WageScope divides the published Meter Readers, Utilities 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 43-5041 and BLS area 36.

What the Meter Readers, Utilities median says in New York
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Meter Readers, Utilities median in New York at $56,960 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 43-5041 and BLS area 36.
BLS lists 930 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 $64,020 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
New York's Meter Readers, Utilities median is 18.3% above the U.S. Meter Readers, Utilities median of $48,150 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 43-5041 and area 36. SOC 43-5041 names Meter Readers, Utilities. Area 36 names New York. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-5041/36 row reports 930 wage and salary jobs, 0.1 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.76 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-5041/36, the annual median is $56,960 per year, while the matching mean is $64,020 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 36 facts behind this Meter Readers, Utilities page
Area 36 reports 9,688,000 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $82,460. Its annual median is $59,670. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-5041 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in New York runs from $35,760 at the 10th percentile to $157,500 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $41,160. The median is $59,670. The 75th percentile is $98,810. This is a place check, not a pay range for Meter Readers, Utilities.
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 36. They do not show related skills or a path into Meter Readers, Utilities.
1. Area 36, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 663,140 jobs, $39,620 annual median, 68.45 jobs per 1,000, and 2.47 location quotient.
2. Area 36, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 238,540 jobs, $37,720 annual median, 24.62 jobs per 1,000, and 0.98 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the New York wage ladder for Meter Readers, Utilities
The 10th percentile is $39,630 per year. The 25th percentile is $46,960 per year. The median is $56,960 per year. The 75th percentile is $66,030 per year. The 90th percentile is $108,190 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 $46,960 per year to $66,030 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $68,560. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
New York has a annual median of $56,960 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $48,150 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for New York. New York is 18.3% 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 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.
New York ranks 17 of 40 among states and territories with a published annual median for Meter Readers, Utilities. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 17 of 40 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.
14. Illinois has a Meter Readers, Utilities median of $60,690 per year, 570 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.75.
15. West Virginia has a Meter Readers, Utilities median of $59,430 per year, 280 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.17.
16. Delaware has a Meter Readers, Utilities median of $58,240 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.56.
18. Rhode Island has a Meter Readers, Utilities median of $56,830 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.62.
Pay leaders
Where Meter Readers, Utilities medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 43-5041, 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 $79,040 per year. New York sits at $56,960 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Meter Readers, Utilities 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 Meter Readers, Utilities median of $79,040 per year, or $22,080 above New York. BLS lists 810 jobs there, compared with 930 in New York. The location quotient is 0.35.
2. Pennsylvania has a Meter Readers, Utilities median of $78,450 per year, or $21,490 above New York. BLS lists 860 jobs there, compared with 930 in New York. The location quotient is 1.13.
3. Nevada has a Meter Readers, Utilities median of $76,120 per year, or $19,160 above New York. BLS lists 160 jobs there, compared with 930 in New York. The location quotient is 0.84.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Meter Readers, Utilities jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Meter Readers, Utilities in this same-source set, at 1,360 jobs. New York has 930. 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. Texas has 1,360 estimated Meter Readers, Utilities jobs, a gap of 430 jobs from New York. Its median is $43,030 per year, or $13,930 below New York. Its location quotient is 0.77.
2. Ohio has 1,070 estimated Meter Readers, Utilities jobs, a gap of 140 jobs from New York. Its median is $47,780 per year, or $9,180 below New York. Its location quotient is 1.55.
3. New York has 930 estimated Meter Readers, Utilities jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from New York. Its median is $56,960 per year, or $0 above New York. Its location quotient is 0.76.
Local-share leaders
Where Meter Readers, Utilities takes the largest share of local jobs
Mississippi has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.1. New York has 0.76. 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 Meter Readers, Utilities 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. Mississippi has a location quotient of 4.1, a gap of 3.34 from New York. BLS lists 600 Meter Readers, Utilities jobs and a median of $37,120 per year, or $19,840 below New York.
2. New Mexico has a location quotient of 3.18, a gap of 2.42 from New York. BLS lists 350 Meter Readers, Utilities jobs and a median of $48,530 per year, or $8,430 below New York.
3. West Virginia has a location quotient of 3.17, a gap of 2.41 from New York. BLS lists 280 Meter Readers, Utilities jobs and a median of $59,430 per year, or $2,470 above New York.
Job scale and share
How common Meter Readers, Utilities is in New York
BLS lists 930 Meter Readers, Utilities jobs in New York. It also lists 0.1 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 0.76. A value of 1 means Meter Readers, Utilities 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.
Meter Readers, Utilities beside other roles in New York
The all-occupations median in New York is $59,670 per year. The Meter Readers, Utilities median is $56,960 per year. Meter Readers, Utilities is 4.5% 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 New York. 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 Meter Readers, Utilities. 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. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a New York median of $57,790 per year. BLS lists 119,650 jobs and a location quotient of 1.26.
2. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a New York median of $58,160 per year. BLS lists 84,280 jobs and a location quotient of 0.98.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in New York
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded New York table, at 663,140 jobs. Meter Readers, Utilities has 930 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 9,688,000. 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 Meter Readers, Utilities's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 663,140 jobs in New York, a gap of 662,210 from Meter Readers, Utilities. Its median is $39,620 per year, or $17,340 below Meter Readers, Utilities. Its location quotient is 2.47.
2. Retail Salespersons has 238,540 jobs in New York, a gap of 237,610 from Meter Readers, Utilities. Its median is $37,720 per year, or $19,240 below Meter Readers, Utilities. Its location quotient is 0.98.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around New York
Financial Managers has the highest published median in the bounded New York role table, at $219,880 per year. Meter Readers, Utilities has $56,960 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $59,670 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. Financial Managers has a median of $219,880 per year in New York, or $162,920 above Meter Readers, Utilities. BLS lists 80,810 jobs, compared with 930 for Meter Readers, Utilities. Its location quotient is 1.54.
2. Lawyers has a median of $207,860 per year in New York, or $150,900 above Meter Readers, Utilities. BLS lists 91,870 jobs, compared with 930 for Meter Readers, Utilities. Its location quotient is 1.95.
3. Software Developers has a median of $166,180 per year in New York, or $109,220 above Meter Readers, Utilities. BLS lists 113,510 jobs, compared with 930 for Meter Readers, Utilities. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in New York
Executive Secretaries and Executive Administrative Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded New York role table, at 3.1. Meter Readers, Utilities has 0.76. 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 Meter Readers, Utilities with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Executive Secretaries and Executive Administrative Assistants has a location quotient of 3.1 in New York, a gap of 2.34 from Meter Readers, Utilities. BLS lists 88,890 jobs and a median of $80,640 per year, or $23,680 above Meter Readers, Utilities.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 2.47 in New York, a gap of 1.71 from Meter Readers, Utilities. BLS lists 663,140 jobs and a median of $39,620 per year, or $17,340 below Meter Readers, Utilities.
Price-level view
What $56,960 may mean after the New York price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for New York is 107.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $56,960 Meter Readers, Utilities median by 107.9 divided by 100. The result is $52,779 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 122.2. Goods are 107.3. Utilities are 134.4. Other services are 104.1. 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 Meter Readers, Utilities row is 6.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.7%. 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 930 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $64,020 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 Meter Readers, Utilities. It uses a New York 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 $56,960 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 Meter Readers, Utilities row for New York 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 930 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.76 is not a growth score. Rank 17 of 40 is not a place score. The 107.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-5041 in BLS area 36. 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 930 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.
