What the Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median says in Oregon
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median in Oregon at $63,310 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 47-2071 and BLS area 41.
BLS lists 520 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 $69,920 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Oregon's Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median is 18.7% above the U.S. Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median of $53,340 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 47-2071 and area 41. SOC 47-2071 names Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. Area 41 names Oregon. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2071/41 row reports 520 wage and salary jobs, 0.26 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.98 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2071/41, the annual median is $63,310 per year, while the matching mean is $69,920 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 41 facts behind this Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators page
Area 41 reports 1,967,130 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $72,460. Its annual median is $57,000. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2071 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Oregon runs from $35,680 at the 10th percentile to $129,520 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $42,690. The median is $57,000. The 75th percentile is $83,070. This is a place check, not a pay range for Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping 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 41. They do not show related skills or a path into Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators.
1. Area 41, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 59,920 jobs, $35,050 annual median, 30.46 jobs per 1,000, and 1.23 location quotient.
2. Area 41, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 48,090 jobs, $36,770 annual median, 24.45 jobs per 1,000, and 0.98 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Oregon wage ladder for Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators
The 10th percentile is $55,490 per year. The 25th percentile is $59,950 per year. The median is $63,310 per year. The 75th percentile is $73,930 per year. The 90th percentile is $103,330 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 $59,950 per year to $73,930 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $47,840. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Oregon has a annual median of $63,310 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $53,340 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Oregon. Oregon is 18.7% 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 Oregon sits for Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators
Oregon ranks 12 of 51 among states and territories with a published annual median for Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping 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 12 of 51 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.
9. Missouri has a Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median of $69,400 per year, 1,560 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.98.
10. Wisconsin has a Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median of $69,020 per year, 960 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.22.
11. Minnesota has a Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median of $68,180 per year, 830 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.04.
Pay leaders
Where Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2071, 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 $111,360 per year. Oregon sits at $63,310 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping 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 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median of $111,360 per year, or $48,050 above Oregon. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with 520 in Oregon. The location quotient is Not published.
2. District of Columbia has a Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median of $91,280 per year, or $27,970 above Oregon. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 520 in Oregon. The location quotient is 0.36.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators jobs
New York has the largest published state job estimate for Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators in this same-source set, at 4,530 jobs. Oregon has 520. 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. New York has 4,530 estimated Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators jobs, a gap of 4,010 jobs from Oregon. Its median is $62,760 per year, or $550 below Oregon. Its location quotient is 1.74.
2. Texas has 3,940 estimated Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators jobs, a gap of 3,420 jobs from Oregon. Its median is $47,060 per year, or $16,250 below Oregon. Its location quotient is 1.04.
Local-share leaders
Where Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators takes the largest share of local jobs
New Mexico has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.23. Oregon has 0.98. 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 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping 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. New Mexico has a location quotient of 4.23, a gap of 3.25 from Oregon. BLS lists 990 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators jobs and a median of $45,880 per year, or $17,430 below Oregon.
2. Wyoming has a location quotient of 2.08, a gap of 1.10 from Oregon. BLS lists 160 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators jobs and a median of $58,080 per year, or $5,230 below Oregon.
3. Missouri has a location quotient of 1.98, a gap of 1.00 from Oregon. BLS lists 1,560 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators jobs and a median of $69,400 per year, or $6,090 above Oregon.
Job scale and share
How common Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators is in Oregon
BLS lists 520 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators jobs in Oregon. It also lists 0.26 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 0.98. A value of 1 means Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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.
Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators beside other roles in Oregon
The all-occupations median in Oregon is $57,000 per year. The Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median is $63,310 per year. Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators is 11.1% 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 Oregon. 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 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping 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. Carpenters, SOC 47-2031, has a Oregon median of $62,870 per year. BLS lists 15,110 jobs and a location quotient of 1.78.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Oregon median of $61,980 per year. BLS lists 23,970 jobs and a location quotient of 0.92.
3. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Oregon median of $54,350 per year. BLS lists 16,160 jobs and a location quotient of 0.83.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Oregon
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Oregon table, at 59,920 jobs. Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators has 520 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 1,967,130. 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 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 59,920 jobs in Oregon, a gap of 59,400 from Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. Its median is $35,050 per year, or $28,260 below Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. Its location quotient is 1.23.
2. Retail Salespersons has 48,090 jobs in Oregon, a gap of 47,570 from Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. Its median is $36,770 per year, or $26,540 below Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. Its location quotient is 0.98.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Oregon
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Oregon role table, at $142,720 per year. Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators has $63,310 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $57,000 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. Software Developers has a median of $142,720 per year in Oregon, or $79,410 above Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. BLS lists 21,830 jobs, compared with 520 for Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $129,010 per year in Oregon, or $65,700 above Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. BLS lists 39,730 jobs, compared with 520 for Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. Its location quotient is 0.93.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Oregon
Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Oregon role table, at 29.99. Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators has 0.98. 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 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has a location quotient of 29.99 in Oregon, a gap of 29.01 from Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. BLS lists 22,930 jobs and a median of $41,600 per year, or $21,710 below Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators.
2. Carpenters has a location quotient of 1.78 in Oregon, a gap of 0.80 from Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. BLS lists 15,110 jobs and a median of $62,870 per year, or $440 below Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators.
Price-level view
What $63,310 may mean after the Oregon price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Oregon is 103.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.4% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $63,310 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators median by 103.4 divided by 100. The result is $61,251 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 108.6. Goods are 105.3. Utilities are 107.0. Other services are 100.3. 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 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators row is 13.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.4%. 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 520 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $69,920 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 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators. It uses a Oregon 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $63,310 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 Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators row for Oregon 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 520 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.98 is not a growth score. Rank 12 of 51 is not a place score. The 103.4 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-2071 in BLS area 41. 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 520 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.
