Appleton, WI was 32.2% above the U.S. median for Sewing Machine Operators. It ranked 3 of 236 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Sewing Machine Operators median says in Appleton, WI
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Sewing Machine Operators median in Appleton, WI at $48,460 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 51-6031 and BLS area 11540.
BLS lists 110 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 $51,830 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Appleton, WI's Sewing Machine Operators median is 32.2% above the U.S. Sewing Machine Operators median of $36,670 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 51-6031 with area 11540
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 51-6031 and area 11540. SOC 51-6031 names Sewing Machine Operators. Area 11540 names Appleton, WI. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-6031/11540 row reports 110 wage and salary jobs, 0.89 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.32 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-6031/11540, the annual median is $48,460 per year, while the matching mean is $51,830 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

Same-source checks
Compare Appleton, WI with its state and the U.S.
Appleton, WI has a annual median of $48,460 per year. Wisconsin has $40,370 per year. The U.S. row has $36,670 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Appleton, WI is 20.0% above Wisconsin on the same published median. Appleton, WI is 32.2% 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 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Appleton, WI sits for Sewing Machine Operators
Appleton, WI ranks 3 of 236 among metro areas with a published annual median for Sewing Machine Operators. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 3 of 236 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.
1. Bend, OR has a Sewing Machine Operators median of $50,830 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.7.
2. Glens Falls, NY has a Sewing Machine Operators median of $50,000 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.33.
4. Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV has a Sewing Machine Operators median of $48,190 per year, 460 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.6.
5. Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA has a Sewing Machine Operators median of $47,220 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.75.
Pay leaders
Where Sewing Machine Operators medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 51-6031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Bend, OR has the highest published median in this set, at $50,830 per year. Appleton, WI sits at $48,460 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Sewing Machine Operators 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. Bend, OR has a Sewing Machine Operators median of $50,830 per year, or $2,370 above Appleton, WI. BLS lists 50 jobs there, compared with 110 in Appleton, WI. The location quotient is 0.7.
2. Glens Falls, NY has a Sewing Machine Operators median of $50,000 per year, or $1,540 above Appleton, WI. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 110 in Appleton, WI. The location quotient is 1.33.
3. Appleton, WI has a Sewing Machine Operators median of $48,460 per year, or $0 above Appleton, WI. BLS lists 110 jobs there, compared with 110 in Appleton, WI. The location quotient is 1.32.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Sewing Machine Operators jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Sewing Machine Operators in this same-source set, at 9,310 jobs. Appleton, WI has 110. 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 9,310 estimated Sewing Machine Operators jobs, a gap of 9,200 jobs from Appleton, WI. Its median is $37,130 per year, or $11,330 below Appleton, WI. Its location quotient is 2.2.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 6,700 estimated Sewing Machine Operators jobs, a gap of 6,590 jobs from Appleton, WI. Its median is $37,780 per year, or $10,680 below Appleton, WI. Its location quotient is 1.05.
3. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has 3,680 estimated Sewing Machine Operators jobs, a gap of 3,570 jobs from Appleton, WI. Its median is $30,620 per year, or $17,840 below Appleton, WI. Its location quotient is 1.94.
Local-share leaders
Where Sewing Machine Operators takes the largest share of local jobs
Mayaguez, PR has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 67.3. Appleton, WI has 1.32. 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 Sewing Machine Operators 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. Mayaguez, PR has a location quotient of 67.3, a gap of 65.98 from Appleton, WI. BLS lists 2,370 Sewing Machine Operators jobs and a median of $21,840 per year, or $26,620 below Appleton, WI.
2. Arecibo, PR has a location quotient of 43.14, a gap of 41.82 from Appleton, WI. BLS lists 1,010 Sewing Machine Operators jobs and a median of $22,550 per year, or $25,910 below Appleton, WI.
3. Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton, NC has a location quotient of 17.88, a gap of 16.56 from Appleton, WI. BLS lists 1,860 Sewing Machine Operators jobs and a median of $46,540 per year, or $1,920 below Appleton, WI.
Job scale and share
How common Sewing Machine Operators is in Appleton, WI
BLS lists 110 Sewing Machine Operators jobs in Appleton, WI. It also lists 0.89 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 1.32. A value of 1 means Sewing Machine Operators 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.
Local job mix
Sewing Machine Operators beside other roles in Appleton, WI
The all-occupations median in Appleton, WI is $49,910 per year. The Sewing Machine Operators median is $48,460 per year. Sewing Machine Operators is 2.9% 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 Appleton, WI. 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 Sewing Machine Operators. 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. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a Appleton, WI median of $47,940 per year. BLS lists 1,180 jobs and a location quotient of 0.87.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Appleton, WI
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Appleton, WI table, at 3,610 jobs. Sewing Machine Operators has 110 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 124,230. 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 Sewing Machine Operators's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 3,610 jobs in Appleton, WI, a gap of 3,500 from Sewing Machine Operators. Its median is $34,540 per year, or $13,920 below Sewing Machine Operators. Its location quotient is 1.16.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Appleton, WI
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Appleton, WI role table, at $109,890 per year. Sewing Machine Operators has $48,460 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,910 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $109,890 per year in Appleton, WI, or $61,430 above Sewing Machine Operators. BLS lists 1,640 jobs, compared with 110 for Sewing Machine Operators. Its location quotient is 0.58.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers has a median of $98,970 per year in Appleton, WI, or $50,510 above Sewing Machine Operators. BLS lists 1,060 jobs, compared with 110 for Sewing Machine Operators. Its location quotient is 1.64.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Appleton, WI
Food Batchmakers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Appleton, WI role table, at 10.15. Sewing Machine Operators has 1.32. 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 Sewing Machine Operators with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Food Batchmakers has a location quotient of 10.15 in Appleton, WI, a gap of 8.83 from Sewing Machine Operators. BLS lists 1,420 jobs and a median of $49,390 per year, or $930 above Sewing Machine Operators.
2. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a location quotient of 2.91 in Appleton, WI, a gap of 1.59 from Sewing Machine Operators. BLS lists 1,020 jobs and a median of $65,980 per year, or $17,520 above Sewing Machine Operators.

Price-level view
What $48,460 may mean after the Appleton, WI price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Appleton, WI is 92.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.6% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $48,460 Sewing Machine Operators median by 92.4 divided by 100. The result is $52,435 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 70.8. Goods are 93.8. Utilities are 90.6. Other services are 99.4. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Appleton, WI row
The employment RSE for this Sewing Machine Operators row is 16.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.7%. 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 110 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $51,830 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 Appleton, WI wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Sewing Machine Operators. It uses a Appleton, WI 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 $48,460 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.
Limits
What the Sewing Machine Operators row for Appleton, WI 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 110 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.32 is not a growth score. Rank 3 of 236 is not a place score. The 92.4 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-6031 in BLS area 11540. 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 110 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
