What the Medical Equipment Preparers median says in North Carolina
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Medical Equipment Preparers median in North Carolina at $45,130 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 31-9093 and BLS area 37.
BLS lists 2,900 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 $46,220 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
North Carolina's Medical Equipment Preparers median is 5.4% below the U.S. Medical Equipment Preparers median of $47,700 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 31-9093 and area 37. SOC 31-9093 names Medical Equipment Preparers. Area 37 names North Carolina. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-9093/37 row reports 2,900 wage and salary jobs, 0.59 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.18 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-9093/37, the annual median is $45,130 per year, while the matching mean is $46,220 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 37 facts behind this Medical Equipment Preparers page
Area 37 reports 4,941,820 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,290. Its annual median is $47,970. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 31-9093 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in North Carolina runs from $28,580 at the 10th percentile to $119,640 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,030. The median is $47,970. The 75th percentile is $75,610. This is a place check, not a pay range for Medical Equipment Preparers.
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 37. They do not show related skills or a path into Medical Equipment Preparers.
1. Area 37, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 127,540 jobs, $31,370 annual median, 25.81 jobs per 1,000, and 1.03 location quotient.
2. Area 37, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 116,720 jobs, $38,230 annual median, 23.62 jobs per 1,000, and 1.24 location quotient.
3. Area 37, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 111,120 jobs, $84,350 annual median, 22.49 jobs per 1,000, and 1.03 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the North Carolina wage ladder for Medical Equipment Preparers
The 10th percentile is $36,410 per year. The 25th percentile is $39,250 per year. The median is $45,130 per year. The 75th percentile is $48,770 per year. The 90th percentile is $58,950 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 $39,250 per year to $48,770 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $22,540. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare North Carolina with its state and the U.S.
North Carolina has a annual median of $45,130 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $47,700 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for North Carolina. North Carolina is 5.4% 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 North Carolina sits for Medical Equipment Preparers
North Carolina ranks 37 of 52 among states and territories with a published annual median for Medical Equipment Preparers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 37 of 52 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.
34. Ohio has a Medical Equipment Preparers median of $45,540 per year, 3,210 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.16.
35. Kansas has a Medical Equipment Preparers median of $45,280 per year, 740 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.04.
36. Indiana has a Medical Equipment Preparers median of $45,210 per year, 1,750 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.1.
38. West Virginia has a Medical Equipment Preparers median of $44,830 per year, 530 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.51.
Pay leaders
Where Medical Equipment Preparers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 31-9093, 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 $61,370 per year. North Carolina sits at $45,130 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Medical Equipment Preparers 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 Medical Equipment Preparers median of $61,370 per year, or $16,240 above North Carolina. BLS lists 8,720 jobs there, compared with 2,900 in North Carolina. The location quotient is 0.96.
2. Washington has a Medical Equipment Preparers median of $58,830 per year, or $13,700 above North Carolina. BLS lists 1,670 jobs there, compared with 2,900 in North Carolina. The location quotient is 0.94.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Medical Equipment Preparers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Medical Equipment Preparers in this same-source set, at 8,720 jobs. North Carolina has 2,900. 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 8,720 estimated Medical Equipment Preparers jobs, a gap of 5,820 jobs from North Carolina. Its median is $61,370 per year, or $16,240 above North Carolina. Its location quotient is 0.96.
2. Florida has 5,250 estimated Medical Equipment Preparers jobs, a gap of 2,350 jobs from North Carolina. Its median is $45,890 per year, or $760 above North Carolina. Its location quotient is 1.06.
Local-share leaders
Where Medical Equipment Preparers takes the largest share of local jobs
South Dakota has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.12. North Carolina has 1.18. 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 Medical Equipment Preparers 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. South Dakota has a location quotient of 2.12, a gap of 0.94 from North Carolina. BLS lists 480 Medical Equipment Preparers jobs and a median of $42,330 per year, or $2,800 below North Carolina.
2. North Dakota has a location quotient of 1.65, a gap of 0.47 from North Carolina. BLS lists 350 Medical Equipment Preparers jobs and a median of $38,910 per year, or $6,220 below North Carolina.
3. Oregon has a location quotient of 1.6, a gap of 0.42 from North Carolina. BLS lists 1,570 Medical Equipment Preparers jobs and a median of $48,890 per year, or $3,760 above North Carolina.
Job scale and share
How common Medical Equipment Preparers is in North Carolina
BLS lists 2,900 Medical Equipment Preparers jobs in North Carolina. It also lists 0.59 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 1.18. A value of 1 means Medical Equipment Preparers 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.
Medical Equipment Preparers beside other roles in North Carolina
The all-occupations median in North Carolina is $47,970 per year. The Medical Equipment Preparers median is $45,130 per year. Medical Equipment Preparers is 5.9% 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 North Carolina. 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 Medical Equipment Preparers. 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. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers, SOC 35-1012, has a North Carolina median of $45,010 per year. BLS lists 39,750 jobs and a location quotient of 1.02.
2. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a North Carolina median of $45,790 per year. BLS lists 43,690 jobs and a location quotient of 0.81.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in North Carolina
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded North Carolina table, at 127,540 jobs. Medical Equipment Preparers has 2,900 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 4,941,820. 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 Medical Equipment Preparers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 127,540 jobs in North Carolina, a gap of 124,640 from Medical Equipment Preparers. Its median is $31,370 per year, or $13,760 below Medical Equipment Preparers. Its location quotient is 1.03.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 116,720 jobs in North Carolina, a gap of 113,820 from Medical Equipment Preparers. Its median is $38,230 per year, or $6,900 below Medical Equipment Preparers. Its location quotient is 1.24.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around North Carolina
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded North Carolina role table, at $134,710 per year. Medical Equipment Preparers has $45,130 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,970 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 $134,710 per year in North Carolina, or $89,580 above Medical Equipment Preparers. BLS lists 58,470 jobs, compared with 2,900 for Medical Equipment Preparers. Its location quotient is 1.09.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $101,950 per year in North Carolina, or $56,820 above Medical Equipment Preparers. BLS lists 63,740 jobs, compared with 2,900 for Medical Equipment Preparers. Its location quotient is 0.57.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in North Carolina
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded North Carolina role table, at 4.02. Medical Equipment Preparers has 1.18. 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 Medical Equipment Preparers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 4.02 in North Carolina, a gap of 2.84 from Medical Equipment Preparers. BLS lists 81,980 jobs and a median of $27,190 per year, or $17,940 below Medical Equipment Preparers.
2. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has a location quotient of 1.86 in North Carolina, a gap of 0.68 from Medical Equipment Preparers. BLS lists 56,840 jobs and a median of $44,190 per year, or $940 below Medical Equipment Preparers.
Price-level view
What $45,130 may mean after the North Carolina price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for North Carolina is 94.3. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.7% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $45,130 Medical Equipment Preparers median by 94.3 divided by 100. The result is $47,845 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 81.4. Goods are 96.6. Utilities are 88.6. Other services are 98.2. 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 Medical Equipment Preparers row is 3%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. 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 2,900 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $46,220 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 Medical Equipment Preparers. It uses a North Carolina 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 $45,130 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 Medical Equipment Preparers row for North Carolina 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 2,900 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.18 is not a growth score. Rank 37 of 52 is not a place score. The 94.3 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 31-9093 in BLS area 37. 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 2,900 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.
