Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH was 11.0% below the U.S. median for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. It ranked 40 of 59 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median says in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH at $48,460 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 51-4051 and BLS area 19430.
BLS lists 30 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.
Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH's Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median is 11.0% below the U.S. Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median of $54,430 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.

Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH has a annual median of $48,460 per year. Ohio has $55,080 per year. The U.S. row has $54,430 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH is 12.0% below Ohio on the same published median. Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH is 11.0% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH sits for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders
Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH ranks 40 of 59 among metro areas with a published annual median for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 40 of 59 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.
37. Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX has a Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median of $49,440 per year, 130 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.36.
38. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has a Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median of $49,410 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.29.

Pay leaders
Where Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4051, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Spokane-Spokane Valley, WA has the highest published median in this set, at $85,370 per year. Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH sits at $48,460 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders 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. Spokane-Spokane Valley, WA has a Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median of $85,370 per year, or $36,910 above Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. BLS lists 240 jobs there, compared with 30 in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. The location quotient is 8.78.
2. Utica-Rome, NY has a Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median of $77,560 per year, or $29,100 above Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. BLS lists 190 jobs there, compared with 30 in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. The location quotient is 14.72.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has the largest published metro job estimate for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders in this same-source set, at 700 jobs. Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH has 30. 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 700 estimated Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs, a gap of 670 jobs from Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. Its median is $63,170 per year, or $14,710 above Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. Its location quotient is 1.43.
2. Cleveland, OH has 520 estimated Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs, a gap of 490 jobs from Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. Its median is $65,660 per year, or $17,200 above Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. Its location quotient is 4.65.
Local-share leaders
Where Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders takes the largest share of local jobs
Muskegon-Norton Shores, MI has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 18.02. Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH has 0.86. 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 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders 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. Muskegon-Norton Shores, MI has a location quotient of 18.02, a gap of 17.16 from Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. BLS lists 120 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs and a median of $40,050 per year, or $8,410 below Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH.
2. Michigan City-La Porte, IN has a location quotient of 16.27, a gap of 15.41 from Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. BLS lists 70 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs and a median of $46,960 per year, or $1,500 below Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH.
Job scale and share
How common Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders is in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH
BLS lists 30 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. It also lists 0.09 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 0.86. A value of 1 means Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders 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.
Local job mix
Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders beside other roles in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH
The all-occupations median in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH is $49,980 per year. The Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median is $48,460 per year.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. 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 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. 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. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH median of $46,310 per year. BLS lists 3,640 jobs and a location quotient of 0.89.

Area job mix

Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH table, at 11,860 jobs. Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders has 30 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 372,660. 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 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 11,860 jobs in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH, a gap of 11,830 from Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its median is $27,680 per year, or $20,780 below Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its location quotient is 1.28.
2. Registered Nurses has 11,640 jobs in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH, a gap of 11,610 from Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its median is $82,510 per year, or $34,050 above Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its location quotient is 1.44.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH role table, at $106,910 per year. Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders has $48,460 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,980 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 $106,910 per year in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH, or $58,450 above Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. BLS lists 3,910 jobs, compared with 30 for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its location quotient is 0.97.
2. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a median of $102,660 per year in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH, or $54,200 above Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. BLS lists 4,370 jobs, compared with 30 for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its location quotient is 1.68.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH
Buyers and Purchasing Agents has the highest location quotient in the bounded Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH role table, at 2.42. Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders has 0.86. 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 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Buyers and Purchasing Agents has a location quotient of 2.42 in Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH, a gap of 1.56 from Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. BLS lists 2,850 jobs and a median of $94,520 per year, or $46,060 above Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders.

Price-level view
What $48,460 may mean after the Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH is 92.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $48,460 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median by 92.7 divided by 100. The result is $52,280 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 72.7. Goods are 93.6. Utilities are 95.4. Other services are 98.9. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH row
The employment RSE for this Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders row is 19.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 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 30 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. It uses a Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH 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 $48,460 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.
Limits
What the Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders row for Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH 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 30 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.86 is not a growth score. Rank 40 of 59 is not a place score. The 92.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-4051 in BLS area 19430. 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 30 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
