Compare Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $48,580 per year. California has $47,400 per year. The U.S. row has $38,140 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area is 2.5% above California on the same published median. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area is 27.4% above 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 benchmarks, 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area sits for Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education
Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area ranks 12 of 137 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 12 of 137 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.
9. Southern Vermont nonmetropolitan area. The Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education median is $49,710 per year. BLS estimates 320 jobs. The location quotient is 1.21.
10. North Georgia nonmetropolitan area. The Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education median is $49,420 per year. BLS estimates 600 jobs. The location quotient is 1.03.

Pay leaders
Where Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 25-2011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Northwest Nebraska nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $64,180 per year. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area sits at $48,580 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education 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. Northwest Nebraska nonmetropolitan area has a Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education median of $64,180 per year, or $15,600 above Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 140 in Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.55.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education jobs
Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education in this same-source set, at 1,030 jobs. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has 140. 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 1,030 estimated Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education jobs, a gap of 890 jobs from Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $35,380 per year, or $13,200 below Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.26.
2. South Georgia nonmetropolitan area has 1,020 estimated Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education jobs, a gap of 880 jobs from Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area.

Local-share leaders
Where Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education takes the largest share of local jobs
West Delta Mississippi nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 1.96. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has 0.71. 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 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education 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. West Delta Mississippi nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 1.96, a gap of 1.25 from Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 560 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education jobs and a median of $35,870 per year, or $12,710 below Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area.

BLS lists 140 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education jobs in Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 2.19 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 0.71. A value of 1 means Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower 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.
Local job mix

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California 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 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education. 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 largest detailed roles in Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area table, at 2,220 jobs. Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education has 140 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 63,160. 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 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 2,220 jobs in Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2,080 from Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area role table, at $135,270 per year. Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education has $48,580 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,760 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $135,270 per year in Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area, or $86,690 above Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area
Forest and Conservation Technicians has the highest location quotient in the bounded Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area role table, at 39.89. Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education has 0.71. 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 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Forest and Conservation Technicians has a location quotient of 39.89 in Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 39.18 from Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education. BLS lists 490 jobs and a median of Not published, or not available.

Price-level view
What $48,580 may mean after the Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $48,580 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 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education 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.
Data care
How much care to use with the Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education row is 20.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.3%. 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 140 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $52,690 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 Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education. It uses a Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California 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 $48,580 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 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education row for Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California 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 140 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.71 is not a growth score. Rank 12 of 137 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 25-2011 in BLS area 0600006. 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.
How many Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education jobs does BLS estimate in Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area?
