What the Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median says in Indiana
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median in Indiana at $38,680 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 51-4193 and BLS area 18.
BLS lists 1,250 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 $43,370 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Indiana's Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is 12.0% below the U.S. Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $43,960 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 51-4193 and area 18. SOC 51-4193 names Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Area 18 names Indiana. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-4193/18 row reports 1,250 wage and salary jobs, 0.39 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.88 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-4193/18, the annual median is $38,680 per year, while the matching mean is $43,370 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 18 facts behind this Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic page
Area 18 reports 3,201,220 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,840. Its annual median is $47,860. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-4193 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Indiana runs from $29,120 at the 10th percentile to $101,160 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,500. The median is $47,860. The 75th percentile is $72,000. This is a place check, not a pay range for Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
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 18. They do not show related skills or a path into Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
1. Area 18, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 103,200 jobs, $41,340 annual median, 32.24 jobs per 1,000, and 1.7 location quotient.
2. Area 18, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 97,290 jobs, $28,790 annual median, 30.39 jobs per 1,000, and 1.23 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Indiana wage ladder for Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic
The 10th percentile is $35,420 per year. The 25th percentile is $38,150 per year. The median is $38,680 per year. The 75th percentile is $48,850 per year. The 90th percentile is $58,350 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 $38,150 per year to $48,850 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $22,930. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Indiana has a annual median of $38,680 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $43,960 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Indiana. Indiana is 12.0% 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 Indiana sits for Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic
Indiana ranks 32 of 40 among states and territories with a published annual median for Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 32 of 40 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.
29. Georgia has a Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $39,160 per year, 660 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.64.
30. Texas has a Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $39,060 per year, 2,090 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.71.
31. Kansas has a Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $38,770 per year, 360 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.21.
Pay leaders
Where Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4193, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Iowa has the highest published median in this set, at $70,910 per year. Indiana sits at $38,680 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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. Iowa has a Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $70,910 per year, or $32,230 above Indiana. BLS lists 440 jobs there, compared with 1,250 in Indiana. The location quotient is 1.36.
2. Washington has a Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median of $58,000 per year, or $19,320 above Indiana. BLS lists 410 jobs there, compared with 1,250 in Indiana. The location quotient is 0.55.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic in this same-source set, at 5,600 jobs. Indiana has 1,250. 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. California has 5,600 estimated Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 4,350 jobs from Indiana. Its median is $46,760 per year, or $8,080 above Indiana. Its location quotient is 1.48.
2. Michigan has 3,330 estimated Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs, a gap of 2,080 jobs from Indiana. Its median is $37,600 per year, or $1,080 below Indiana. Its location quotient is 3.63.
Local-share leaders
Where Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic takes the largest share of local jobs
Rhode Island has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.32. Indiana has 1.88. 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 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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. Rhode Island has a location quotient of 4.32, a gap of 2.44 from Indiana. BLS lists 450 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $38,580 per year, or $100 below Indiana.
2. Michigan has a location quotient of 3.63, a gap of 1.75 from Indiana. BLS lists 3,330 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs and a median of $37,600 per year, or $1,080 below Indiana.
Job scale and share
How common Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is in Indiana
BLS lists 1,250 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic jobs in Indiana. It also lists 0.39 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 1.88. A value of 1 means Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic 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.
Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic beside other roles in Indiana
The all-occupations median in Indiana is $47,860 per year. The Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median is $38,680 per year. Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic is 19.2% 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 Indiana. 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 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. 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. Nursing Assistants, SOC 31-1131, has a Indiana median of $38,330 per year. BLS lists 33,640 jobs and a location quotient of 1.13.
2. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Indiana median of $36,460 per year. BLS lists 49,220 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Indiana
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Indiana table, at 103,200 jobs. Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 1,250 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 3,201,220. 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 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 103,200 jobs in Indiana, a gap of 101,950 from Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its median is $41,340 per year, or $2,660 above Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 1.7.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Indiana
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Indiana role table, at $108,170 per year. Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has $38,680 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,860 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 $108,170 per year in Indiana, or $69,490 above Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 47,180 jobs, compared with 1,250 for Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 0.65.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $83,500 per year in Indiana, or $44,820 above Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 68,980 jobs, compared with 1,250 for Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. Its location quotient is 0.99.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Indiana
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Indiana role table, at 2.96. Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has 1.88. 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 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.96 in Indiana, a gap of 1.08 from Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 85,610 jobs and a median of $45,550 per year, or $6,870 above Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
2. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers has a location quotient of 2.02 in Indiana, a gap of 0.14 from Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. BLS lists 24,790 jobs and a median of $47,900 per year, or $9,220 above Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic.
Price-level view
What $38,680 may mean after the Indiana price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Indiana is 93.3. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 6.7% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $38,680 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic median by 93.3 divided by 100. The result is $41,445 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 73.9. Goods are 95.5. Utilities are 85.5. Other services are 99.1. 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 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row is 7.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.7%. 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 1,250 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $43,370 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 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic. It uses a Indiana 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 $38,680 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 Plating Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic row for Indiana 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 1,250 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.88 is not a growth score. Rank 32 of 40 is not a place score. The 93.3 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-4193 in BLS area 18. 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 1,250 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.
