WageScope divides the published Musicians and Singers 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 27-2042 and BLS area 06.
Questions, answered
Musicians and Singers pay in California: common questions
What is the median wage for Musicians and Singers in California?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $43.83 per hour for Musicians and Singers in California. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Musicians and Singers pay higher in California than nationally?
California's published median was 8.3% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in California?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 110.7 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Musicians and Singers median says in California
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Musicians and Singers median in California at $43.83 per hour. 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 27-2042 and BLS area 06.
BLS lists 6,840 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 $61.30 per hour. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
California's Musicians and Singers median is 8.3% below the U.S. Musicians and Singers median of $47.80 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 27-2042 and area 06. SOC 27-2042 names Musicians and Singers. Area 06 names California. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 27-2042/06 row reports 6,840 wage and salary jobs, 0.38 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.61 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 27-2042/06, the hourly median is $43.83 per hour, while the matching mean is $61.30 per hour. The row is hourly only. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

BLS area 06 facts behind this Musicians and Singers page
Area 06 reports 18,213,700 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $80,690. Its annual median is $58,240. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 27-2042 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in California runs from $35,950 at the 10th percentile to $159,080 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $41,600. The median is $58,240. The 75th percentile is $97,880. This is a place check, not a pay range for Musicians and Singers.
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 06. They do not show related skills or a path into Musicians and Singers.
1. Area 06, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 970,150 jobs, $34,320 annual median, 53.27 jobs per 1,000, and 1.92 location quotient.
2. Area 06, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 449,840 jobs, $42,280 annual median, 24.7 jobs per 1,000, and 1 location quotient.
3. Area 06, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 376,460 jobs, $38,440 annual median, 20.67 jobs per 1,000, and 0.82 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the California wage ladder for Musicians and Singers
The 10th percentile is $21.61 per hour. The 25th percentile is $28.23 per hour. The median is $43.83 per hour. The 75th percentile is $75.32 per hour. The 90th percentile is $123.63 per hour.
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 $28.23 per hour to $75.32 per hour. The 10th-to-90th span is $102.02. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
California has a hourly median of $43.83 per hour. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $47.80 per hour. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for California. California is 8.3% 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.
California ranks 13 of 28 among states and territories with a published hourly median for Musicians and Singers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 13 of 28 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.
10. Washington has a Musicians and Singers median of $46.55 per hour, 750 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.91.
11. Colorado has a Musicians and Singers median of $46.27 per hour, 420 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.63.
12. New Mexico has a Musicians and Singers median of $45.14 per hour, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.28.
14. Indiana has a Musicians and Singers median of $39.92 per hour, 400 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.53.
Pay leaders
Where Musicians and Singers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 27-2042, the same hourly median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Nevada has the highest published median in this set, at $65.46 per hour. California sits at $43.83 per hour.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Musicians and Singers 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. Nevada has a Musicians and Singers median of $65.46 per hour, or $21.63 above California. BLS lists 260 jobs there, compared with 6,840 in California. The location quotient is 0.72.
2. North Carolina has a Musicians and Singers median of $57.96 per hour, or $14.13 above California. BLS lists 750 jobs there, compared with 6,840 in California. The location quotient is 0.65.
3. Minnesota has a Musicians and Singers median of $53.64 per hour, or $9.81 above California. BLS lists 540 jobs there, compared with 6,840 in California. The location quotient is 0.79.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Musicians and Singers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Musicians and Singers in this same-source set, at 6,840 jobs. California has 6,840. 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. California has 6,840 estimated Musicians and Singers jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from California. Its median is $43.83 per hour, or $0.00 above California. Its location quotient is 1.61.
2. Florida has 2,130 estimated Musicians and Singers jobs, a gap of 4,710 jobs from California. Its median is $50.47 per hour, or $6.64 above California. Its location quotient is 0.92.
