Grand Island, NE was 15.5% below the U.S. median for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. It ranked 96 of 115 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median says in Grand Island, NE
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median in Grand Island, NE at $39,160 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 37-3012 and BLS area 24260.
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 $39,900 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Grand Island, NE's Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median is 15.5% below the U.S. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $46,340 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 37-3012 with area 24260
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 37-3012 and area 24260. SOC 37-3012 names Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Area 24260 names Grand Island, NE. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 37-3012/24260 row reports 40 wage and salary jobs, 0.91 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 5.21 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 37-3012/24260, the annual median is $39,160 per year, while the matching mean is $39,900 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
37-3012/24260 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 24260 facts behind this Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation page

The all-jobs wage ladder in Grand Island, NE runs from $29,520 at the 10th percentile to $86,360 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,830. The median is $49,410. The 75th percentile is $63,430. This is a place check, not a pay range for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation.
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 24260. They do not show related skills or a path into Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation.
1. Area 24260, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 1,250 jobs, $29,150 annual median, 31.54 jobs per 1,000, and 1.27 location quotient.

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 $30,670 per year to $39,160 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $24,680. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Grand Island, NE with its state and the U.S.
Grand Island, NE has a annual median of $39,160 per year. Nebraska has $47,500 per year. The U.S. row has $46,340 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Grand Island, NE is 17.6% below Nebraska on the same published median. Grand Island, NE is 15.5% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Grand Island, NE sits for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation
Grand Island, NE ranks 96 of 115 among metro areas with a published annual median for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 96 of 115 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.
93. Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $39,440 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.63.
94. Jonesboro, AR has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $39,280 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.47.
95. Rapid City, SD has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $39,280 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.08.
Pay leaders
Where Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 37-3012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH has the highest published median in this set, at $62,990 per year. Grand Island, NE sits at $39,160 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation 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. Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $62,990 per year, or $23,830 above Grand Island, NE. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with 40 in Grand Island, NE. The location quotient is Not published.
2. Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $58,550 per year, or $19,390 above Grand Island, NE. BLS lists 100 jobs there, compared with 40 in Grand Island, NE. The location quotient is 0.47.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has the largest published metro job estimate for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation in this same-source set, at 870 jobs. Grand Island, NE 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. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has 870 estimated Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs, a gap of 830 jobs from Grand Island, NE. Its median is $46,210 per year, or $7,050 above Grand Island, NE. Its location quotient is 1.78.
2. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL has 440 estimated Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs, a gap of 400 jobs from Grand Island, NE. Its median is $41,390 per year, or $2,230 above Grand Island, NE. Its location quotient is 1.76.
Local-share leaders
Where Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation takes the largest share of local jobs
Billings, MT has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 6.95. Grand Island, NE has 5.21. 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 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation 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. Billings, MT has a location quotient of 6.95, a gap of 1.74 from Grand Island, NE. BLS lists 110 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs and a median of $36,630 per year, or $2,530 below Grand Island, NE.
2. Salinas, CA has a location quotient of 6.74, a gap of 1.53 from Grand Island, NE. BLS lists 220 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs and a median of $41,540 per year, or $2,380 above Grand Island, NE.
3. Bozeman, MT has a location quotient of 6.49, a gap of 1.28 from Grand Island, NE. BLS lists 80 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs and a median of $42,180 per year, or $3,020 above Grand Island, NE.
Job scale and share
How common Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation is in Grand Island, NE
BLS lists 40 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs in Grand Island, NE. It also lists 0.91 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 5.21. A value of 1 means Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation 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.
Local job mix
Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation beside other roles in Grand Island, NE
The all-occupations median in Grand Island, NE is $49,410 per year. The Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median is $39,160 per year. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation is 20.7% below 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 Grand Island, NE. 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 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. 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. Nursing Assistants, SOC 31-1131, has a Grand Island, NE median of $38,880 per year. BLS lists 590 jobs and a location quotient of 1.6.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers, SOC 35-1012, has a Grand Island, NE median of $38,480 per year. BLS lists 330 jobs and a location quotient of 1.07.
3. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Grand Island, NE median of $37,330 per year. BLS lists 410 jobs and a location quotient of 0.72.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Grand Island, NE
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Grand Island, NE table, at 1,250 jobs. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation 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 39,520. 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 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 1,250 jobs in Grand Island, NE, a gap of 1,210 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its median is $29,150 per year, or $10,010 below Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 1.27.
2. Retail Salespersons has 1,070 jobs in Grand Island, NE, a gap of 1,030 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its median is $30,830 per year, or $8,330 below Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Grand Island, NE
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Grand Island, NE role table, at $82,590 per year. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation has $39,160 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,410 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $82,590 per year in Grand Island, NE, or $43,430 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 830 jobs, compared with 40 for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 0.97.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $79,520 per year in Grand Island, NE, or $40,360 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 870 jobs, compared with 40 for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 0.97.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Grand Island, NE
Cleaners of Vehicles and Equipment has the highest location quotient in the bounded Grand Island, NE role table, at 4.76. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation has 5.21. 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 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cleaners of Vehicles and Equipment has a location quotient of 4.76 in Grand Island, NE, a gap of 0.45 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 460 jobs and a median of $50,320 per year, or $11,160 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation.
2. Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has a location quotient of 4.3 in Grand Island, NE, a gap of 0.91 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 410 jobs and a median of $48,510 per year, or $9,350 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation.
Price-level view
What $39,160 may mean after the Grand Island, NE price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Grand Island, NE is 86.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 13.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $39,160 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median by 86.7 divided by 100. The result is $45,190 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 61.7. Goods are 94.1. Utilities are 74.2. Other services are 93.0. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Grand Island, NE row
The employment RSE for this Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation row is 28.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 6.9%. 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 40 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $39,900 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Grand Island, NE wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. It uses a Grand Island, NE 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 $39,160 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.
Limits
What the Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation row for Grand Island, NE 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 5.21 is not a growth score. Rank 96 of 115 is not a place score. The 86.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 37-3012 in BLS area 24260. 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.
