What the Packers and Packagers, Hand median says in Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Packers and Packagers, Hand median in Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area at $33,920 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 53-7064 and BLS area 4100007.

BLS lists 380 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 $34,440 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area's Packers and Packagers, Hand median is 6.5% below the U.S. Packers and Packagers, Hand median of $36,280 on the same published median.

Compare Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.

Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $33,920 per year. Oregon has $36,190 per year. The U.S. row has $36,280 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

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 Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area sits for Packers and Packagers, Hand

Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area ranks 79 of 135 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Packers and Packagers, Hand. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 79 of 135 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 Packers and Packagers, Hand medians lead among nonmetro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 53-7064, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Eastern and Southern Colorado nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $48,030 per year. Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area sits at $33,920 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Packers and Packagers, Hand 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.

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.

Use this list to ask where Packers and Packagers, Hand 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.

The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Packers and Packagers, Hand with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $33,920 may mean after the Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area price level

WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $33,920 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 Packers and Packagers, Hand 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 Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area row

The employment RSE for this Packers and Packagers, Hand row is 11.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 2%. 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 380 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $34,440 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 Central Oregon nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Packers and Packagers, Hand. It uses a Central Oregon 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 $33,920 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 Packers and Packagers, Hand row for Central Oregon 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 380 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.13 is not a growth score. Rank 79 of 135 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 53-7064 in BLS area 4100007. 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.
