Kansas nonmetropolitan area was 7.8% below the U.S. median for Pipelayers. It ranked 15 of 35 nonmetro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Pipelayers median says in Kansas nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Pipelayers median in Kansas nonmetropolitan area at $45,160 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 47-2151 and BLS area 2000006.
BLS lists 120 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 $48,140 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Kansas nonmetropolitan area's Pipelayers median is 7.8% below the U.S. Pipelayers median of $49,000 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 47-2151 and area 2000006. SOC 47-2151 names Pipelayers. Area 2000006 names Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2151/2000006 row reports 120 wage and salary jobs, 0.31 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.48 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2151/2000006, the annual median is $45,160 per year, while the matching mean is $48,140 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
47-2151/2000006 10th percentile: $45,150 per year.
47-2151/2000006 25th percentile: $45,160 per year.
47-2151/2000006 median: $45,160 per year.
47-2151/2000006 75th percentile: $48,120 per year.
47-2151/2000006 90th percentile: $53,920 per year.
BLS area 2000006 facts behind this Pipelayers page
Area 2000006 reports 374,010 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $51,920. Its annual median is $44,710. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2151 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Kansas nonmetropolitan area runs from $27,140 at the 10th percentile to $82,500 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $33,200. The median is $44,710. The 75th percentile is $59,840. This is a place check, not a pay range for Pipelayers.
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 2000006. They do not show related skills or a path into Pipelayers.
1. Area 2000006, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 12,330 jobs, $26,220 annual median, 32.96 jobs per 1,000, and 1.33 location quotient.
2. Area 2000006, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 10,650 jobs, $28,370 annual median, 28.48 jobs per 1,000, and 1.43 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Kansas nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Pipelayers
The 10th percentile is $45,150 per year. The 25th percentile is $45,160 per year. The median is $45,160 per year. The 75th percentile is $48,120 per year. The 90th percentile is $53,920 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 $45,160 per year to $48,120 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $8,770. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Kansas nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Kansas nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $45,160 per year. Kansas has $47,390 per year. The U.S. row has $49,000 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Kansas nonmetropolitan area is 4.7% below Kansas on the same published median. Kansas nonmetropolitan area is 7.8% 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 Kansas nonmetropolitan area sits for Pipelayers
Kansas nonmetropolitan area ranks 15 of 35 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Pipelayers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 15 of 35 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.
12. South Florida nonmetropolitan area has a Pipelayers median of $47,260 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.98.
13. Eastern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area has a Pipelayers median of $46,480 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
14. North Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has a Pipelayers median of $46,290 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.78.
16. Southwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area has a Pipelayers median of $45,050 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.98.
Pay leaders
Where Pipelayers medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2151, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Western Washington nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $94,990 per year. Kansas nonmetropolitan area sits at $45,160 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Pipelayers 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. Western Washington nonmetropolitan area has a Pipelayers median of $94,990 per year, or $49,830 above Kansas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 50 jobs there, compared with 120 in Kansas nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.76.
2. Northeastern Wisconsin nonmetropolitan area has a Pipelayers median of $80,990 per year, or $35,830 above Kansas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 30 jobs there, compared with 120 in Kansas nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.75.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Pipelayers jobs
Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Pipelayers in this same-source set, at 280 jobs. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 120. 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. Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 280 estimated Pipelayers jobs, a gap of 160 jobs from Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $43,060 per year, or $2,100 below Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 5.
2. Central North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 260 estimated Pipelayers jobs, a gap of 140 jobs from Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $41,860 per year, or $3,300 below Kansas nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 5.1.
Local-share leaders
Where Pipelayers takes the largest share of local jobs
Northwest Nebraska nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 5.94. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 1.48. 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 Pipelayers 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. Northwest Nebraska nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 5.94, a gap of 4.46 from Kansas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 50 Pipelayers jobs and a median of $37,700 per year, or $7,460 below Kansas nonmetropolitan area.
2. Central North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 5.1, a gap of 3.62 from Kansas nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 260 Pipelayers jobs and a median of $41,860 per year, or $3,300 below Kansas nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Pipelayers is in Kansas nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 120 Pipelayers jobs in Kansas nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.31 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 1.48. A value of 1 means Pipelayers 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.
Pipelayers beside other roles in Kansas nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Kansas nonmetropolitan area is $44,710 per year. The Pipelayers median is $45,160 per year. Pipelayers is 1.0% 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 Kansas 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 Pipelayers. 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. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Kansas nonmetropolitan area median of $45,240 per year. BLS lists 3,710 jobs and a location quotient of 1.01.
2. Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders, SOC 51-9111, has a Kansas nonmetropolitan area median of $44,890 per year. BLS lists 4,090 jobs and a location quotient of 4.49.
3. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Kansas nonmetropolitan area median of $44,660 per year. BLS lists 4,420 jobs and a location quotient of 1.34.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Kansas nonmetropolitan area
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Kansas nonmetropolitan area table, at 12,330 jobs. Pipelayers has 120 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 374,010. 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 Pipelayers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 12,330 jobs in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 12,210 from Pipelayers. Its median is $26,220 per year, or $18,940 below Pipelayers. Its location quotient is 1.33.
2. Cashiers has 10,650 jobs in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 10,530 from Pipelayers. Its median is $28,370 per year, or $16,790 below Pipelayers. Its location quotient is 1.43.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Kansas nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Kansas nonmetropolitan area role table, at $81,790 per year. Pipelayers has $45,160 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $44,710 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 $81,790 per year in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, or $36,630 above Pipelayers. BLS lists 5,550 jobs, compared with 120 for Pipelayers. Its location quotient is 0.66.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $78,730 per year in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, or $33,570 above Pipelayers. BLS lists 7,630 jobs, compared with 120 for Pipelayers. Its location quotient is 0.94.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a median of $71,150 per year in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, or $25,990 above Pipelayers. BLS lists 3,260 jobs, compared with 120 for Pipelayers. Its location quotient is 2.01.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Kansas nonmetropolitan area
Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Kansas nonmetropolitan area role table, at 12.99. Pipelayers has 1.48. 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 Pipelayers 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 12.99 in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 11.51 from Pipelayers. BLS lists 4,550 jobs and a median of $48,080 per year, or $2,920 above Pipelayers.
2. Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has a location quotient of 4.49 in Kansas nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3.01 from Pipelayers. BLS lists 4,090 jobs and a median of $44,890 per year, or $270 below Pipelayers.
Price-level view
What $45,160 may mean after the Kansas nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Kansas nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $45,160 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 Pipelayers 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.
How much care to use with the Kansas nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Pipelayers row is 33.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 7.4%. 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 120 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $48,140 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 Kansas nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Pipelayers. It uses a Kansas 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 $45,160 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.
What the Pipelayers row for Kansas 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 120 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.48 is not a growth score. Rank 15 of 35 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 47-2151 in BLS area 2000006. 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 120 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.