3. Ohio has 1,760 estimated Musicians and Singers jobs, a gap of 5,080 jobs from California. Its median is $33.36 per hour, or $10.47 below California. Its location quotient is 1.36.
Local-share leaders
Where Musicians and Singers takes the largest share of local jobs
Hawaii has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 5.08. California has 1.61. 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 Musicians and Singers 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. Hawaii has a location quotient of 5.08, a gap of 3.47 from California. BLS lists 740 Musicians and Singers jobs and a median of $52.59 per hour, or $8.76 above California.
2. Montana has a location quotient of 2.17, a gap of 0.56 from California. BLS lists 260 Musicians and Singers jobs and a median of $46.84 per hour, or $3.01 above California.
3. California has a location quotient of 1.61, a gap of 0.00 from California. BLS lists 6,840 Musicians and Singers jobs and a median of $43.83 per hour, or $0.00 above California.
Job scale and share
How common Musicians and Singers is in California
BLS lists 6,840 Musicians and Singers jobs in California. It also lists 0.38 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 1.61. A value of 1 means Musicians and Singers 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.
Musicians and Singers beside other roles in California
The all-occupations median in California is $58,240 per year. The Musicians and Singers median is $43.83 per hour. Musicians and Singers is 56.5% 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 California. 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 Musicians and Singers. 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. Business Operations Specialists, All Other, SOC 13-1199, has a California median of $87,570 per year. BLS lists 155,000 jobs and a location quotient of 1.22.
2. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a California median of $97,050 per year. BLS lists 175,360 jobs and a location quotient of 1.03.
3. Management Analysts, SOC 13-1111, has a California median of $101,460 per year. BLS lists 137,280 jobs and a location quotient of 1.3.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in California
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded California table, at 970,150 jobs. Musicians and Singers has 6,840 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 18,213,700. 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 Musicians and Singers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 970,150 jobs in California, a gap of 963,310 from Musicians and Singers. Its median is $16.50 per hour, or $27.33 below Musicians and Singers. Its location quotient is 1.92.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 449,840 jobs in California, a gap of 443,000 from Musicians and Singers. Its median is $20.33 per hour, or $23.50 below Musicians and Singers. Its location quotient is 1.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around California
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded California role table, at $174,410 per year. Musicians and Singers has $43.83 per hour. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $58,240 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 $83.85 per hour in California, or $40.02 above Musicians and Singers. BLS lists 284,390 jobs, compared with 6,840 for Musicians and Singers. Its location quotient is 1.44.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $67.44 per hour in California, or $23.61 above Musicians and Singers. BLS lists 338,940 jobs, compared with 6,840 for Musicians and Singers. Its location quotient is 0.86.
3. General and Operations Managers has a median of $59.81 per hour in California, or $15.98 above Musicians and Singers. BLS lists 300,840 jobs, compared with 6,840 for Musicians and Singers. Its location quotient is 0.73.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in California
Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has the highest location quotient in the bounded California role table, at 5.54. Musicians and Singers has 1.61. 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 Musicians and Singers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has a location quotient of 5.54 in California, a gap of 3.93 from Musicians and Singers. BLS lists 172,260 jobs and a median of $17.11 per hour, or $26.72 below Musicians and Singers.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.92 in California, a gap of 0.31 from Musicians and Singers. BLS lists 970,150 jobs and a median of $16.50 per hour, or $27.33 below Musicians and Singers.
Price-level view
What $43.83 may mean after the California price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for California is 110.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.7% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $43.83 Musicians and Singers median by 110.7 divided by 100. The result is $39.59 in national-price dollars per hour. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 154.3. Goods are 106.1. Utilities are 158.9. Other services are 102.6. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Musicians and Singers row is 10.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 6.4%. 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 6,840 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $61.30 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 Musicians and Singers. It uses a California 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 $43.83 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 Musicians and Singers row for California 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 6,840 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.61 is not a growth score. Rank 13 of 28 is not a place score. The 110.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 27-2042 in BLS area 06. 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 6,840 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.
