Pharmacists pay in Ponce, PR: common questions
What is the median wage for Pharmacists in Ponce, PR?

Ponce, PR's published median was 24.1% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Ponce, PR?

Ponce, PR was 24.1% below the U.S. median for Pharmacists. It ranked 389 of 391 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Pharmacists median in Ponce, PR at $107,010 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 38660.
BLS lists 150 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 $100,370 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Ponce, PR's Pharmacists median is 24.1% 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 38660. SOC 29-1051 names Pharmacists. Area 38660 names Ponce, PR. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-1051/38660 row reports 150 wage and salary jobs, 2.43 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.18 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-1051/38660, the annual median is $107,010 per year, while the matching mean is $100,370 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 38660 reports 63,500 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $35,310. Its annual median is $26,940. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-1051 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Ponce, PR runs from $21,840 at the 10th percentile to $60,330 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $21,910. The median is $26,940. The 75th percentile is $37,850. 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 38660. They do not show related skills or a path into Pharmacists.
1. Area 38660, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 3,580 jobs, $22,030 annual median, 56.34 jobs per 1,000, and 2.25 location quotient.
2. Area 38660, SOC 37-2011, Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners: 2,940 jobs, $21,840 annual median, 46.26 jobs per 1,000, and 3.26 location quotient.
3. Area 38660, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 2,320 jobs, $21,840 annual median, 36.55 jobs per 1,000, and 1.84 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Ponce, PR wage ladder for Pharmacists
The 10th percentile is $55,010 per year. The 25th percentile is $69,810 per year. The median is $107,010 per year. The 75th percentile is $121,400 per year. The 90th percentile is $132,420 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 $69,810 per year to $121,400 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $77,410. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Ponce, PR has a annual median of $107,010 per year. Puerto Rico has $111,270 per year. The U.S. row has $140,910 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Ponce, PR is 3.8% below Puerto Rico on the same published median. Ponce, PR is 24.1% 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.
Ponce, PR ranks 389 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 389 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.
386. Guayama, PR has a Pharmacists median of $117,950 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.69.
387. San Juan-Bayamon-Caguas, PR has a Pharmacists median of $113,420 per year, 1,480 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.03.
388. Mayaguez, PR has a Pharmacists median of $111,950 per year, 140 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.32.
390. Arecibo, PR has a Pharmacists median of $105,880 per year, 130 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.82.
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. Ponce, PR sits at $107,010 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 $93,570 above Ponce, PR. BLS lists 180 jobs there, compared with 150 in Ponce, PR. The location quotient is 1.14.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Pharmacists median of $199,040 per year, or $92,030 above Ponce, PR. BLS lists 1,960 jobs there, compared with 150 in Ponce, PR. The location quotient is 0.83.
3. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Pharmacists median of $177,410 per year, or $70,400 above Ponce, PR. BLS lists 3,670 jobs there, compared with 150 in Ponce, PR. The location quotient is 0.75.
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. Ponce, PR has 150. 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 19,850 jobs from Ponce, PR. Its median is $141,320 per year, or $34,310 above Ponce, PR. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 12,450 estimated Pharmacists jobs, a gap of 12,300 jobs from Ponce, PR. Its median is $157,440 per year, or $50,430 above Ponce, PR. 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. Ponce, PR has 1.18. 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 1.16 from Ponce, PR. BLS lists 450 Pharmacists jobs and a median of $142,530 per year, or $35,520 above Ponce, PR.
2. Morgantown, WV has a location quotient of 2.15, a gap of 0.97 from Ponce, PR. BLS lists 300 Pharmacists jobs and a median of $130,710 per year, or $23,700 above Ponce, PR.
3. Sioux Falls, SD-MN has a location quotient of 1.85, a gap of 0.67 from Ponce, PR. BLS lists 690 Pharmacists jobs and a median of $148,330 per year, or $41,320 above Ponce, PR.
Job scale and share
How common Pharmacists is in Ponce, PR
BLS lists 150 Pharmacists jobs in Ponce, PR. It also lists 2.43 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 1.18. A value of 1 means Pharmacists 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.
The all-occupations median in Ponce, PR is $26,940 per year. The Pharmacists median is $107,010 per year. Pharmacists is 297.2% 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 Ponce, PR. 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. Kindergarten Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2012, has a Ponce, PR median of $62,860 per year. BLS lists 530 jobs and a location quotient of 11.85.
2. Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education, SOC 25-2031, has a Ponce, PR median of $60,320 per year. BLS lists 560 jobs and a location quotient of 1.28.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a Ponce, PR median of $38,840 per year. BLS lists 880 jobs and a location quotient of 1.5.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Ponce, PR
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Ponce, PR table, at 3,580 jobs. Pharmacists has 150 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 63,500. 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. Retail Salespersons has 3,580 jobs in Ponce, PR, a gap of 3,430 from Pharmacists. Its median is $22,030 per year, or $84,980 below Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 2.25.
2. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has 2,940 jobs in Ponce, PR, a gap of 2,790 from Pharmacists. Its median is $21,840 per year, or $85,170 below Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 3.26.
3. Cashiers has 2,320 jobs in Ponce, PR, a gap of 2,170 from Pharmacists. Its median is $21,840 per year, or $85,170 below Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 1.84.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Ponce, PR
Kindergarten Teachers, Except Special Education has the highest published median in the bounded Ponce, PR role table, at $62,860 per year. Pharmacists has $107,010 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $26,940 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. Kindergarten Teachers, Except Special Education has a median of $62,860 per year in Ponce, PR, or $44,150 below Pharmacists. BLS lists 530 jobs, compared with 150 for Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 11.85.
2. Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education has a median of $60,320 per year in Ponce, PR, or $46,690 below Pharmacists. BLS lists 560 jobs, compared with 150 for Pharmacists. Its location quotient is 1.28.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Ponce, PR
Kindergarten Teachers, Except Special Education has the highest location quotient in the bounded Ponce, PR role table, at 11.85. Pharmacists has 1.18. 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. Kindergarten Teachers, Except Special Education has a location quotient of 11.85 in Ponce, PR, a gap of 10.67 from Pharmacists. BLS lists 530 jobs and a median of $62,860 per year, or $44,150 below Pharmacists.
2. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a location quotient of 3.88 in Ponce, PR, a gap of 2.70 from Pharmacists. BLS lists 700 jobs and a median of $36,440 per year, or $70,570 below Pharmacists.
3. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria has a location quotient of 3.55 in Ponce, PR, a gap of 2.37 from Pharmacists. BLS lists 640 jobs and a median of $28,540 per year, or $78,470 below Pharmacists.
Price-level view
What $107,010 may mean after the Ponce, PR price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Ponce, PR. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $107,010 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 Pharmacists with the U.S. or with like metro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
The employment RSE for this Pharmacists row is 3.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.3%. 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 150 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $100,370 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 Pharmacists. It uses a Ponce, PR 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $107,010 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 Ponce, PR 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 150 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.18 is not a growth score. Rank 389 of 391 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 29-1051 in BLS area 38660. 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.
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.
