How much do news analysts, reporters, and journalists make in Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area?

What the News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists median says in Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists median in Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area at $37,960 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 27-3023 and BLS area 4800001.

BLS lists 40 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 $41,660 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area's News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists median is 39.0% below the U.S. News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists median of $62,200 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 $27,660 per year to $44,300 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $37,280. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Compare Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.

Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $37,960 per year. Texas has $48,470 per year. The U.S. row has $62,200 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area is 21.7% below Texas on the same published median. Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area is 39.0% 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.

Where Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area sits for News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists

Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area ranks 19 of 30 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 19 of 30 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 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists medians lead among nonmetro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 27-3023, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Southwest Colorado nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $50,030 per year. Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area sits at $37,960 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists 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 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists jobs

Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists in this same-source set, at 110 jobs. Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has 40. 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.

West South Dakota nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 2.56. Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has 0.83. 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 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists 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 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists is in Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area

BLS lists 40 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists jobs in Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.21 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 0.83. A value of 1 means News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists 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.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Northwestern Region of Texas 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 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists. 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.

The all-occupations job count is 189,010. 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 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

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 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $37,960 may mean after the Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area price level

WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $37,960 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 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists 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.

How much care to use with the Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area row

The employment RSE for this News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists row is 6.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.4%. 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 40 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $41,660 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 Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists. It uses a Northwestern Region of Texas 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 $37,960 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 News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists row for Northwestern Region of Texas 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 40 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.83 is not a growth score. Rank 19 of 30 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 27-3023 in BLS area 4800001. 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.
