How much do miscellaneous assemblers and fabricators make in Springfield, MO?

What the Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators median says in Springfield, MO

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators median in Springfield, MO at $45,270 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 51-2090 and BLS area 44180.

BLS lists 2,320 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 $45,570 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Springfield, MO's Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators median is 1.4% above the U.S. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators median of $44,650 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

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 $38,150 per year to $53,710 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $22,650. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Compare Springfield, MO with its state and the U.S.

Springfield, MO has a annual median of $45,270 per year. Missouri has $46,480 per year. The U.S. row has $44,650 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

Springfield, MO is 2.6% below Missouri on the same published median. Springfield, MO is 1.4% 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.

Where Springfield, MO sits for Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators

Springfield, MO ranks 133 of 381 among metro areas with a published annual median for Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 133 of 381 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.

Where Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators medians lead among metro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 51-2090, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Lafayette, LA has the highest published median in this set, at $64,950 per year. Springfield, MO sits at $45,270 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators 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.

Where BLS counts the most Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators jobs

Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI has the largest published metro job estimate for Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators in this same-source set, at 55,100 jobs. Springfield, MO has 2,320. 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.

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 Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators 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.

How common Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators is in Springfield, MO

BLS lists 2,320 Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators jobs in Springfield, MO. It also lists 10.4 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 1.15. A value of 1 means Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators 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.

Roles with the largest local share in Springfield, MO

Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Springfield, MO role table, at 5.3. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 1.15. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.

What $45,270 may mean after the Springfield, MO price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Springfield, MO is 88.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $45,270 Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators median by 88.6 divided by 100. The result is $51,103 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 65.6. Goods are 94.2. Utilities are 85.8. Other services are 93.0. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.

How much care to use with the Springfield, MO row

The employment RSE for this Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators row is 4.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.7%. 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 2,320 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $45,570 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.

Use Springfield, MO wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators. It uses a Springfield, MO 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 $45,270 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 Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators row for Springfield, MO 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 2,320 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.15 is not a growth score. Rank 133 of 381 is not a place score. The 88.6 price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-2090 in BLS area 44180. 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.
