Like-for-like rank
Where Portland-South Portland, ME sits for Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other
Portland-South Portland, ME ranks 41 of 53 among metro areas with a published annual median for Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 41 of 53 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.
38. Raleigh-Cary, NC. The Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other median is $59,320 per year. BLS estimates 80 jobs. The location quotient is 1.83.

Pay leaders
Where Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other medians lead among metro areas

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other median of $120,900 per year, or $63,040 above Portland-South Portland, ME. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with 30 in Portland-South Portland, ME. The location quotient is Not published.

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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 450 estimated Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other jobs, a gap of 420 jobs from Portland-South Portland, ME. Its median is $61,380 per year, or $3,520 above Portland-South Portland, ME. Its location quotient is 1.18.

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 Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other 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. Warner Robins, GA has a location quotient of 7.96, a gap of 6.12 from Portland-South Portland, ME. BLS lists 40 Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other jobs and a median of $73,690 per year, or $15,830 above Portland-South Portland, ME.

BLS lists 30 Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other jobs in Portland-South Portland, ME. It also lists 0.11 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 1.84. A value of 1 means Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other 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 nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Portland-South Portland, ME. 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 Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other. 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.

The all-occupations job count is 288,480. 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 Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

The local all-occupations median is $56,960 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.

Childcare Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Portland-South Portland, ME role table, at 2.56. Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other has 1.84. 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 Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

Price-level view
What $57,860 may mean after the Portland-South Portland, ME price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Portland-South Portland, ME is 101.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $57,860 Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other median by 101.9 divided by 100. The result is $56,805 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 105.2. Goods are 97.2. Utilities are 134.6. Other services are 103.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Portland-South Portland, ME row
The employment RSE for this Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other row is 38.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 8.2%. 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 30 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $62,630 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Portland-South Portland, ME wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other. It uses a Portland-South Portland, ME 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 $57,860 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.
Limits
What the Precision Instrument and Equipment Repairers, All Other row for Portland-South Portland, ME 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 30 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.84 is not a growth score. Rank 41 of 53 is not a place score. The 101.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 49-9069 in BLS area 38860. 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.
