What the Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median says in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area at $47,060 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 2800008.
BLS lists 90 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 $42,920 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area's Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median is 1.6% above the U.S. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $46,340 on the same published median.

Same-source checks
Compare Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $47,060 per year. Mississippi has $35,770 per year. The U.S. row has $46,340 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area is 31.6% above Mississippi on the same published median. Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area is 1.6% 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 benchmarks, 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 Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area sits for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation
Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area ranks 23 of 55 among nonmetro 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 23 of 55 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.
20. Southeast-Central Idaho nonmetropolitan area. The Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median is $47,390 per year. BLS estimates 100 jobs. The location quotient is 5.7.
21. Northwest Nebraska nonmetropolitan area. The Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median is $47,090 per year. BLS estimates 50 jobs. The location quotient is 7.02.
22. Coast Oregon nonmetropolitan area. The Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median is $47,080 per year. BLS estimates 30 jobs. The location quotient is 1.74.
Pay leaders
Where Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 37-3012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $62,130 per year. Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area sits at $47,060 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Northwestern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $62,130 per year, or $15,070 above Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with 90 in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is Not published.
2. Wasatch Front Fringe Utah nonmetropolitan area has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $60,470 per year, or $13,410 above Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 50 jobs there, compared with 90 in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 3.91.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs
Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation in this same-source set, at 240 jobs. Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area has 90. 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. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 240 estimated Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs, a gap of 150 jobs from Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $49,570 per year, or $2,510 above Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 3.66.
2. East South Dakota nonmetropolitan area has 230 estimated Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs, a gap of 140 jobs from Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $46,390 per year, or $670 below Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 9.86.
Local-share leaders
Where Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation takes the largest share of local jobs
East-Central Montana nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 14.92. Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area has 4.2. 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. East-Central Montana nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 14.92, a gap of 10.72 from Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 160 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs and a median of $44,170 per year, or $2,890 below Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area.
2. East South Dakota nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 9.86, a gap of 5.66 from Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 230 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs and a median of $46,390 per year, or $670 below Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation is in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 90 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.73 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 4.2. 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 Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area is $38,000 per year. The Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median is $47,060 per year. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation is 23.8% 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 Lower East Mississippi 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 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. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses, SOC 29-2061, has a Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area median of $48,100 per year. BLS lists 1,620 jobs and a location quotient of 3.13.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,010 jobs. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation has 90 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 123,590. 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. Cashiers has 4,010 jobs in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,920 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its median is $21,980 per year, or $25,080 below Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 1.63.
2. Retail Salespersons has 3,970 jobs in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,880 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its median is $26,930 per year, or $20,130 below Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 1.28.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area role table, at $103,920 per year. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation has $47,060 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $38,000 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 $103,920 per year in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area, or $56,860 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 1,020 jobs, compared with 90 for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 0.37.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $65,040 per year in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area, or $17,980 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 3,270 jobs, compared with 90 for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 1.22.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area
Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area role table, at 17.33. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation has 4.2. 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. Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has a location quotient of 17.33 in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 13.13 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 2,010 jobs and a median of $39,290 per year, or $7,770 below Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation.
2. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has a location quotient of 3.13 in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.07 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 1,620 jobs and a median of $48,100 per year, or $1,040 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation.
Price-level view
What $47,060 may mean after the Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $47,060 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 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation 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.
Data care
How much care to use with the Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation row is 16.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.7%. 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 90 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $42,920 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. It uses a Lower East Mississippi 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 $47,060 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 Lower East Mississippi 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 90 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 4.2 is not a growth score. Rank 23 of 55 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 37-3012 in BLS area 2800008. 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.
How many Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs does BLS estimate in Lower East Mississippi nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 90 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
