WageScope divides the published Machinists median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 51-4041 and BLS area 29540.

Lancaster, PA was 3.5% below the U.S. median for Machinists. It ranked 188 of 361 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Machinists median in Lancaster, PA at $56,700 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 29540.
BLS lists 560 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 $55,720 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Lancaster, PA's Machinists median is 3.5% below 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 29540. SOC 51-4041 names Machinists. Area 29540 names Lancaster, PA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-4041/29540 row reports 560 wage and salary jobs, 2.24 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.21 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-4041/29540, the annual median is $56,700 per year, while the matching mean is $55,720 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 29540 reports 252,230 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $59,620. Its annual median is $48,210. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-4041 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Lancaster, PA runs from $28,570 at the 10th percentile to $99,530 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,580. The median is $48,210. The 75th percentile is $70,230. 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 29540. They do not show related skills or a path into Machinists.
1. Area 29540, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 7,400 jobs, $30,280 annual median, 29.35 jobs per 1,000, and 1.17 location quotient.
2. Area 29540, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 6,990 jobs, $98,810 annual median, 27.72 jobs per 1,000, and 1.23 location quotient.
3. Area 29540, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 6,990 jobs, $29,150 annual median, 27.72 jobs per 1,000, and 1 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Lancaster, PA wage ladder for Machinists
The 10th percentile is $40,250 per year. The 25th percentile is $47,490 per year. The median is $56,700 per year. The 75th percentile is $61,920 per year. The 90th percentile is $73,230 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 $47,490 per year to $61,920 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $32,980. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Lancaster, PA has a annual median of $56,700 per year. Pennsylvania has $57,810 per year. The U.S. row has $58,750 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Lancaster, PA is 1.9% below Pennsylvania on the same published median. Lancaster, PA is 3.5% 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.
Lancaster, PA ranks 188 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 188 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.
185. Florence, SC has a Machinists median of $56,900 per year, 160 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.97.
186. Yuba City, CA has a Machinists median of $56,820 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.37.
187. Kansas City, MO-KS has a Machinists median of $56,740 per year, 1,350 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.67.
189. Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA has a Machinists median of $56,530 per year, 540 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.9.
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. Lancaster, PA sits at $56,700 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 $27,710 above Lancaster, PA. BLS lists 250 jobs there, compared with 560 in Lancaster, PA. The location quotient is 0.3.
2. Florence-Muscle Shoals, AL has a Machinists median of $82,690 per year, or $25,990 above Lancaster, PA. BLS lists 160 jobs there, compared with 560 in Lancaster, PA. The location quotient is 1.59.
3. Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA has a Machinists median of $80,620 per year, or $23,920 above Lancaster, PA. BLS lists 370 jobs there, compared with 560 in Lancaster, PA. The location quotient is 2.11.
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. Lancaster, PA has 560. 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 10,710 jobs from Lancaster, PA. Its median is $59,520 per year, or $2,820 above Lancaster, PA. Its location quotient is 1.35.
2. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI has 9,420 estimated Machinists jobs, a gap of 8,860 jobs from Lancaster, PA. Its median is $62,070 per year, or $5,370 above Lancaster, PA. 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. Lancaster, PA has 1.21. 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 14.74 from Lancaster, PA. BLS lists 1,470 Machinists jobs and a median of $61,230 per year, or $4,530 above Lancaster, PA.
2. Rockford, IL has a location quotient of 7.1, a gap of 5.89 from Lancaster, PA. BLS lists 1,800 Machinists jobs and a median of $49,700 per year, or $7,000 below Lancaster, PA.
3. Fond du Lac, WI has a location quotient of 6.77, a gap of 5.56 from Lancaster, PA. BLS lists 550 Machinists jobs and a median of $57,700 per year, or $1,000 above Lancaster, PA.
Job scale and share
How common Machinists is in Lancaster, PA
BLS lists 560 Machinists jobs in Lancaster, PA. It also lists 2.24 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 1.21. A value of 1 means Machinists has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher 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.
The all-occupations median in Lancaster, PA is $48,210 per year. The Machinists median is $56,700 per year. Machinists is 17.6% 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 Lancaster, 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 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. Carpenters, SOC 47-2031, has a Lancaster, PA median of $55,690 per year. BLS lists 2,750 jobs and a location quotient of 2.53.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Lancaster, PA median of $58,350 per year. BLS lists 5,080 jobs and a location quotient of 1.52.
3. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators, SOC 53-7051, has a Lancaster, PA median of $50,050 per year. BLS lists 2,380 jobs and a location quotient of 1.89.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Lancaster, PA
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Lancaster, PA table, at 7,400 jobs. Machinists has 560 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 252,230. 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 7,400 jobs in Lancaster, PA, a gap of 6,840 from Machinists. Its median is $30,280 per year, or $26,420 below Machinists. Its location quotient is 1.17.
2. General and Operations Managers has 6,990 jobs in Lancaster, PA, a gap of 6,430 from Machinists. Its median is $98,810 per year, or $42,110 above Machinists. Its location quotient is 1.23.
3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 6,990 jobs in Lancaster, PA, a gap of 6,430 from Machinists. Its median is $29,150 per year, or $27,550 below Machinists. Its location quotient is 1.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Lancaster, PA
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Lancaster, PA role table, at $98,810 per year. Machinists has $56,700 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,210 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 $98,810 per year in Lancaster, PA, or $42,110 above Machinists. BLS lists 6,990 jobs, compared with 560 for Machinists. Its location quotient is 1.23.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $89,620 per year in Lancaster, PA, or $32,920 above Machinists. BLS lists 5,640 jobs, compared with 560 for Machinists. Its location quotient is 1.03.
3. Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education has a median of $80,820 per year in Lancaster, PA, or $24,120 above Machinists. BLS lists 1,900 jobs, compared with 560 for Machinists. Its location quotient is 1.1.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Lancaster, PA
Carpenters has the highest location quotient in the bounded Lancaster, PA role table, at 2.53. Machinists has 1.21. 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. Carpenters has a location quotient of 2.53 in Lancaster, PA, a gap of 1.32 from Machinists. BLS lists 2,750 jobs and a median of $55,690 per year, or $1,010 below Machinists.
2. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has a location quotient of 1.89 in Lancaster, PA, a gap of 0.68 from Machinists. BLS lists 2,380 jobs and a median of $50,050 per year, or $6,650 below Machinists.
3. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.75 in Lancaster, PA, a gap of 0.54 from Machinists. BLS lists 3,990 jobs and a median of $46,530 per year, or $10,170 below Machinists.
Price-level view
What $56,700 may mean after the Lancaster, PA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Lancaster, PA is 98.3. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.7% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $56,700 Machinists median by 98.3 divided by 100. The result is $57,706 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 93.8. Goods are 100.7. Utilities are 107.3. 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.
The employment RSE for this Machinists row is 6.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.1%. 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 560 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $55,720 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 Machinists. It uses a Lancaster, 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 $56,700 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 Lancaster, 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 560 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.21 is not a growth score. Rank 188 of 361 is not a place score. The 98.3 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 29540. 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.
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.
