A same-metric difference from the U.S. median is unavailable for this row. The row could not be ranked because the matching median was unavailable. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
Price-level context
What the local median may buy
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Illinois was 100, or 0% below the national price level. Its housing index was 93.9.
National-price-dollar proxy
Not available
WageScope divides the published Radiologists 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 29-1224 and BLS area 17.
Questions, answered
Radiologists pay in Illinois: common questions
What is the median wage for Radiologists in Illinois?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of At least $239,200 per year for Radiologists in Illinois. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Radiologists pay higher in Illinois than nationally?
BLS did not publish the same median metric needed to compare Illinois with the United States.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Illinois?
No wage price proxy is available because BLS did not publish an exact local median. A top-coded bound is not an exact wage input. A BEA price index, when available, describes prices separately and cannot fill that wage gap.
How many Radiologists jobs does BLS estimate in Illinois?
From market data to your evidence
Tailor for a real Radiologists job, not a generic wage number.
Pick an eligible listing, then MeritLog can help you prepare from experience you have confirmed. WageScope never turns a BLS estimate into a qualification or résumé claim.
BLS did not publish an exact median for Radiologists in Illinois in the May 2025 OEWS release. The source display is At least $239,200 per year. WageScope does not borrow the U.S. wage, use a nearby place, or turn this gap into zero. The row stays tied to SOC 29-1224 and BLS area 17.
BLS lists Not published wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate, not a count of open posts. The mean display is At least $239,200 per year. A mean and a median are separate fields; one does not fill a gap in the other.
A local-to-national median gap cannot be computed from this row. The national source belongs to the United States and does not become Illinois's wage. Any published percentile or job-count field below keeps its own scope, period, and source key.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 29-1224 and area 17. SOC 29-1224 names Radiologists. Area 17 names Illinois. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-1224/17 row reports Not published wage and salary jobs, Not published jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a Not published location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-1224/17, the annual median is At least $239,200 per year, while the matching mean is Not published. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

Area 17 reports 6,098,130 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,130. Its annual median is $51,960. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-1224 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Illinois runs from $32,900 at the 10th percentile to $127,770 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,960. The median is $51,960. The 75th percentile is $83,060. This is a place check, not a pay range for Radiologists.
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 17. They do not show related skills or a path into Radiologists.
1. Area 17, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 195,390 jobs, $40,550 annual median, 32.04 jobs per 1,000, and 1.69 location quotient.
2. Area 17, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 171,300 jobs, $103,570 annual median, 28.09 jobs per 1,000, and 1.25 location quotient.
3. Area 17, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 139,630 jobs, $34,490 annual median, 22.9 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Illinois wage ladder for Radiologists
The 10th percentile is At least $239,200 per year. The 25th percentile is At least $239,200 per year. The median is At least $239,200 per year. The 75th percentile is At least $239,200 per year. The 90th percentile is At least $239,200 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 At least $239,200 per year to At least $239,200 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is not available. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Illinois has a annual median of At least $239,200 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $420,860 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Illinois. Illinois cannot be compared with the United States on the same published median. WageScope leaves that gap open. 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.
Illinois has no exact published median that can enter this Radiologists pay rank. WageScope leaves the rank open. It does not treat a missing or top-coded value as an exact amount, and it does not place this row at the bottom of a list.
Other states and territories may have exact medians in the same release. Those rows can be read on their own pages. They cannot establish a wage or a nearest wage neighbor for Illinois without the missing local field.
Employment and local share remain separate source fields for SOC 29-1224. Neither field is a substitute for median pay. A job count does not say where a wage would rank, and a share measure does not set a pay floor or ceiling.
Where Radiologists medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 29-1224, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Minnesota has the highest published median in this set, at $708,340 per year. Illinois sits at At least $239,200 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Radiologists 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. Minnesota has a Radiologists median of $708,340 per year, or not available. BLS lists 440 jobs there, compared with Not published in Illinois. The location quotient is 0.87.
2. South Dakota has a Radiologists median of $586,010 per year, or not available. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with Not published in Illinois. The location quotient is 0.87.
3. Maryland has a Radiologists median of $581,510 per year, or not available. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with Not published in Illinois. The location quotient is Not published.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Radiologists jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Radiologists in this same-source set, at 2,330 jobs. Illinois has Not published. 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. Texas has 2,330 estimated Radiologists jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Illinois. Its median is $319,320 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 0.96.
