What the Order Clerks median says in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Order Clerks median in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area at $38,480 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 43-4151 and BLS area 2100001.
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 $38,330 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area's Order Clerks median is 16.7% below the U.S. Order Clerks median of $46,170 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 43-4151 and area 2100001. SOC 43-4151 names Order Clerks. Area 2100001 names West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-4151/2100001 row reports 40 wage and salary jobs, 0.34 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.71 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-4151/2100001, the annual median is $38,480 per year, while the matching mean is $38,330 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
43-4151/2100001 10th percentile: $23,000 per year.
43-4151/2100001 25th percentile: $32,670 per year.
43-4151/2100001 median: $38,480 per year.
43-4151/2100001 75th percentile: $40,630 per year.
43-4151/2100001 90th percentile: $49,830 per year.

The all-jobs wage ladder in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area runs from $26,260 at the 10th percentile to $83,660 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $32,130. The median is $43,870. The 75th percentile is $61,690. This is a place check, not a pay range for Order Clerks.
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 2100001. They do not show related skills or a path into Order Clerks.
1. Area 2100001, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 3,750 jobs, $27,090 annual median, 29.14 jobs per 1,000, and 1.47 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Order Clerks
The 10th percentile is $23,000 per year. The 25th percentile is $32,670 per year. The median is $38,480 per year. The 75th percentile is $40,630 per year. The 90th percentile is $49,830 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 $32,670 per year to $40,630 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $26,830. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $38,480 per year. Kentucky has $40,620 per year. The U.S. row has $46,170 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area is 5.3% below Kentucky on the same published median. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area is 16.7% 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.
Where West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area sits for Order Clerks
West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area ranks 59 of 72 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Order Clerks. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 59 of 72 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.
56. Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a Order Clerks median of $38,730 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.89.
57. Northeast Oklahoma nonmetropolitan area has a Order Clerks median of $38,560 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.01.
58. West Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has a Order Clerks median of $38,490 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.16.
60. Mid Michigan nonmetropolitan area has a Order Clerks median of $38,370 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.92.
Pay leaders
Where Order Clerks medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 43-4151, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Southeast Iowa nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $53,590 per year. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area sits at $38,480 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Order Clerks 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. Southeast Iowa nonmetropolitan area has a Order Clerks median of $53,590 per year, or $15,110 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 190 jobs there, compared with 40 in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.95.
2. East Central Illinois nonmetropolitan area has a Order Clerks median of $53,530 per year, or $15,050 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 40 in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.94.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Order Clerks jobs
North Northeastern Ohio nonmetropolitan area (noncontiguous) has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Order Clerks in this same-source set, at 200 jobs. West Kentucky 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.
1. North Northeastern Ohio nonmetropolitan area (noncontiguous) has 200 estimated Order Clerks jobs, a gap of 160 jobs from West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $37,730 per year, or $750 below West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.64.
2. Southeast Iowa nonmetropolitan area has 190 estimated Order Clerks jobs, a gap of 150 jobs from West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $53,590 per year, or $15,110 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.95.
Local-share leaders
Where Order Clerks takes the largest share of local jobs
Northwestern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 2.3. West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has 0.71. 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 Order Clerks 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. Northwestern South Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.3, a gap of 1.59 from West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 100 Order Clerks jobs and a median of $38,370 per year, or $110 below West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area.
2. East South Dakota nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 1.99, a gap of 1.28 from West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 130 Order Clerks jobs and a median of $48,010 per year, or $9,530 above West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Order Clerks is in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 40 Order Clerks jobs in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.34 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 0.71. A value of 1 means Order Clerks 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.
Order Clerks beside other roles in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area is $43,870 per year. The Order Clerks median is $38,480 per year. Order Clerks is 12.3% 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 West Kentucky 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 Order Clerks. 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 West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area median of $38,140 per year. BLS lists 3,250 jobs and a location quotient of 1.33.
2. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area median of $38,820 per year. BLS lists 1,350 jobs and a location quotient of 0.96.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area table, at 3,750 jobs. Order Clerks has 40 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 128,740. 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 Order Clerks's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 3,750 jobs in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,710 from Order Clerks. Its median is $27,090 per year, or $11,390 below Order Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.47.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 3,350 jobs in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,310 from Order Clerks. Its median is $49,330 per year, or $10,850 above Order Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.96.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area role table, at $76,960 per year. Order Clerks has $38,480 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $43,870 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $76,960 per year in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, or $38,480 above Order Clerks. BLS lists 2,710 jobs, compared with 40 for Order Clerks. Its location quotient is 0.97.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a median of $72,800 per year in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, or $34,320 above Order Clerks. BLS lists 1,380 jobs, compared with 40 for Order Clerks. Its location quotient is 2.48.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area
Industrial Machinery Mechanics has the highest location quotient in the bounded West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area role table, at 4.03. Order Clerks has 0.71. 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 Order Clerks with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a location quotient of 4.03 in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3.32 from Order Clerks. BLS lists 1,470 jobs and a median of $67,930 per year, or $29,450 above Order Clerks.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a location quotient of 2.48 in West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.77 from Order Clerks. BLS lists 1,380 jobs and a median of $72,800 per year, or $34,320 above Order Clerks.
Price-level view
What $38,480 may mean after the West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $38,480 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 Order Clerks 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 West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Order Clerks row is 25.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.1%. 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 $38,330 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 West Kentucky nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Order Clerks. It uses a West Kentucky 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 $38,480 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 Order Clerks row for West Kentucky 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 0.71 is not a growth score. Rank 59 of 72 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 43-4151 in BLS area 2100001. 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 40 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.
