WageScope divides the published Materials Scientists 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 19-2032 and BLS area 55.
Questions, answered
Materials Scientists pay in Wisconsin: common questions
What is the median wage for Materials Scientists in Wisconsin?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $137,700 per year for Materials Scientists in Wisconsin. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Materials Scientists pay higher in Wisconsin than nationally?
Wisconsin's published median was 16.9% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Wisconsin?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 94.1 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Materials Scientists median says in Wisconsin
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Materials Scientists median in Wisconsin at $137,700 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 19-2032 and BLS area 55.
BLS lists 70 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 $128,070 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Wisconsin's Materials Scientists median is 16.9% above the U.S. Materials Scientists median of $117,790 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 19-2032 and area 55. SOC 19-2032 names Materials Scientists. Area 55 names Wisconsin. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-2032/55 row reports 70 wage and salary jobs, 0.03 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.47 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-2032/55, the annual median is $137,700 per year, while the matching mean is $128,070 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 55 facts behind this Materials Scientists page
Area 55 reports 2,941,540 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,270. Its annual median is $50,270. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-2032 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Wisconsin runs from $29,980 at the 10th percentile to $104,990 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,700. The median is $50,270. The 75th percentile is $76,350. This is a place check, not a pay range for Materials Scientists.
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 55. They do not show related skills or a path into Materials Scientists.
1. Area 55, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 82,430 jobs, $36,340 annual median, 28.02 jobs per 1,000, and 1.01 location quotient.
2. Area 55, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 70,520 jobs, $44,610 annual median, 23.98 jobs per 1,000, and 1.26 location quotient.
3. Area 55, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 68,060 jobs, $95,530 annual median, 23.14 jobs per 1,000, and 1.06 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Wisconsin wage ladder for Materials Scientists
The 10th percentile is $73,650 per year. The 25th percentile is $98,160 per year. The median is $137,700 per year. The 75th percentile is $154,540 per year. The 90th percentile is $160,640 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 $98,160 per year to $154,540 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $86,990. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Wisconsin has a annual median of $137,700 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $117,790 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Wisconsin. Wisconsin is 16.9% 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.
Wisconsin ranks 3 of 30 among states and territories with a published annual median for Materials Scientists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 3 of 30 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.
1. California has a Materials Scientists median of $177,030 per year, 1,030 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.04.
2. Oregon has a Materials Scientists median of $150,550 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.95.
4. District of Columbia has a Materials Scientists median of $137,600 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
5. Massachusetts has a Materials Scientists median of $132,600 per year, 890 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 4.5.
Pay leaders
Where Materials Scientists medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 19-2032, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. California has the highest published median in this set, at $177,030 per year. Wisconsin sits at $137,700 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Materials Scientists 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. California has a Materials Scientists median of $177,030 per year, or $39,330 above Wisconsin. BLS lists 1,030 jobs there, compared with 70 in Wisconsin. The location quotient is 1.04.
2. Oregon has a Materials Scientists median of $150,550 per year, or $12,850 above Wisconsin. BLS lists 100 jobs there, compared with 70 in Wisconsin. The location quotient is 0.95.
3. Wisconsin has a Materials Scientists median of $137,700 per year, or $0 above Wisconsin. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 70 in Wisconsin. The location quotient is 0.47.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Materials Scientists jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Materials Scientists in this same-source set, at 1,030 jobs. Wisconsin has 70. 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 1,030 estimated Materials Scientists jobs, a gap of 960 jobs from Wisconsin. Its median is $177,030 per year, or $39,330 above Wisconsin. Its location quotient is 1.04.
2. Massachusetts has 890 estimated Materials Scientists jobs, a gap of 820 jobs from Wisconsin. Its median is $132,600 per year, or $5,100 below Wisconsin. Its location quotient is 4.5.
3. New York has 530 estimated Materials Scientists jobs, a gap of 460 jobs from Wisconsin. Its median is $131,740 per year, or $5,960 below Wisconsin. Its location quotient is 1.