2. New York has 2,010 estimated Radiologists jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Illinois. Its median is $441,580 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.2.
3. Florida has 1,680 estimated Radiologists jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Illinois. Its median is $417,690 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 0.98.
Local-share leaders
Where Radiologists takes the largest share of local jobs
West Virginia has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.95. Illinois has Not published. 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 Radiologists 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 2.95, a gap of not available from Illinois. BLS lists 360 Radiologists jobs and a median of $471,650 per year, or not available.
2. Wisconsin has a location quotient of 1.94, a gap of not available from Illinois. BLS lists 980 Radiologists jobs and a median of $392,610 per year, or not available.
3. New Hampshire has a location quotient of 1.76, a gap of not available from Illinois. BLS lists 210 Radiologists jobs and a median of $506,010 per year, or not available.
Job scale and share
How common Radiologists is in Illinois
BLS lists Not published Radiologists jobs in Illinois. It also lists Not published 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 Not published. A value of 1 means Radiologists has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is not available for a share check. 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 all-occupations median in Illinois is $51,960 per year. It covers the full local job mix and does not replace the missing exact Radiologists median. WageScope cannot calculate a same-unit wage gap from the role to that broader row.
No nearest-pay role list is shown for this row. Such a list needs an exact local median in the same wage unit. A title, employment count, or national wage cannot supply that missing input.
Other roles in Illinois still have their own source pages. Use those pages for their own official estimates, with each SOC code and period intact. Do not infer common tasks, skills, career paths, or pay for Radiologists from another role's number.
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Illinois table, at 195,390 jobs. Radiologists has Not published 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 6,098,130. 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 Radiologists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 195,390 jobs in Illinois, a gap of not available from Radiologists. Its median is $40,550 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.69.
2. General and Operations Managers has 171,300 jobs in Illinois, a gap of not available from Radiologists. Its median is $103,570 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.25.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Illinois
Financial Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Illinois role table, at $165,880 per year. Radiologists has At least $239,200 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,960 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.
1. Financial Managers has a median of $165,880 per year in Illinois, or not available. BLS lists 52,720 jobs, compared with Not published for Radiologists. Its location quotient is 1.6.
2. Software Developers has a median of $132,110 per year in Illinois, or not available. BLS lists 56,310 jobs, compared with Not published for Radiologists. Its location quotient is 0.85.
3. Management Analysts has a median of $104,270 per year in Illinois, or not available. BLS lists 45,820 jobs, compared with Not published for Radiologists. Its location quotient is 1.3.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Illinois
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has the highest location quotient in the bounded Illinois role table, at 1.69. Radiologists has Not published. 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 Radiologists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has a location quotient of 1.69 in Illinois, a gap of not available from Radiologists. BLS lists 195,390 jobs and a median of $40,550 per year, or not available.
2. Financial Managers has a location quotient of 1.6 in Illinois, a gap of not available from Radiologists. BLS lists 52,720 jobs and a median of $165,880 per year, or not available.
3. Sales Representatives of Services, Except Advertising, Insurance, Financial Services, and Travel has a location quotient of 1.42 in Illinois, a gap of not available from Radiologists. BLS lists 69,910 jobs and a median of $66,900 per year, or not available.
Price-level view
Why a wage price proxy is unavailable in Illinois
No national-price-dollar wage proxy is available for Radiologists in Illinois because BLS did not publish the exact median needed for that math. A missing or top-coded median is not zero and is not an exact wage input.
BEA separately published a 2024 all-items price index of 100.0 for Illinois. The U.S. level is 100. This source can describe broad local prices, but it cannot supply the missing BLS wage for SOC 29-1224.
A price-level wage calculation needs a published wage in the correct unit and an exact reviewed price-area match. Until both inputs exist, WageScope leaves that answer open. Published employment, source dates, and wage-status fields remain useful on their own without an inferred spending-power claim.
The employment RSE for this Radiologists row is Not published. The mean-wage RSE is 8.1%. 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 Not published job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the At least $239,200 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 Radiologists. It uses a Illinois 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 At least $239,200 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 Radiologists row for Illinois 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 Not published job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of Not published is not a growth score. The unranked row is not a place score. The 100.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 29-1224 in BLS area 17. 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 Not published 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.
