What the Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median says in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area at $58,380 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 4200004.
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 $56,730 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area's Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median is 7.3% above the U.S. Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median of $54,430 on the same published median.

Same-source checks
Compare Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $58,380 per year. Pennsylvania has $55,910 per year. The U.S. row has $54,430 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area is 4.4% above Pennsylvania on the same published median. Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area is 7.3% 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 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area sits for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders
Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area ranks 6 of 29 among nonmetro 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 6 of 29 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.
3. Eastern Ohio nonmetropolitan area. The Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median is $62,450 per year. BLS estimates 120 jobs. The location quotient is 8.13.
4. South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. The Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median is $60,420 per year. BLS estimates 190 jobs. The location quotient is 10.5.
5. Northwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. The Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median is $58,740 per year. BLS estimates 60 jobs. The location quotient is 3.68.
Pay leaders
Where Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4051, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. West Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $65,160 per year. Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area sits at $58,380 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. West Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has a Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median of $65,160 per year, or $6,780 above Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 70 in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 5.03.
2. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median of $63,360 per year, or $4,980 above Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area.

Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs
West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders in this same-source set, at 310 jobs. Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area 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. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has 310 estimated Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs, a gap of 240 jobs from Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $63,360 per year, or $4,980 above Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 22.24.
2. East Arkansas nonmetropolitan area has 270 estimated Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs, a gap of 200 jobs from Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $37,110 per year, or $21,270 below Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 37.36.
Local-share leaders
Where Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders takes the largest share of local jobs
East Arkansas nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 37.36. Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has 4.36. 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. East Arkansas nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 37.36, a gap of 33.00 from Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 270 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs and a median of $37,110 per year, or $21,270 below Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area.
2. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 22.24, a gap of 17.88 from Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 310 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs and a median of $63,360 per year, or $4,980 above Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders is in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 70 Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.47 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 4.36. 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 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.
Local job mix
Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders beside other roles in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area is $46,600 per year. The Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders median is $58,380 per year. Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders is 25.3% 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 Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. 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. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area median of $59,500 per year. BLS lists 1,310 jobs and a location quotient of 1.01.

The largest detailed roles in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,180 jobs. Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders 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 140,370. 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 4,180 jobs in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,110 from Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its median is $26,890 per year, or $31,490 below Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its location quotient is 1.2.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 3,880 jobs in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,810 from Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its median is $31,800 per year, or $26,580 below Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its location quotient is 1.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area role table, at $83,210 per year. Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders has $58,380 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,600 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $83,210 per year in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, or $24,830 above Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. BLS lists 3,680 jobs, compared with 70 for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its location quotient is 1.16.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $79,930 per year in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, or $21,550 above Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. BLS lists 2,390 jobs, compared with 70 for Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. Its location quotient is 0.78.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
Correctional Officers and Jailers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area role table, at 7.33. Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders has 4.36. 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. Correctional Officers and Jailers has a location quotient of 7.33 in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2.97 from Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. BLS lists 2,520 jobs and a median of $63,460 per year, or $5,080 above Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders.
2. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 3.92 in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 0.44 from Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders.

Price-level view
What $58,380 may mean after the Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $58,380 BLS median stays a nominal wage.
No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.
You can still compare Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
Data care
How much care to use with the Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders row is 16.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.7%. 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 $56,730 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 Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders. It uses a Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area 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 $58,380 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 Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area 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 4.36 is not a growth score. Rank 6 of 29 is not a place score. A missing 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 4200004. 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.
How many Metal-Refining Furnace Operators and Tenders jobs does BLS estimate in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 70 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
