What the Maintenance and Repair Workers, General median says in Manhattan, KS

BLS lists 570 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 $47,380 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

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 $38,310 per year to $56,000 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $33,480. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Manhattan, KS has a annual median of $46,370 per year. Kansas has $47,210 per year. The U.S. row has $49,590 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

The state and U.S. rows are benchmarks, 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 Manhattan, KS sits for Maintenance and Repair Workers, General

Manhattan, KS ranks 264 of 393 among metro areas with a published annual median for Maintenance and Repair Workers, General. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 264 of 393 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.

Where Maintenance and Repair Workers, General medians lead among metro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 49-9071, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has the highest published median in this set, at $63,980 per year. Manhattan, KS sits at $46,370 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Maintenance and Repair Workers, General 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.

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.

Use this list to ask where Maintenance and Repair Workers, General 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.

How common Maintenance and Repair Workers, General is in Manhattan, KS

BLS lists 570 Maintenance and Repair Workers, General jobs in Manhattan, KS. It also lists 10.66 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 1.08. A value of 1 means Maintenance and Repair Workers, General 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 job count is 53,500. 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.

What $46,370 may mean after the Manhattan, KS price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Manhattan, KS is 90.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $46,370 Maintenance and Repair Workers, General median by 90.2 divided by 100. The result is $51,430 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 72.0. Goods are 94.0. Utilities are 88.4. Other services are 93.8. 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 Manhattan, KS row

The employment RSE for this Maintenance and Repair Workers, General row is 4.3%. 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 570 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $47,380 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 Manhattan, KS wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Maintenance and Repair Workers, General. It uses a Manhattan, KS 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 $46,370 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 Maintenance and Repair Workers, General row for Manhattan, KS 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 570 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.08 is not a growth score. Rank 264 of 393 is not a place score. The 90.2 price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 49-9071 in BLS area 31740. 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.
