What the Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median says in Maine
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median in Maine at $40,200 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 23.
BLS lists 60 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 $41,450 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Maine's Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median is 13.2% 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.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 37-3012 and area 23. SOC 37-3012 names Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Area 23 names Maine. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 37-3012/23 row reports 60 wage and salary jobs, 0.1 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.57 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 37-3012/23, the annual median is $40,200 per year, while the matching mean is $41,450 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 23 facts behind this Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation page
Area 23 reports 640,610 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $65,780. Its annual median is $51,430. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 37-3012 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Maine runs from $35,140 at the 10th percentile to $105,510 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $40,120. The median is $51,430. The 75th percentile is $76,230. 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 23. They do not show related skills or a path into Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation.
1. Area 23, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 18,630 jobs, $38,580 annual median, 29.08 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
2. Area 23, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 18,450 jobs, $36,640 annual median, 28.8 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
3. Area 23, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 17,250 jobs, $34,710 annual median, 26.93 jobs per 1,000, and 1.09 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Maine wage ladder for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation
The 10th percentile is $37,440 per year. The 25th percentile is $37,800 per year. The median is $40,200 per year. The 75th percentile is $40,210 per year. The 90th percentile is $51,810 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 $37,800 per year to $40,210 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $14,370. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Maine has a annual median of $40,200 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $46,340 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Maine. Maine is 13.2% 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 Maine sits for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation
Maine ranks 35 of 44 among states and territories 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 35 of 44 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.
32. Maryland has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $44,440 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
33. New Jersey has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $44,330 per year, 320 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.42.
34. Alabama has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $43,440 per year, 320 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.88.
Pay leaders
Where Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 37-3012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Massachusetts has the highest published median in this set, at $62,980 per year. Maine sits at $40,200 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. Massachusetts has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $62,980 per year, or $22,780 above Maine. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with 60 in Maine. The location quotient is Not published.
2. Delaware has a Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median of $54,190 per year, or $13,990 above Maine. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 60 in Maine. The location quotient is 0.43.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs
Florida has the largest published state job estimate for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation in this same-source set, at 4,530 jobs. Maine has 60. 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. Florida has 4,530 estimated Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs, a gap of 4,470 jobs from Maine. Its median is $45,210 per year, or $5,010 above Maine. Its location quotient is 2.62.
2. California has 2,260 estimated Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs, a gap of 2,200 jobs from Maine. Its median is $45,070 per year, or $4,870 above Maine. Its location quotient is 0.71.
Local-share leaders
Where Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation takes the largest share of local jobs
Montana has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 7.08. Maine has 0.57. 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. Montana has a location quotient of 7.08, a gap of 6.51 from Maine. BLS lists 630 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs and a median of $37,760 per year, or $2,440 below Maine.
2. South Dakota has a location quotient of 5.75, a gap of 5.18 from Maine. BLS lists 460 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs and a median of $46,320 per year, or $6,120 above Maine.
3. Idaho has a location quotient of 4.09, a gap of 3.52 from Maine. BLS lists 610 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs and a median of $47,630 per year, or $7,430 above Maine.
Job scale and share
How common Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation is in Maine
BLS lists 60 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation jobs in Maine. It also lists 0.1 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 0.57. 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 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.
Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation beside other roles in Maine
The all-occupations median in Maine is $51,430 per year. The Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median is $40,200 per year. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation is 21.8% 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 Maine. 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. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Maine median of $38,940 per year. BLS lists 9,180 jobs and a location quotient of 1.01.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a Maine median of $38,580 per year. BLS lists 18,630 jobs and a location quotient of 1.05.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Maine
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Maine table, at 18,630 jobs. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation has 60 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 640,610. 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. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 18,630 jobs in Maine, a gap of 18,570 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its median is $38,580 per year, or $1,620 below Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 1.05.
2. Retail Salespersons has 18,450 jobs in Maine, a gap of 18,390 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its median is $36,640 per year, or $3,560 below Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 1.15.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Maine
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Maine role table, at $98,860 per year. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation has $40,200 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,430 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 $98,860 per year in Maine, or $58,660 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 14,770 jobs, compared with 60 for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $86,990 per year in Maine, or $46,790 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 16,540 jobs, compared with 60 for Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. Its location quotient is 1.19.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Maine
Social and Human Service Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded Maine role table, at 2.54. Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation has 0.57. 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. Social and Human Service Assistants has a location quotient of 2.54 in Maine, a gap of 1.97 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 4,580 jobs and a median of $47,710 per year, or $7,510 above Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation.
2. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 2.33 in Maine, a gap of 1.76 from Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. BLS lists 4,990 jobs and a median of $36,350 per year, or $3,850 below Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation.
Price-level view
What $40,200 may mean after the Maine price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Maine is 97.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $40,200 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation median by 97.0 divided by 100. The result is $41,422 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 78.9. Goods are 97.2. Utilities are 135.2. Other services are 103.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation row is 26.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.7%. 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 60 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $41,450 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 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation. It uses a Maine 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 $40,200 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 Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, and Applicators, Vegetation row for Maine 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 60 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.57 is not a growth score. Rank 35 of 44 is not a place score. The 97.0 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 23. 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 60 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.
