Questions, answered
Paramedics pay in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area: common questions
What is the median wage for Paramedics in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $44,490 per year for Paramedics in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.

1.2%
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area was 26.6% below the U.S. median for Paramedics. It ranked 124 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 Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Paramedics median in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area at $44,490 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 0100001.
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 $48,640 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area's Paramedics median is 26.6% 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 0100001. SOC 29-2043 names Paramedics. Area 0100001 names Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-2043/0100001 row reports 40 wage and salary jobs, 0.53 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.82 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-2043/0100001, the annual median is $44,490 per year, while the matching mean is $48,640 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
29-2043/0100001 10th percentile: $35,250 per year.
29-2043/0100001 25th percentile: $38,900 per year.
29-2043/0100001 median: $44,490 per year.
29-2043/0100001 75th percentile: $60,960 per year.
29-2043/0100001 90th percentile: $61,340 per year.
BLS area 0100001 facts behind this Paramedics page
Area 0100001 reports 67,570 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $48,440. Its annual median is $41,000. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-2043 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area runs from $23,570 at the 10th percentile to $76,700 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $30,750. The median is $41,000. The 75th percentile is $56,130. 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 0100001. They do not show related skills or a path into Paramedics.
1. Area 0100001, SOC 51-2090, Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators: 4,500 jobs, $42,260 annual median, 66.54 jobs per 1,000, and 7.36 location quotient.
2. Area 0100001, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 1,860 jobs, $26,390 annual median, 27.49 jobs per 1,000, and 1.38 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Paramedics
The 10th percentile is $35,250 per year. The 25th percentile is $38,900 per year. The median is $44,490 per year. The 75th percentile is $60,960 per year. The 90th percentile is $61,340 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 $38,900 per year to $60,960 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $26,090. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $44,490 per year. Alabama has $48,540 per year. The U.S. row has $60,600 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area is 8.3% below Alabama on the same published median. Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area is 26.6% 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 Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area sits for Paramedics
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area ranks 124 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 124 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.
121. Eastern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $44,780 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.66.
122. Middle Georgia nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $44,730 per year, 150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.63.
123. Southeast Oklahoma nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $44,720 per year, 280 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.3.
125. Northwest Oklahoma nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $44,480 per year, 150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.43.
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. Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area sits at $44,490 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 $37,030 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 270 jobs there, compared with 40 in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 3.22.
2. Eastern Washington nonmetropolitan area has a Paramedics median of $79,770 per year, or $35,280 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 170 jobs there, compared with 40 in Northwest Alabama 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. Northwest Alabama 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. Western North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 680 estimated Paramedics jobs, a gap of 640 jobs from Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $48,110 per year, or $3,620 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 4.18.
2. Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 560 estimated Paramedics jobs, a gap of 520 jobs from Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $49,980 per year, or $5,490 above Northwest Alabama 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. Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area has 0.82. 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 3.36 from Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 680 Paramedics jobs and a median of $48,110 per year, or $3,620 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area.
2. Central North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 3.32, a gap of 2.50 from Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 510 Paramedics jobs and a median of $48,090 per year, or $3,600 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Paramedics is in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 40 Paramedics jobs in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.53 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 0.82. A value of 1 means Paramedics 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.
Paramedics beside other roles in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area is $41,000 per year. The Paramedics median is $44,490 per year. Paramedics is 8.5% 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 Northwest Alabama 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. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area median of $44,230 per year. BLS lists 560 jobs and a location quotient of 0.85.
2. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers, SOC 51-9061, has a Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area median of $43,330 per year. BLS lists 650 jobs and a location quotient of 2.51.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,500 jobs. Paramedics 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 67,570. 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. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 4,500 jobs in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,460 from Paramedics. Its median is $42,260 per year, or $2,230 below Paramedics. Its location quotient is 7.36.
2. Cashiers has 1,860 jobs in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1,820 from Paramedics. Its median is $26,390 per year, or $18,100 below Paramedics. Its location quotient is 1.38.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area role table, at $103,990 per year. Paramedics has $44,490 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $41,000 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 $103,990 per year in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, or $59,500 above Paramedics. BLS lists 750 jobs, compared with 40 for Paramedics. Its location quotient is 0.49.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $64,540 per year in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, or $20,050 above Paramedics. BLS lists 1,330 jobs, compared with 40 for Paramedics. Its location quotient is 0.9.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has the highest location quotient in the bounded Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area role table, at 8.51. Paramedics has 0.82. 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. Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has a location quotient of 8.51 in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 7.69 from Paramedics. BLS lists 630 jobs and a median of $40,710 per year, or $3,780 below Paramedics.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 7.36 in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 6.54 from Paramedics. BLS lists 4,500 jobs and a median of $42,260 per year, or $2,230 below Paramedics.
Price-level view
What $44,490 may mean after the Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $44,490 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 Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Paramedics row is 27.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 7.7%. 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 $48,640 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 Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Paramedics. It uses a Northwest Alabama 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 $44,490 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 Northwest Alabama 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 0.82 is not a growth score. Rank 124 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 0100001. 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.
