Questions, answered
Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers pay in Ohio: common questions
What is the median wage for Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers in Ohio?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $59,460 per year for Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers in Ohio. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers pay higher in Ohio than nationally?
Ohio's published median was 1.9% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Ohio?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 92.8 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median says in Ohio
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median in Ohio at $59,460 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 53-4013 and BLS area 39.
BLS lists Not published 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 $58,760 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Ohio's Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median is 1.9% below the U.S. Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median of $60,600 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 53-4013 and area 39. SOC 53-4013 names Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. Area 39 names Ohio. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 53-4013/39 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 53-4013/39, the annual median is $59,460 per year, while the matching mean is $58,760 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

BLS area 39 facts behind this Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers page
Area 39 reports 5,550,180 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,390. Its annual median is $49,380. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 53-4013 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Ohio runs from $29,210 at the 10th percentile to $106,800 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,820. The median is $49,380. The 75th percentile is $77,570. This is a place check, not a pay range for Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers.
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 39. They do not show related skills or a path into Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers.
1. Area 39, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 163,560 jobs, $28,430 annual median, 29.47 jobs per 1,000, and 1.19 location quotient.
2. Area 39, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 153,160 jobs, $97,700 annual median, 27.6 jobs per 1,000, and 1.22 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Ohio wage ladder for Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers
The 10th percentile is $50,480 per year. The 25th percentile is $59,330 per year. The median is $59,460 per year. The 75th percentile is $59,500 per year. The 90th percentile is $68,480 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 $59,330 per year to $59,500 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $18,000. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Ohio has a annual median of $59,460 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $60,600 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Ohio. Ohio is 1.9% 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 Ohio sits for Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers
Ohio ranks 9 of 17 among states and territories with a published annual median for Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 9 of 17 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.
6. Oklahoma has a Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median of $63,400 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.68.
7. Kentucky has a Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median of $62,070 per year, 110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.16.
8. Colorado has a Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median of $60,770 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
Pay leaders
Where Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 53-4013, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. West Virginia has the highest published median in this set, at $91,380 per year. Ohio sits at $59,460 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers 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. West Virginia has a Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median of $91,380 per year, or $31,920 above Ohio. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with Not published in Ohio. The location quotient is 2.1.
2. Florida has a Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median of $80,360 per year, or $20,900 above Ohio. BLS lists 120 jobs there, compared with Not published in Ohio. The location quotient is 0.47.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers in this same-source set, at 190 jobs. Ohio 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. California has 190 estimated Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Ohio. Its median is $67,160 per year, or $7,700 above Ohio. Its location quotient is 0.41.
2. Indiana has 190 estimated Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Ohio. Its median is $54,420 per year, or $5,040 below Ohio. Its location quotient is 2.33.
Local-share leaders
Where Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers takes the largest share of local jobs
Indiana has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.33. Ohio 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 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers 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. Indiana has a location quotient of 2.33, a gap of not available from Ohio. BLS lists 190 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers jobs and a median of $54,420 per year, or $5,040 below Ohio.
2. Kentucky has a location quotient of 2.16, a gap of not available from Ohio. BLS lists 110 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers jobs and a median of $62,070 per year, or $2,610 above Ohio.
3. West Virginia has a location quotient of 2.1, a gap of not available from Ohio. BLS lists 40 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers jobs and a median of $91,380 per year, or $31,920 above Ohio.
Job scale and share
How common Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers is in Ohio
BLS lists Not published Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers jobs in Ohio. 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 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers 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.
Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers beside other roles in Ohio
The all-occupations median in Ohio is $49,380 per year. The Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median is $59,460 per year. Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers is 20.4% 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 Ohio. 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 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. 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. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Ohio median of $59,800 per year. BLS lists 83,060 jobs and a location quotient of 1.13.
2. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses, SOC 29-2061, has a Ohio median of $61,950 per year. BLS lists 39,900 jobs and a location quotient of 1.72.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Ohio
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Ohio table, at 163,560 jobs. Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers 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 5,550,180. 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 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 163,560 jobs in Ohio, a gap of not available from Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. Its median is $28,430 per year, or $31,030 below Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. Its location quotient is 1.19.
2. General and Operations Managers has 153,160 jobs in Ohio, a gap of not available from Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. Its median is $97,700 per year, or $38,240 above Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. Its location quotient is 1.22.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Ohio
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Ohio role table, at $114,090 per year. Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers has $59,460 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,380 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 $114,090 per year in Ohio, or $54,630 above Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. BLS lists 44,790 jobs, compared with Not published for Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. Its location quotient is 0.74.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $97,700 per year in Ohio, or $38,240 above Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. BLS lists 153,160 jobs, compared with Not published for Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. Its location quotient is 1.22.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Ohio
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Ohio role table, at 1.86. Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers 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 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.86 in Ohio, a gap of not available from Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. BLS lists 93,480 jobs and a median of $45,720 per year, or $13,740 below Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers.
2. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has a location quotient of 1.72 in Ohio, a gap of not available from Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. BLS lists 39,900 jobs and a median of $61,950 per year, or $2,490 above Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers.
Price-level view
What $59,460 may mean after the Ohio price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Ohio is 92.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.2% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $59,460 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers median by 92.8 divided by 100. The result is $64,091 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 73.0. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 95.8. Other services are 98.9. 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 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers row is Not published. 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 Not published job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $58,760 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 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers. It uses a Ohio 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 $59,460 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 Rail Yard Engineers, Dinkey Operators, and Hostlers row for Ohio 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. Rank 9 of 17 is not a place score. The 92.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 53-4013 in BLS area 39. 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.
