What the Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median says in Texas
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median in Texas at $38,470 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 43-9051 and BLS area 48.
BLS lists 3,250 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 $38,980 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Texas's Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median is 2.1% below the U.S. Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median of $39,280 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 43-9051 and area 48. SOC 43-9051 names Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. Area 48 names Texas. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-9051/48 row reports 3,250 wage and salary jobs, 0.23 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.65 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-9051/48, the annual median is $38,470 per year, while the matching mean is $38,980 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 48 facts behind this Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service page
Area 48 reports 14,071,160 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $65,750. Its annual median is $48,620. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-9051 row.

This is a place check, not a pay range for Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service.
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 48. They do not show related skills or a path into Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service.
1. Area 48, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 460,530 jobs, $27,740 annual median, 32.73 jobs per 1,000, and 1.32 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Texas wage ladder for Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service
The 10th percentile is $27,630 per year. The 25th percentile is $33,420 per year. The median is $38,470 per year. The 75th percentile is $44,870 per year. The 90th percentile is $49,290 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 $33,420 per year to $44,870 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $21,660. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Texas has a annual median of $38,470 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $39,280 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Texas. Texas is 2.1% 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 Texas sits for Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service
Texas ranks 24 of 51 among states and territories with a published annual median for Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 24 of 51 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.
21. Montana has a Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median of $38,880 per year, 180 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.01.
22. Indiana has a Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median of $38,490 per year, 1,310 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.16.

Pay leaders
Where Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 43-9051, 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 $49,240 per year. Texas sits at $38,470 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service 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 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median of $49,240 per year, or $10,770 above Texas. BLS lists 310 jobs there, compared with 3,250 in Texas. The location quotient is 1.25.
2. Massachusetts has a Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median of $48,860 per year, or $10,390 above Texas. BLS lists 1,050 jobs there, compared with 3,250 in Texas. The location quotient is 0.81.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service jobs
New York has the largest published state job estimate for Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service in this same-source set, at 5,990 jobs. Texas has 3,250. 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. New York has 5,990 estimated Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service jobs, a gap of 2,740 jobs from Texas. Its median is $42,020 per year, or $3,550 above Texas. Its location quotient is 1.74.
2. California has 4,710 estimated Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service jobs, a gap of 1,460 jobs from Texas. Its median is $44,410 per year, or $5,940 above Texas. Its location quotient is 0.73.
Local-share leaders
Where Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service takes the largest share of local jobs
Delaware has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.68. Texas has 0.65. 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 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service 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. Delaware has a location quotient of 3.68, a gap of 3.03 from Texas. BLS lists 630 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service jobs and a median of $36,450 per year, or $2,020 below Texas.
2. South Dakota has a location quotient of 1.97, a gap of 1.32 from Texas. BLS lists 320 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service jobs and a median of $37,580 per year, or $890 below Texas.
Job scale and share
How common Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service is in Texas
BLS lists 3,250 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service jobs in Texas. It also lists 0.23 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 0.65. A value of 1 means Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service 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.
Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service beside other roles in Texas
The all-occupations median in Texas is $48,620 per year. The Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median is $38,470 per year. Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service is 20.9% 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 Texas. 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 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. 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. Office Clerks, General, SOC 43-9061, has a Texas median of $39,000 per year. BLS lists 218,470 jobs and a location quotient of 0.98.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Texas median of $37,540 per year. BLS lists 216,970 jobs and a location quotient of 0.81.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Texas
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Texas table, at 460,530 jobs. Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service has 3,250 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 14,071,160. 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 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 460,530 jobs in Texas, a gap of 457,280 from Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. Its median is $27,740 per year, or $10,730 below Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. Its location quotient is 1.32.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Texas
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Texas role table, at $132,150 per year. Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service has $38,470 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,620 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. Software Developers has a median of $132,150 per year in Texas, or $93,680 above Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. BLS lists 163,880 jobs, compared with 3,250 for Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. Its location quotient is 1.07.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $103,230 per year in Texas, or $64,760 above Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Texas
Customer Service Representatives has the highest location quotient in the bounded Texas role table, at 1.44. Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service has 0.65. 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 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Customer Service Representatives has a location quotient of 1.44 in Texas, a gap of 0.79 from Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. BLS lists 337,170 jobs and a median of $40,420 per year, or $1,950 above Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service.
2. Project Management Specialists has a location quotient of 1.44 in Texas, a gap of 0.79 from Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. BLS lists 138,960 jobs and a median of $98,440 per year, or $59,970 above Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service.
Price-level view
What $38,470 may mean after the Texas price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Texas is 97.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 2.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $38,470 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service median by 97.1 divided by 100. The result is $39,637 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 96.5. Goods are 98.1. Utilities are 87.5. Other services are 97.1. 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 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service row is 11.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.4%. 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 3,250 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $38,980 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 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service. It uses a Texas 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 $38,470 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 Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service row for Texas 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 3,250 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.65 is not a growth score. Rank 24 of 51 is not a place score. The 97.1 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-9051 in BLS area 48. 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 3,250 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.
