What the Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median says in Missouri
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median in Missouri at $60,540 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 47-2073 and BLS area 29.
BLS lists 10,470 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 $67,960 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Missouri's Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median is 1.2% above the U.S. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median of $59,850 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 47-2073 and area 29. SOC 47-2073 names Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. Area 29 names Missouri. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2073/29 row reports 10,470 wage and salary jobs, 3.57 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.16 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2073/29, the annual median is $60,540 per year, while the matching mean is $67,960 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 29 facts behind this Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators page
Area 29 reports 2,936,050 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $62,160. Its annual median is $47,800. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2073 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Missouri runs from $29,780 at the 10th percentile to $104,320 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,160. The median is $47,800. The 75th percentile is $74,260. This is a place check, not a pay range for Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators.
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 29. They do not show related skills or a path into Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators.
1. Area 29, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 109,020 jobs, $79,300 annual median, 37.13 jobs per 1,000, and 1.65 location quotient.
2. Area 29, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 94,810 jobs, $33,080 annual median, 32.29 jobs per 1,000, and 1.17 location quotient.
3. Area 29, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 76,310 jobs, $81,780 annual median, 25.99 jobs per 1,000, and 1.2 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Missouri wage ladder for Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators
The 10th percentile is $43,290 per year. The 25th percentile is $48,290 per year. The median is $60,540 per year. The 75th percentile is $84,400 per year. The 90th percentile is $94,130 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 $48,290 per year to $84,400 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $50,840. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Missouri has a annual median of $60,540 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $59,850 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Missouri. Missouri is 1.2% 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.
Where Missouri sits for Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators
Missouri ranks 28 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 28 of 54 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.
25. Maryland has a Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median of $61,410 per year, 6,610 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.78.
26. Utah has a Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median of $60,740 per year, 7,880 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.48.
27. Arizona has a Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median of $60,620 per year, 13,200 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.33.
Pay leaders
Where Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2073, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Hawaii has the highest published median in this set, at $115,860 per year. Missouri sits at $60,540 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators 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. Hawaii has a Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median of $115,860 per year, or $55,320 above Missouri. BLS lists 2,380 jobs there, compared with 10,470 in Missouri. The location quotient is 1.23.
2. Illinois has a Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median of $97,740 per year, or $37,200 above Missouri. BLS lists 12,290 jobs there, compared with 10,470 in Missouri. The location quotient is 0.66.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators in this same-source set, at 55,540 jobs. Missouri has 10,470. 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 55,540 estimated Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators jobs, a gap of 45,070 jobs from Missouri. Its median is $50,460 per year, or $10,080 below Missouri. Its location quotient is 1.28.
2. California has 36,020 estimated Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators jobs, a gap of 25,550 jobs from Missouri. Its median is $87,160 per year, or $26,620 above Missouri. Its location quotient is 0.64.
Local-share leaders
Where Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators takes the largest share of local jobs
Wyoming has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.4. Missouri has 1.16. 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 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators 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. Wyoming has a location quotient of 4.4, a gap of 3.24 from Missouri. BLS lists 3,800 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators jobs and a median of $62,960 per year, or $2,420 above Missouri.
2. North Dakota has a location quotient of 3.7, a gap of 2.54 from Missouri. BLS lists 4,890 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators jobs and a median of $62,150 per year, or $1,610 above Missouri.
Job scale and share
How common Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators is in Missouri
BLS lists 10,470 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators jobs in Missouri. It also lists 3.57 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 1.16. A value of 1 means Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators 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.
Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators beside other roles in Missouri
The all-occupations median in Missouri is $47,800 per year. The Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median is $60,540 per year. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators is 26.7% 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 Missouri. 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 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. 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. Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education, SOC 25-2031, has a Missouri median of $59,240 per year. BLS lists 24,380 jobs and a location quotient of 1.21.
2. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products, SOC 41-4012, has a Missouri median of $61,940 per year. BLS lists 21,960 jobs and a location quotient of 0.94.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Missouri
General and Operations Managers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Missouri table, at 109,020 jobs. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has 10,470 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 2,936,050. 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 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. General and Operations Managers has 109,020 jobs in Missouri, a gap of 98,550 from Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. Its median is $79,300 per year, or $18,760 above Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. Its location quotient is 1.65.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 94,810 jobs in Missouri, a gap of 84,340 from Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. Its median is $33,080 per year, or $27,460 below Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. Its location quotient is 1.17.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Missouri
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Missouri role table, at $126,120 per year. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has $60,540 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,800 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 $126,120 per year in Missouri, or $65,580 above Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. BLS lists 20,020 jobs, compared with 10,470 for Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. Its location quotient is 0.63.
2. Project Management Specialists has a median of $94,660 per year in Missouri, or $34,120 above Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. BLS lists 21,460 jobs, compared with 10,470 for Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. Its location quotient is 1.07.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Missouri
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Missouri role table, at 4.61. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has 1.16. 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 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 4.61 in Missouri, a gap of 3.45 from Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. BLS lists 55,780 jobs and a median of $29,890 per year, or $30,650 below Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators.
2. General and Operations Managers has a location quotient of 1.65 in Missouri, a gap of 0.49 from Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. BLS lists 109,020 jobs and a median of $79,300 per year, or $18,760 above Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators.
Price-level view
What $60,540 may mean after the Missouri price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Missouri is 90.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.2% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $60,540 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators median by 90.8 divided by 100. The result is $66,662 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 69.9. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 79.4. Other services are 95.2. 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 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators row is 4.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.5%. 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 10,470 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $67,960 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 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators. It uses a Missouri 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 $60,540 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 Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators row for Missouri 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 10,470 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.16 is not a growth score. Rank 28 of 54 is not a place score. The 90.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-2073 in BLS area 29. 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 10,470 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.
