WageScope divides the published Roofers 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 47-2181 and BLS area 27900.

Joplin, MO-KS was 29.3% below the U.S. median for Roofers. It ranked 259 of 265 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Roofers median in Joplin, MO-KS at $39,170 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 47-2181 and BLS area 27900.
BLS lists 60 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 $47,730 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Joplin, MO-KS's Roofers median is 29.3% below the U.S. Roofers median of $55,440 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 47-2181 and area 27900. SOC 47-2181 names Roofers. Area 27900 names Joplin, MO-KS. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2181/27900 row reports 60 wage and salary jobs, 0.63 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.73 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2181/27900, the annual median is $39,170 per year, while the matching mean is $47,730 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 27900 reports 87,190 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $53,370. Its annual median is $44,980. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2181 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Joplin, MO-KS runs from $28,650 at the 10th percentile to $84,610 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $34,140. The median is $44,980. The 75th percentile is $60,770. This is a place check, not a pay range for Roofers.
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 27900. They do not show related skills or a path into Roofers.
1. Area 27900, SOC 53-3032, Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers: 3,470 jobs, $47,430 annual median, 39.79 jobs per 1,000, and 3 location quotient.
2. Area 27900, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 2,670 jobs, $74,930 annual median, 30.57 jobs per 1,000, and 1.41 location quotient.
3. Area 27900, SOC 53-7065, Stockers and Order Fillers: 2,620 jobs, $35,460 annual median, 30.01 jobs per 1,000, and 1.65 location quotient.
4. Area 27900, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 2,420 jobs, $30,740 annual median, 27.71 jobs per 1,000, and 1.11 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Joplin, MO-KS wage ladder for Roofers
The 10th percentile is $33,410 per year. The 25th percentile is $37,800 per year. The median is $39,170 per year. The 75th percentile is $49,230 per year. The 90th percentile is $72,260 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 $37,800 per year to $49,230 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $38,850. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Joplin, MO-KS has a annual median of $39,170 per year. Missouri has $48,570 per year. The U.S. row has $55,440 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Joplin, MO-KS is 19.4% below Missouri on the same published median. Joplin, MO-KS is 29.3% 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.
Joplin, MO-KS ranks 259 of 265 among metro areas with a published annual median for Roofers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 259 of 265 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.
256. Grand Island, NE has a Roofers median of $39,700 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.6.
257. Longview, TX has a Roofers median of $39,460 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.77.
258. Farmington, NM has a Roofers median of $39,420 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.81.
260. Las Cruces, NM has a Roofers median of $39,070 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.69.
261. Corpus Christi, TX has a Roofers median of $37,600 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.29.
Pay leaders
Where Roofers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2181, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Worcester, MA has the highest published median in this set, at $105,270 per year. Joplin, MO-KS sits at $39,170 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Roofers 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. Worcester, MA has a Roofers median of $105,270 per year, or $66,100 above Joplin, MO-KS. BLS lists 350 jobs there, compared with 60 in Joplin, MO-KS. The location quotient is 1.15.
2. Trenton-Princeton, NJ has a Roofers median of $82,100 per year, or $42,930 above Joplin, MO-KS. BLS lists 140 jobs there, compared with 60 in Joplin, MO-KS. The location quotient is 0.66.
3. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has a Roofers median of $82,090 per year, or $42,920 above Joplin, MO-KS. BLS lists 3,900 jobs there, compared with 60 in Joplin, MO-KS. The location quotient is 0.99.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Roofers jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Roofers in this same-source set, at 5,480 jobs. Joplin, MO-KS has 60. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 5,480 estimated Roofers jobs, a gap of 5,420 jobs from Joplin, MO-KS. Its median is $63,560 per year, or $24,390 above Joplin, MO-KS. Its location quotient is 1.
2. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has 5,290 estimated Roofers jobs, a gap of 5,230 jobs from Joplin, MO-KS. Its median is $48,030 per year, or $8,860 above Joplin, MO-KS. Its location quotient is 2.15.
Local-share leaders
Where Roofers takes the largest share of local jobs
Sebastian-Vero Beach-West Vero Corridor, FL has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 9.05. Joplin, MO-KS has 0.73. 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 Roofers 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. Sebastian-Vero Beach-West Vero Corridor, FL has a location quotient of 9.05, a gap of 8.32 from Joplin, MO-KS. BLS lists 450 Roofers jobs and a median of $49,200 per year, or $10,030 above Joplin, MO-KS.
2. Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL has a location quotient of 7.17, a gap of 6.44 from Joplin, MO-KS. BLS lists 1,900 Roofers jobs and a median of $46,890 per year, or $7,720 above Joplin, MO-KS.
3. North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota, FL has a location quotient of 6.7, a gap of 5.97 from Joplin, MO-KS. BLS lists 1,990 Roofers jobs and a median of $48,860 per year, or $9,690 above Joplin, MO-KS.
Job scale and share
How common Roofers is in Joplin, MO-KS
BLS lists 60 Roofers jobs in Joplin, MO-KS. It also lists 0.63 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 0.73. A value of 1 means Roofers 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.
The all-occupations median in Joplin, MO-KS is $44,980 per year. The Roofers median is $39,170 per year. Roofers is 12.9% 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 Joplin, MO-KS. 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 Roofers. 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. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Joplin, MO-KS median of $39,400 per year. BLS lists 1,720 jobs and a location quotient of 1.04.
2. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a Joplin, MO-KS median of $38,540 per year. BLS lists 990 jobs and a location quotient of 1.04.
3. Office Clerks, General, SOC 43-9061, has a Joplin, MO-KS median of $38,170 per year. BLS lists 1,460 jobs and a location quotient of 1.06.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Joplin, MO-KS
Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Joplin, MO-KS table, at 3,470 jobs. Roofers has 60 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 87,190. 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 Roofers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 3,470 jobs in Joplin, MO-KS, a gap of 3,410 from Roofers. Its median is $47,430 per year, or $8,260 above Roofers. Its location quotient is 3.
2. Registered Nurses has 2,670 jobs in Joplin, MO-KS, a gap of 2,610 from Roofers. Its median is $74,930 per year, or $35,760 above Roofers. Its location quotient is 1.41.
3. Stockers and Order Fillers has 2,620 jobs in Joplin, MO-KS, a gap of 2,560 from Roofers. Its median is $35,460 per year, or $3,710 below Roofers. Its location quotient is 1.65.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Joplin, MO-KS
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Joplin, MO-KS role table, at $74,930 per year. Roofers has $39,170 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $44,980 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 $74,930 per year in Joplin, MO-KS, or $35,760 above Roofers. BLS lists 2,670 jobs, compared with 60 for Roofers. Its location quotient is 1.41.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a median of $63,830 per year in Joplin, MO-KS, or $24,660 above Roofers. BLS lists 770 jobs, compared with 60 for Roofers. Its location quotient is 2.05.
3. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products has a median of $57,270 per year in Joplin, MO-KS, or $18,100 above Roofers. BLS lists 670 jobs, compared with 60 for Roofers. Its location quotient is 0.97.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Joplin, MO-KS
Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Joplin, MO-KS role table, at 6.03. Roofers has 0.73. 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 Roofers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders has a location quotient of 6.03 in Joplin, MO-KS, a gap of 5.30 from Roofers. BLS lists 1,280 jobs and a median of $47,040 per year, or $7,870 above Roofers.
2. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 5.65 in Joplin, MO-KS, a gap of 4.92 from Roofers. BLS lists 2,030 jobs and a median of $28,600 per year, or $10,570 below Roofers.
3. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has a location quotient of 3 in Joplin, MO-KS, a gap of 2.27 from Roofers. BLS lists 3,470 jobs and a median of $47,430 per year, or $8,260 above Roofers.
Price-level view
What $39,170 may mean after the Joplin, MO-KS price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Joplin, MO-KS is 85.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 14.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $39,170 Roofers median by 85.7 divided by 100. The result is $45,696 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 54.0. Goods are 94.2. Utilities are 85.9. Other services are 93.1. 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 Roofers row is 13.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 6.8%. 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 60 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $47,730 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 Roofers. It uses a Joplin, MO-KS 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 $39,170 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 Roofers row for Joplin, MO-KS 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 60 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.73 is not a growth score. Rank 259 of 265 is not a place score. The 85.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-2181 in BLS area 27900. 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.
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.
