WageScope divides the published Power Plant Operators 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 51-8013 and BLS area 48620.

Wichita, KS was 38.0% below the U.S. median for Power Plant Operators. It ranked 110 of 113 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Power Plant Operators median says in Wichita, KS
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Power Plant Operators median in Wichita, KS at $63,240 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 51-8013 and BLS area 48620.
BLS lists 70 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 $75,570 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Wichita, KS's Power Plant Operators median is 38.0% below the U.S. Power Plant Operators median of $102,040 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 51-8013 and area 48620. SOC 51-8013 names Power Plant Operators. Area 48620 names Wichita, KS. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-8013/48620 row reports 70 wage and salary jobs, 0.24 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.26 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-8013/48620, the annual median is $63,240 per year, while the matching mean is $75,570 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 48620 facts behind this Power Plant Operators page
Area 48620 reports 308,570 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $58,830. Its annual median is $47,630. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-8013 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Wichita, KS runs from $27,860 at the 10th percentile to $99,380 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,160. The median is $47,630. The 75th percentile is $70,740. This is a place check, not a pay range for Power Plant Operators.
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 48620. They do not show related skills or a path into Power Plant Operators.
1. Area 48620, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 11,580 jobs, $27,420 annual median, 37.53 jobs per 1,000, and 1.51 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Wichita, KS wage ladder for Power Plant Operators
The 10th percentile is $47,620 per year. The 25th percentile is $48,320 per year. The median is $63,240 per year. The 75th percentile is $100,560 per year. The 90th percentile is $131,760 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 $48,320 per year to $100,560 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $84,140. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Wichita, KS has a annual median of $63,240 per year. Kansas has $79,980 per year. The U.S. row has $102,040 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Wichita, KS is 20.9% below Kansas on the same published median. Wichita, KS is 38.0% 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.
Wichita, KS ranks 110 of 113 among metro areas with a published annual median for Power Plant Operators. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 110 of 113 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.
107. Green Bay, WI has a Power Plant Operators median of $66,080 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.27.
108. Glens Falls, NY has a Power Plant Operators median of $64,580 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.98.
109. Richmond, VA has a Power Plant Operators median of $63,640 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.51.
111. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has a Power Plant Operators median of $62,080 per year, 380 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.71.
Pay leaders
Where Power Plant Operators medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-8013, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Wenatchee-East Wenatchee, WA has the highest published median in this set, at $145,510 per year. Wichita, KS sits at $63,240 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Power Plant Operators 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. Wenatchee-East Wenatchee, WA has a Power Plant Operators median of $145,510 per year, or $82,270 above Wichita, KS. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 70 in Wichita, KS. The location quotient is 7.65.
2. Fresno, CA has a Power Plant Operators median of $138,930 per year, or $75,690 above Wichita, KS. BLS lists 130 jobs there, compared with 70 in Wichita, KS. The location quotient is 1.47.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Power Plant Operators jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Power Plant Operators in this same-source set, at 1,090 jobs. Wichita, KS has 70. 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 1,090 estimated Power Plant Operators jobs, a gap of 1,020 jobs from Wichita, KS. Its median is $131,770 per year, or $68,530 above Wichita, KS. Its location quotient is 0.61.
2. Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH has 640 estimated Power Plant Operators jobs, a gap of 570 jobs from Wichita, KS. Its median is $103,900 per year, or $40,660 above Wichita, KS. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Local-share leaders
Where Power Plant Operators takes the largest share of local jobs
Duluth, MN-WI has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 9.35. Wichita, KS has 1.26. 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 Power Plant Operators 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. Duluth, MN-WI has a location quotient of 9.35, a gap of 8.09 from Wichita, KS. BLS lists 220 Power Plant Operators jobs and a median of $94,390 per year, or $31,150 above Wichita, KS.
2. Fairbanks-College, AK has a location quotient of 8.87, a gap of 7.61 from Wichita, KS. BLS lists 60 Power Plant Operators jobs and a median of $88,870 per year, or $25,630 above Wichita, KS.
3. Bay City, MI has a location quotient of 8.24, a gap of 6.98 from Wichita, KS. BLS lists 50 Power Plant Operators jobs and a median of $98,930 per year, or $35,690 above Wichita, KS.
Job scale and share
How common Power Plant Operators is in Wichita, KS
BLS lists 70 Power Plant Operators jobs in Wichita, KS. It also lists 0.24 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 1.26. A value of 1 means Power Plant Operators 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.
Power Plant Operators beside other roles in Wichita, KS
The all-occupations median in Wichita, KS is $47,630 per year. The Power Plant Operators median is $63,240 per year. Power Plant Operators is 32.8% 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 Wichita, KS. 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 Power Plant Operators. 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. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers, SOC 51-9061, has a Wichita, KS median of $63,030 per year. BLS lists 3,590 jobs and a location quotient of 3.03.
2. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products, SOC 41-4012, has a Wichita, KS median of $63,750 per year. BLS lists 2,330 jobs and a location quotient of 0.95.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a Wichita, KS median of $62,280 per year. BLS lists 2,390 jobs and a location quotient of 0.84.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Wichita, KS
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Wichita, KS table, at 11,580 jobs. Power Plant Operators has 70 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 308,570. 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 Power Plant Operators's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 11,580 jobs in Wichita, KS, a gap of 11,510 from Power Plant Operators. Its median is $27,420 per year, or $35,820 below Power Plant Operators. Its location quotient is 1.51.
2. Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers has 9,460 jobs in Wichita, KS, a gap of 9,390 from Power Plant Operators. Its median is $59,850 per year, or $3,390 below Power Plant Operators. Its location quotient is 140.11.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Wichita, KS
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Wichita, KS role table, at $85,230 per year. Power Plant Operators has $63,240 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,630 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 $85,230 per year in Wichita, KS, or $21,990 above Power Plant Operators. BLS lists 5,060 jobs, compared with 70 for Power Plant Operators. Its location quotient is 0.73.
2. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a median of $83,540 per year in Wichita, KS, or $20,300 above Power Plant Operators. BLS lists 2,470 jobs, compared with 70 for Power Plant Operators. Its location quotient is 2.83.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Wichita, KS
Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Wichita, KS role table, at 140.11. Power Plant Operators has 1.26. 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 Power Plant Operators with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers has a location quotient of 140.11 in Wichita, KS, a gap of 138.85 from Power Plant Operators. BLS lists 9,460 jobs and a median of $59,850 per year, or $3,390 below Power Plant Operators.
2. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers has a location quotient of 3.03 in Wichita, KS, a gap of 1.77 from Power Plant Operators. BLS lists 3,590 jobs and a median of $63,030 per year, or $210 below Power Plant Operators.
Price-level view
What $63,240 may mean after the Wichita, KS price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Wichita, KS is 88.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $63,240 Power Plant Operators median by 88.9 divided by 100. The result is $71,099 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 66.2. Goods are 94.0. Utilities are 88.5. Other services are 93.8. 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 Power Plant Operators row is 11.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 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 70 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $75,570 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 Power Plant Operators. It uses a Wichita, KS 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 $63,240 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 Power Plant Operators row for Wichita, KS 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 70 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.26 is not a growth score. Rank 110 of 113 is not a place score. The 88.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-8013 in BLS area 48620. 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 70 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.
