-North Charleston, SC is 0.9% 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 Charleston-North Charleston, SC sits for Machinists
Charleston-North Charleston, SC ranks 129 of 361 among metro areas with a published annual median for Machinists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 129 of 361 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.
126. Elmira, NY has a Machinists median of $59,330 per year, 180 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.9.
127. Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI has a Machinists median of $59,310 per year, 7,680 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.19.
128. Des Moines-West Des Moines, IA has a Machinists median of $59,290 per year, 210 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.28.
130. Memphis, TN-MS-AR has a Machinists median of $59,220 per year, 1,050 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.93.
Pay leaders
Where Machinists medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4041, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Urban Honolulu, HI has the highest published median in this set, at $84,410 per year. Charleston-North Charleston, SC sits at $59,280 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Machinists 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. Urban Honolulu, HI has a Machinists median of $84,410 per year, or $25,130 above Charleston-North Charleston, SC. BLS lists 250 jobs there, compared with 470 in Charleston-North Charleston, SC. The location quotient is 0.3.
2. Florence-Muscle Shoals, AL has a Machinists median of $82,690 per year, or $23,410 above Charleston-North Charleston, SC. BLS lists 160 jobs there, compared with 470 in Charleston-North Charleston, SC. The location quotient is 1.59.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Machinists jobs
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has the largest published metro job estimate for Machinists in this same-source set, at 11,270 jobs. Charleston-North Charleston, SC has 470. 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 11,270 estimated Machinists jobs, a gap of 10,800 jobs from Charleston-North Charleston, SC. Its median is $59,520 per year, or $240 above Charleston-North Charleston, SC. Its location quotient is 1.35.
2. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI has 9,420 estimated Machinists jobs, a gap of 8,950 jobs from Charleston-North Charleston, SC. Its median is $62,070 per year, or $2,790 above Charleston-North Charleston, SC. Its location quotient is 2.61.
Local-share leaders
Where Machinists takes the largest share of local jobs
Columbus, IN has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 15.95. Charleston-North Charleston, SC has 0.64. 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 Machinists 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 15.95, a gap of 15.31 from Charleston-North Charleston, SC. BLS lists 1,470 Machinists jobs and a median of $61,230 per year, or $1,950 above Charleston-North Charleston, SC.
2. Rockford, IL has a location quotient of 7.1, a gap of 6.46 from Charleston-North Charleston, SC. BLS lists 1,800 Machinists jobs and a median of $49,700 per year, or $9,580 below Charleston-North Charleston, SC.
3. Fond du Lac, WI has a location quotient of 6.77, a gap of 6.13 from Charleston-North Charleston, SC. BLS lists 550 Machinists jobs and a median of $57,700 per year, or $1,580 below Charleston-North Charleston, SC.
Job scale and share
How common Machinists is in Charleston-North Charleston, SC
BLS lists 470 Machinists jobs in Charleston-North Charleston, SC. It also lists 1.19 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 0.64. A value of 1 means Machinists 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.
Machinists beside other roles in Charleston-North Charleston, SC
The all-occupations median in Charleston-North Charleston, SC is $49,150 per year. The Machinists median is $59,280 per year. Machinists is 20.6% above 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 Charleston-North Charleston, SC. 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 Machinists. 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. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a Charleston-North Charleston, SC median of $61,020 per year. BLS lists 4,670 jobs and a location quotient of 1.33.
2. Sales Representatives of Services, Except Advertising, Insurance, Financial Services, and Travel, SOC 41-3091, has a Charleston-North Charleston, SC median of $62,600 per year. BLS lists 4,290 jobs and a location quotient of 1.35.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Charleston-North Charleston, SC
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Charleston-North Charleston, SC table, at 11,930 jobs. Machinists has 470 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 394,170. 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 Machinists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 11,930 jobs in Charleston-North Charleston, SC, a gap of 11,460 from Machinists. Its median is $34,090 per year, or $25,190 below Machinists. Its location quotient is 1.21.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 10,850 jobs in Charleston-North Charleston, SC, a gap of 10,380 from Machinists. Its median is $28,500 per year, or $30,780 below Machinists. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Charleston-North Charleston, SC
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Charleston-North Charleston, SC role table, at $109,260 per year. Machinists has $59,280 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,150 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 $109,260 per year in Charleston-North Charleston, SC, or $49,980 above Machinists. BLS lists 6,000 jobs, compared with 470 for Machinists. Its location quotient is 0.68.
2. Project Management Specialists has a median of $94,730 per year in Charleston-North Charleston, SC, or $35,450 above Machinists. BLS lists 3,510 jobs, compared with 470 for Machinists. Its location quotient is 1.3.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Charleston-North Charleston, SC
Cooks, Restaurant has the highest location quotient in the bounded Charleston-North Charleston, SC role table, at 1.69. Machinists has 0.64. 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 Machinists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Restaurant has a location quotient of 1.69 in Charleston-North Charleston, SC, a gap of 1.05 from Machinists. BLS lists 6,040 jobs and a median of $36,710 per year, or $22,570 below Machinists.
2. Waiters and Waitresses has a location quotient of 1.66 in Charleston-North Charleston, SC, a gap of 1.02 from Machinists. BLS lists 9,580 jobs and a median of $19,340 per year, or $39,940 below Machinists.
3. Bartenders has a location quotient of 1.62 in Charleston-North Charleston, SC, a gap of 0.98 from Machinists. BLS lists 3,110 jobs and a median of $19,630 per year, or $39,650 below Machinists.
Price-level view
What $59,280 may mean after the Charleston-North Charleston, SC price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Charleston-North Charleston, SC is 101.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.0% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $59,280 Machinists median by 101.0 divided by 100. The result is $58,715 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 119.8. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 88.2. Other services are 98.3. 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 Charleston-North Charleston, SC row
The employment RSE for this Machinists row is 12.2%. 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 470 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $59,370 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 Charleston-North Charleston, SC wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Machinists. It uses a Charleston-North Charleston, SC 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $59,280 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 Machinists row for Charleston-North Charleston, SC 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 470 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.64 is not a growth score. Rank 129 of 361 is not a place score. The 101.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-4041 in BLS area 16700. 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 470 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.
