What the Public Safety Telecommunicators median says in Virginia
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Public Safety Telecommunicators median in Virginia at $50,490 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 43-5031 and BLS area 51.
BLS lists 3,050 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 $53,370 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Virginia's Public Safety Telecommunicators median is 4.8% below the U.S. Public Safety Telecommunicators median of $53,040 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 43-5031 and area 51. SOC 43-5031 names Public Safety Telecommunicators. Area 51 names Virginia. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-5031/51 row reports 3,050 wage and salary jobs, 0.74 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.13 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-5031/51, the annual median is $50,490 per year, while the matching mean is $53,370 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 51 facts behind this Public Safety Telecommunicators page
Area 51 reports 4,109,320 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $74,040. Its annual median is $55,690. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-5031 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Virginia runs from $30,530 at the 10th percentile to $139,010 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,720. The median is $55,690. The 75th percentile is $89,420. This is a place check, not a pay range for Public Safety Telecommunicators.
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 51. They do not show related skills or a path into Public Safety Telecommunicators.
1. Area 51, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 104,460 jobs, $30,110 annual median, 25.42 jobs per 1,000, and 1.03 location quotient.
2. Area 51, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 103,590 jobs, $122,080 annual median, 25.21 jobs per 1,000, and 1.12 location quotient.
3. Area 51, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 100,290 jobs, $34,240 annual median, 24.41 jobs per 1,000, and 0.97 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Virginia wage ladder for Public Safety Telecommunicators
The 10th percentile is $37,840 per year. The 25th percentile is $44,220 per year. The median is $50,490 per year. The 75th percentile is $60,690 per year. The 90th percentile is $73,770 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 $44,220 per year to $60,690 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $35,930. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Virginia has a annual median of $50,490 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $53,040 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Virginia. Virginia is 4.8% 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 Virginia sits for Public Safety Telecommunicators
Virginia ranks 30 of 52 among states and territories with a published annual median for Public Safety Telecommunicators. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 30 of 52 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.
27. Delaware has a Public Safety Telecommunicators median of $53,140 per year, 260 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.8.
28. Idaho has a Public Safety Telecommunicators median of $51,780 per year, 580 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.02.
29. Wyoming has a Public Safety Telecommunicators median of $50,600 per year, 350 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.89.
31. Nebraska has a Public Safety Telecommunicators median of $50,270 per year, 750 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.11.
Pay leaders
Where Public Safety Telecommunicators medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 43-5031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. California has the highest published median in this set, at $80,120 per year. Virginia sits at $50,490 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Public Safety Telecommunicators 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. California has a Public Safety Telecommunicators median of $80,120 per year, or $29,630 above Virginia. BLS lists 8,520 jobs there, compared with 3,050 in Virginia. The location quotient is 0.71.
2. Washington has a Public Safety Telecommunicators median of $78,850 per year, or $28,360 above Virginia. BLS lists 1,980 jobs there, compared with 3,050 in Virginia. The location quotient is 0.84.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Public Safety Telecommunicators jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Public Safety Telecommunicators in this same-source set, at 8,520 jobs. Virginia has 3,050. 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 8,520 estimated Public Safety Telecommunicators jobs, a gap of 5,470 jobs from Virginia. Its median is $80,120 per year, or $29,630 above Virginia. Its location quotient is 0.71.
2. Texas has 7,730 estimated Public Safety Telecommunicators jobs, a gap of 4,680 jobs from Virginia. Its median is $50,040 per year, or $450 below Virginia. Its location quotient is 0.83.
Local-share leaders
Where Public Safety Telecommunicators takes the largest share of local jobs
West Virginia has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.9. Virginia has 1.13. 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 Public Safety Telecommunicators 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 Virginia has a location quotient of 1.9, a gap of 0.77 from Virginia. BLS lists 880 Public Safety Telecommunicators jobs and a median of $40,490 per year, or $10,000 below Virginia.
2. Wyoming has a location quotient of 1.89, a gap of 0.76 from Virginia. BLS lists 350 Public Safety Telecommunicators jobs and a median of $50,600 per year, or $110 above Virginia.
3. Mississippi has a location quotient of 1.87, a gap of 0.74 from Virginia. BLS lists 1,430 Public Safety Telecommunicators jobs and a median of $34,510 per year, or $15,980 below Virginia.
Job scale and share
How common Public Safety Telecommunicators is in Virginia
BLS lists 3,050 Public Safety Telecommunicators jobs in Virginia. It also lists 0.74 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 1.13. A value of 1 means Public Safety Telecommunicators 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.
Public Safety Telecommunicators beside other roles in Virginia
The all-occupations median in Virginia is $55,690 per year. The Public Safety Telecommunicators median is $50,490 per year. Public Safety Telecommunicators is 9.3% 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 Virginia. 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 Public Safety Telecommunicators. 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 Virginia median of $49,470 per year. BLS lists 34,540 jobs and a location quotient of 0.85.
2. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Virginia median of $51,620 per year. BLS lists 31,990 jobs and a location quotient of 0.88.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers, SOC 41-1011, has a Virginia median of $47,990 per year. BLS lists 32,250 jobs and a location quotient of 1.09.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Virginia
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Virginia table, at 104,460 jobs. Public Safety Telecommunicators has 3,050 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 4,109,320. 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 Public Safety Telecommunicators's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 104,460 jobs in Virginia, a gap of 101,410 from Public Safety Telecommunicators. Its median is $30,110 per year, or $20,380 below Public Safety Telecommunicators. Its location quotient is 1.03.
2. General and Operations Managers has 103,590 jobs in Virginia, a gap of 100,540 from Public Safety Telecommunicators. Its median is $122,080 per year, or $71,590 above Public Safety Telecommunicators. Its location quotient is 1.12.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Virginia
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Virginia role table, at $136,460 per year. Public Safety Telecommunicators has $50,490 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $55,690 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. Software Developers has a median of $136,460 per year in Virginia, or $85,970 above Public Safety Telecommunicators. BLS lists 88,280 jobs, compared with 3,050 for Public Safety Telecommunicators. Its location quotient is 1.98.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $122,080 per year in Virginia, or $71,590 above Public Safety Telecommunicators. BLS lists 103,590 jobs, compared with 3,050 for Public Safety Telecommunicators. Its location quotient is 1.12.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Virginia
Management Analysts has the highest location quotient in the bounded Virginia role table, at 2.51. Public Safety Telecommunicators has 1.13. 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 Public Safety Telecommunicators with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Management Analysts has a location quotient of 2.51 in Virginia, a gap of 1.38 from Public Safety Telecommunicators. BLS lists 59,620 jobs and a median of $117,580 per year, or $67,090 above Public Safety Telecommunicators.
2. Software Developers has a location quotient of 1.98 in Virginia, a gap of 0.85 from Public Safety Telecommunicators. BLS lists 88,280 jobs and a median of $136,460 per year, or $85,970 above Public Safety Telecommunicators.
Price-level view
What $50,490 may mean after the Virginia price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Virginia is 101.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.1% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $50,490 Public Safety Telecommunicators median by 101.1 divided by 100. The result is $49,939 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 106.8. Goods are 100.4. Utilities are 92.2. Other services are 100.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Public Safety Telecommunicators row is 3.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 3,050 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $53,370 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 Public Safety Telecommunicators. It uses a Virginia 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 $50,490 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 Public Safety Telecommunicators row for Virginia 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 3,050 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.13 is not a growth score. Rank 30 of 52 is not a place score. The 101.1 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-5031 in BLS area 51. 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 3,050 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.
