Where Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX sits for Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other

Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX ranks 7 of 136 among metro areas with a published annual median for Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 7 of 136 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.

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.

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 Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other 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.

BLS lists 170 Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other jobs in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. It also lists 0.13 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 0.34. A value of 1 means Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other 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.

Roles with the largest local share in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX

Computer Occupations, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX role table, at 2.79. Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has 0.34. 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 Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $46,930 may mean after the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX is 98.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $46,930 Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other median by 98.1 divided by 100. The result is $47,856 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 120.4. Goods are 93.8. Utilities are 82.0. Other services are 96.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.

How much care to use with the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX row

The employment RSE for this Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other row is 29.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 10.9%. 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 170 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $45,970 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 Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other. It uses a Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX 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 $46,930 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 Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other row for Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX 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 170 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.34 is not a growth score. Rank 7 of 136 is not a place score. The 98.1 price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 39-9099 in BLS area 12420. 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.
