East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area was 22.2% below the U.S. median for Paramedics. It ranked 102 of 129 nonmetro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Paramedics median says in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Paramedics median in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area at $47,120 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 29-2043 and BLS area 4700004.
BLS lists 130 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 $49,060 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area's Paramedics median is 22.2% below the U.S. Paramedics median of $60,600 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 29-2043 and area 4700004. SOC 29-2043 names Paramedics. Area 4700004 names East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-2043/4700004 row reports 130 wage and salary jobs, 0.92 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.43 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-2043/4700004, the annual median is $47,120 per year, while the matching mean is $49,060 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
29-2043/4700004 10th percentile: $38,900 per year.
29-2043/4700004 25th percentile: $39,480 per year.
29-2043/4700004 median: $47,120 per year.
29-2043/4700004 75th percentile: $49,640 per year.
29-2043/4700004 90th percentile: $70,230 per year.
BLS area 4700004 facts behind this Paramedics page
Area 4700004 reports 140,860 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $47,800. Its annual median is $39,230. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-2043 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area runs from $24,660 at the 10th percentile to $77,440 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $30,470. The median is $39,230. The 75th percentile is $54,910. This is a place check, not a pay range for Paramedics.
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 4700004. They do not show related skills or a path into Paramedics.
1. Area 4700004, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 5,500 jobs, $30,810 annual median, 39.04 jobs per 1,000, and 1.56 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Paramedics
The 10th percentile is $38,900 per year. The 25th percentile is $39,480 per year. The median is $47,120 per year. The 75th percentile is $49,640 per year. The 90th percentile is $70,230 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 $39,480 per year to $49,640 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $31,330. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $47,120 per year. Tennessee has $57,690 per year. The U.S. row has $60,600 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area is 18.3% below Tennessee on the same published median. East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area is 22.2% 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 East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area sits for Paramedics
East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area ranks 102 of 129 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Paramedics. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 102 of 129 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.
99. Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $47,440 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.78.
100. Northeast Virginia nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $47,390 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.93.
101. South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $47,280 per year, 190 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.73.
103. South Arkansas nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $47,090 per year, 150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.94.
Pay leaders
Where Paramedics medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 29-2043, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Western Washington nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $81,520 per year. East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area sits at $47,120 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Paramedics 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. Western Washington nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $81,520 per year, or $34,400 above East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 270 jobs there, compared with 130 in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 3.22.
2. Eastern Washington nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $79,770 per year, or $32,650 above East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 170 jobs there, compared with 130 in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 2.45.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Paramedics jobs
Western North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Paramedics in this same-source set, at 680 jobs. East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has 130. 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. Western North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 680 estimated Paramedics jobs, a gap of 550 jobs from East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $48,110 per year, or $990 above East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 4.18.
2. Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 560 estimated Paramedics jobs, a gap of 430 jobs from East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $49,980 per year, or $2,860 above East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 3.27.
Local-share leaders
Where Paramedics takes the largest share of local jobs
Western North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 4.18. East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area has 1.43. 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 Paramedics 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. Western North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 4.18, a gap of 2.75 from East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 680 Paramedics jobs and a median of $48,110 per year, or $990 above East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area.
2. Central North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 3.32, a gap of 1.89 from East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 510 Paramedics jobs and a median of $48,090 per year, or $970 above East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Paramedics is in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 130 Paramedics jobs in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.92 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 1.43. A value of 1 means Paramedics 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.
Paramedics beside other roles in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area is $39,230 per year. The Paramedics median is $47,120 per year. Paramedics is 20.1% 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 East Tennessee 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 Paramedics. 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. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area median of $47,810 per year. BLS lists 2,810 jobs and a location quotient of 1.51.
2. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers, SOC 51-9061, has a East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area median of $45,660 per year. BLS lists 1,080 jobs and a location quotient of 1.99.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area table, at 5,500 jobs. Paramedics has 130 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 140,860. 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 Paramedics's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 5,500 jobs in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 5,370 from Paramedics. Its median is $30,810 per year, or $16,310 below Paramedics. Its location quotient is 1.56.
2. Cashiers has 5,050 jobs in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,920 from Paramedics. Its median is $27,870 per year, or $19,250 below Paramedics. Its location quotient is 1.8.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area role table, at $80,230 per year. Paramedics has $47,120 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $39,230 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $80,230 per year in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area, or $33,110 above Paramedics. BLS lists 2,190 jobs, compared with 130 for Paramedics. Its location quotient is 0.69.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $75,410 per year in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area, or $28,290 above Paramedics. BLS lists 1,810 jobs, compared with 130 for Paramedics. Its location quotient is 0.59.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area
Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has the highest location quotient in the bounded East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area role table, at 5.06. Paramedics has 1.43. 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 Paramedics with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has a location quotient of 5.06 in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3.63 from Paramedics. BLS lists 1,200 jobs and a median of $29,270 per year, or $17,850 below Paramedics.
2. Production Workers, All Other has a location quotient of 4.9 in East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3.47 from Paramedics. BLS lists 1,120 jobs and a median of $45,540 per year, or $1,580 below Paramedics.
Price-level view
What $47,120 may mean after the East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $47,120 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 Paramedics 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 East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Paramedics row is 4.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.6%. 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 130 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $49,060 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 East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Paramedics. It uses a East Tennessee 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 $47,120 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 Paramedics row for East Tennessee 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 130 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.43 is not a growth score. Rank 102 of 129 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 29-2043 in BLS area 4700004. 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 130 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.
