WageScope divides the published Pharmacists median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 29-1051 and BLS area 16580.

Champaign-Urbana, IL was 1.2% below the U.S. median for Pharmacists. It ranked 198 of 391 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Pharmacists median says in Champaign-Urbana, IL
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Pharmacists median in Champaign-Urbana, IL at $139,270 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 29-1051 and BLS area 16580.
BLS lists 220 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 $137,790 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Champaign-Urbana, IL's Pharmacists median is 1.2% below the U.S. Pharmacists median of $140,910 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 29-1051 and area 16580. SOC 29-1051 names Pharmacists. Area 16580 names Champaign-Urbana, IL. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-1051/16580 row reports 220 wage and salary jobs, 2.08 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.01 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-1051/16580, the annual median is $139,270 per year, while the matching mean is $137,790 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 16580 reports 105,500 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $68,290. Its annual median is $50,700. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-1051 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Champaign-Urbana, IL runs from $31,290 at the 10th percentile to $112,850 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,860. The median is $50,700. The 75th percentile is $79,130. This is a place check, not a pay range for Pharmacists.
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 16580. They do not show related skills or a path into Pharmacists.
1. Area 16580, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 3,520 jobs, $90,230 annual median, 33.38 jobs per 1,000, and 1.54 location quotient.
2. Area 16580, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 2,890 jobs, $31,300 annual median, 27.37 jobs per 1,000, and 1.1 location quotient.
3. Area 16580, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 2,500 jobs, $32,130 annual median, 23.71 jobs per 1,000, and 1.19 location quotient.
4. Area 16580, SOC 25-9044, Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary: 2,480 jobs, $50,110 annual median, 23.54 jobs per 1,000, and 22.3 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Champaign-Urbana, IL wage ladder for Pharmacists
The 10th percentile is $90,200 per year. The 25th percentile is $130,520 per year. The median is $139,270 per year. The 75th percentile is $159,010 per year. The 90th percentile is $174,930 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 $130,520 per year to $159,010 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $84,730. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Champaign-Urbana, IL with its state and the U.S.
Champaign-Urbana, IL has a annual median of $139,270 per year. Illinois has $139,080 per year. The U.S. row has $140,910 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Champaign-Urbana, IL is 0.1% above Illinois on the same published median. Champaign-Urbana, IL is 1.2% 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.
Champaign-Urbana, IL ranks 198 of 391 among metro areas with a published annual median for Pharmacists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 198 of 391 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.
195. Youngstown-Warren, OH has a Pharmacists median of $139,410 per year, 360 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.09.
196. Wichita Falls, TX has a Pharmacists median of $139,400 per year, 110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.97.
197. Kenosha, WI has a Pharmacists median of $139,350 per year, 140 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.9.
199. Goldsboro, NC has a Pharmacists median of $139,210 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.24.
Pay leaders
Where Pharmacists medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 29-1051, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Napa, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $200,580 per year. Champaign-Urbana, IL sits at $139,270 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Pharmacists 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. Napa, CA has a Pharmacists median of $200,580 per year, or $61,310 above Champaign-Urbana, IL. BLS lists 180 jobs there, compared with 220 in Champaign-Urbana, IL. The location quotient is 1.14.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Pharmacists median of $199,040 per year, or $59,770 above Champaign-Urbana, IL. BLS lists 1,960 jobs there, compared with 220 in Champaign-Urbana, IL. The location quotient is 0.83.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Pharmacists jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Pharmacists in this same-source set, at 20,000 jobs. Champaign-Urbana, IL has 220. 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-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 20,000 estimated Pharmacists jobs, a gap of 19,780 jobs from Champaign-Urbana, IL. Its median is $141,320 per year, or $2,050 above Champaign-Urbana, IL. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 12,450 estimated Pharmacists jobs, a gap of 12,230 jobs from Champaign-Urbana, IL. Its median is $157,440 per year, or $18,170 above Champaign-Urbana, IL. Its location quotient is 0.96.
Local-share leaders
Where Pharmacists takes the largest share of local jobs
Iowa City, IA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 2.34. Champaign-Urbana, IL has 1.01. 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 Pharmacists 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. Iowa City, IA has a location quotient of 2.34, a gap of 1.33 from Champaign-Urbana, IL. BLS lists 450 Pharmacists jobs and a median of $142,530 per year, or $3,260 above Champaign-Urbana, IL.
