BLS lists 750 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 $42,210 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Compare Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL with its state and the U.S.
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL has a annual median of $39,220 per year. Florida has $41,220 per year. The U.S. row has $47,180 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL is 4.9% below Florida on the same published median. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL is 16.9% 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 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 Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL sits for Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL ranks 176 of 195 among metro areas with a published annual median for Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 176 of 195 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.
173. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL. The Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is $39,510 per year. BLS estimates 320 jobs. The location quotient is 0.14.

Pay leaders
Where Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4081, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX has the highest published median in this set, at $80,110 per year. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL sits at $39,220 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX has a Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $80,110 per year, or $40,890 above Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. BLS lists 5,440 jobs there, compared with 750 in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. The location quotient is 1.68.
2. Charleston, WV has a Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $71,470 per year, or $32,250 above Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. BLS lists 90 jobs there, compared with 750 in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. The location quotient is 1.15.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has the largest published metro job estimate for Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic in this same-source set, at 5,460 jobs. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL has 750. 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 5,460 estimated Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 4,710 jobs from Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. Its median is $45,030 per year, or $5,810 above Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. Its location quotient is 1.51.
2. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX has 5,440 estimated Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 4,690 jobs from Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. Its median is $80,110 per year, or $40,890 above Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. Its location quotient is 1.68.
Local-share leaders
Where Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic takes the largest share of local jobs
Columbus, IN has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 10.92. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL has 0.65. 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 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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. Columbus, IN has a location quotient of 10.92, a gap of 10.27 from Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. BLS lists 440 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $47,320 per year, or $8,100 above Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL.
2. Elmira, NY has a location quotient of 9.16, a gap of 8.51 from Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. BLS lists 250 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $51,170 per year, or $11,950 above Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL.
Job scale and share
How common Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL
BLS lists 750 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. It also lists 0.52 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 0.65. A value of 1 means Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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
Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic beside other roles in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL
The all-occupations median in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL is $48,940 per year. The Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is $39,220 per year. Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is 19.9% 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 Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. 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 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. 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. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL median of $37,570 per year. BLS lists 22,610 jobs and a location quotient of 0.82.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL table, at 45,130 jobs. Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 750 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 1,447,120. 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 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 45,130 jobs in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL, a gap of 44,380 from Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL role table, at $130,450 per year. Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has $39,220 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,940 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 $130,450 per year in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL, or $91,230 above Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL
Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL role table, at 1.83. Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 0.65. 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 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has a location quotient of 1.83 in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL, a gap of 1.18 from Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.

Price-level view
What $39,220 may mean after the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL is 100.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 0.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $39,220 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median by 100.9 divided by 100. The result is $38,874 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 125.8. Goods are 95.5. Utilities are 88.5. Other services are 97.6. 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 Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL row
The employment RSE for this Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row is 8.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.8%. 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 750 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $42,210 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 Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. It uses a Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL 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 $39,220 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 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row for Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL 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 750 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.65 is not a growth score. Rank 176 of 195 is not a place score. The 100.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-4081 in BLS area 45300. 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 Multiple Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs does BLS estimate in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL?
BLS estimates 750 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.