Local-share leaders
Where Materials Scientists takes the largest share of local jobs
Massachusetts has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.5. Wisconsin has 0.47. 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 Materials Scientists 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. Massachusetts has a location quotient of 4.5, a gap of 4.03 from Wisconsin. BLS lists 890 Materials Scientists jobs and a median of $132,600 per year, or $5,100 below Wisconsin.
2. Colorado has a location quotient of 2.35, a gap of 1.88 from Wisconsin. BLS lists 370 Materials Scientists jobs and a median of $117,290 per year, or $20,410 below Wisconsin.
3. Iowa has a location quotient of 2.09, a gap of 1.62 from Wisconsin. BLS lists 180 Materials Scientists jobs and a median of $88,320 per year, or $49,380 below Wisconsin.
Job scale and share
How common Materials Scientists is in Wisconsin
BLS lists 70 Materials Scientists jobs in Wisconsin. It also lists 0.03 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 0.47. A value of 1 means Materials Scientists 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.
Materials Scientists beside other roles in Wisconsin
The all-occupations median in Wisconsin is $50,270 per year. The Materials Scientists median is $137,700 per year. Materials Scientists is 173.9% 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 Wisconsin. 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 Materials Scientists. 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. Software Developers, SOC 15-1252, has a Wisconsin median of $122,660 per year. BLS lists 21,730 jobs and a location quotient of 0.68.
2. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Wisconsin median of $118,730 per year. BLS lists 36,910 jobs and a location quotient of 0.56.
3. Project Management Specialists, SOC 13-1082, has a Wisconsin median of $97,580 per year. BLS lists 21,610 jobs and a location quotient of 1.07.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Wisconsin
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Wisconsin table, at 82,430 jobs. Materials Scientists has 70 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 2,941,540. 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 Materials Scientists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 82,430 jobs in Wisconsin, a gap of 82,360 from Materials Scientists. Its median is $36,340 per year, or $101,360 below Materials Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.01.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 70,520 jobs in Wisconsin, a gap of 70,450 from Materials Scientists. Its median is $44,610 per year, or $93,090 below Materials Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Wisconsin
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Wisconsin role table, at $122,660 per year. Materials Scientists has $137,700 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $50,270 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 $122,660 per year in Wisconsin, or $15,040 below Materials Scientists. BLS lists 21,730 jobs, compared with 70 for Materials Scientists. Its location quotient is 0.68.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $118,730 per year in Wisconsin, or $18,970 below Materials Scientists. BLS lists 36,910 jobs, compared with 70 for Materials Scientists. Its location quotient is 0.56.
3. Project Management Specialists has a median of $97,580 per year in Wisconsin, or $40,120 below Materials Scientists. BLS lists 21,610 jobs, compared with 70 for Materials Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.07.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Wisconsin
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Wisconsin role table, at 2.06. Materials Scientists has 0.47. 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 Materials Scientists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Bartenders has a location quotient of 2.06 in Wisconsin, a gap of 1.59 from Materials Scientists. BLS lists 29,520 jobs and a median of $23,460 per year, or $114,240 below Materials Scientists.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a location quotient of 2 in Wisconsin, a gap of 1.53 from Materials Scientists. BLS lists 25,500 jobs and a median of $74,840 per year, or $62,860 below Materials Scientists.
3. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.74 in Wisconsin, a gap of 1.27 from Materials Scientists. BLS lists 46,360 jobs and a median of $45,670 per year, or $92,030 below Materials Scientists.
Price-level view
What $137,700 may mean after the Wisconsin price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Wisconsin is 94.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $137,700 Materials Scientists median by 94.1 divided by 100. The result is $146,341 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 79.3. Goods are 94.3. Utilities are 89.9. Other services are 99.5. 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 Materials Scientists row is 27.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.2%. 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 70 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $128,070 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 Materials Scientists. It uses a Wisconsin 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 $137,700 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 Materials Scientists row for Wisconsin 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 70 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.47 is not a growth score. Rank 3 of 30 is not a place score. The 94.1 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 19-2032 in BLS area 55. 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 70 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.