2. Morgantown, WV has a location quotient of 2.15, a gap of 1.14 from Champaign-Urbana, IL. BLS lists 300 Pharmacists jobs and a median of $130,710 per year, or $8,560 below Champaign-Urbana, IL.
3. Sioux Falls, SD-MN has a location quotient of 1.85, a gap of 0.84 from Champaign-Urbana, IL. BLS lists 690 Pharmacists jobs and a median of $148,330 per year, or $9,060 above Champaign-Urbana, IL.
Job scale and share
How common Pharmacists is in Champaign-Urbana, IL
BLS lists 220 Pharmacists jobs in Champaign-Urbana, IL. It also lists 2.08 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 1.01. A value of 1 means Pharmacists 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.
Pharmacists beside other roles in Champaign-Urbana, IL
The all-occupations median in Champaign-Urbana, IL is $50,700 per year. The Pharmacists median is $139,270 per year. Pharmacists is 174.7% 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 Champaign-Urbana, IL. 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 Pharmacists. 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. Financial Managers, SOC 11-3031, has a Champaign-Urbana, IL median of $127,680 per year. BLS lists 660 jobs and a location quotient of 1.16.
2. Software Developers, SOC 15-1252, has a Champaign-Urbana, IL median of $106,080 per year. BLS lists 670 jobs and a location quotient of 0.58.
3. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Champaign-Urbana, IL median of $96,610 per year. BLS lists 2,260 jobs and a location quotient of 0.95.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Champaign-Urbana, IL
Registered Nurses is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Champaign-Urbana, IL table, at 3,520 jobs. Pharmacists has 220 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 105,500. 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 Pharmacists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Registered Nurses has 3,520 jobs in Champaign-Urbana, IL, a gap of 3,300 from Pharmacists. Its median is $90,230 per year, or $49,040 below Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 1.54.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 2,890 jobs in Champaign-Urbana, IL, a gap of 2,670 from Pharmacists. Its median is $31,300 per year, or $107,970 below Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 1.1.
3. Cashiers has 2,500 jobs in Champaign-Urbana, IL, a gap of 2,280 from Pharmacists. Its median is $32,130 per year, or $107,140 below Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 1.19.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Champaign-Urbana, IL
Financial Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Champaign-Urbana, IL role table, at $127,680 per year. Pharmacists has $139,270 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $50,700 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. Financial Managers has a median of $127,680 per year in Champaign-Urbana, IL, or $11,590 below Pharmacists. BLS lists 660 jobs, compared with 220 for Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 1.16.
2. Software Developers has a median of $106,080 per year in Champaign-Urbana, IL, or $33,190 below Pharmacists. BLS lists 670 jobs, compared with 220 for Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 0.58.
3. General and Operations Managers has a median of $96,610 per year in Champaign-Urbana, IL, or $42,660 below Pharmacists. BLS lists 2,260 jobs, compared with 220 for Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 0.95.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Champaign-Urbana, IL
Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary has the highest location quotient in the bounded Champaign-Urbana, IL role table, at 22.3. Pharmacists has 1.01. 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 Pharmacists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary has a location quotient of 22.3 in Champaign-Urbana, IL, a gap of 21.29 from Pharmacists. BLS lists 2,480 jobs and a median of $50,110 per year, or $89,160 below Pharmacists.
2. Bartenders has a location quotient of 2.09 in Champaign-Urbana, IL, a gap of 1.08 from Pharmacists. BLS lists 1,070 jobs and a median of $31,200 per year, or $108,070 below Pharmacists.
3. Nursing Assistants has a location quotient of 1.58 in Champaign-Urbana, IL, a gap of 0.57 from Pharmacists. BLS lists 1,560 jobs and a median of $39,890 per year, or $99,380 below Pharmacists.
Price-level view
What $139,270 may mean after the Champaign-Urbana, IL price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Champaign-Urbana, IL is 92.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $139,270 Pharmacists median by 92.7 divided by 100. The result is $150,231 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 71.6. Goods are 93.6. Utilities are 90.5. Other services are 99.6. 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 Champaign-Urbana, IL row
The employment RSE for this Pharmacists row is 3.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. 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 220 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $137,790 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 Champaign-Urbana, IL wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Pharmacists. It uses a Champaign-Urbana, IL 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 $139,270 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 Pharmacists row for Champaign-Urbana, IL 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 220 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.01 is not a growth score. Rank 198 of 391 is not a place score. The 92.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 29-1051 in BLS area 16580. 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 220 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.
