WageScope divides the published Ship Engineers 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 53-5031 and BLS area 28.
Questions, answered
Ship Engineers pay in Mississippi: common questions
What is the median wage for Ship Engineers in Mississippi?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $98,380 per year for Ship Engineers in Mississippi. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Ship Engineers pay higher in Mississippi than nationally?
Mississippi's published median was 10.2% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Mississippi?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 87.0 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.
How many Ship Engineers jobs does BLS estimate in Mississippi?
BLS published an employment estimate of 140 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.

What the Ship Engineers median says in Mississippi
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Ship Engineers median in Mississippi at $98,380 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 53-5031 and BLS area 28.
BLS lists 140 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 $96,910 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Mississippi's Ship Engineers median is 10.2% below the U.S. Ship Engineers median of $109,530 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 53-5031 and area 28. SOC 53-5031 names Ship Engineers. Area 28 names Mississippi. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 53-5031/28 row reports 140 wage and salary jobs, 0.12 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 2.16 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 53-5031/28, the annual median is $98,380 per year, while the matching mean is $96,910 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 28 reports 1,163,030 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $50,810. Its annual median is $40,120. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 53-5031 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Mississippi runs from $22,970 at the 10th percentile to $84,500 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $29,760. The median is $40,120. The 75th percentile is $60,180. This is a place check, not a pay range for Ship Engineers.
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 28. They do not show related skills or a path into Ship Engineers.
1. Area 28, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 38,400 jobs, $28,640 annual median, 33.02 jobs per 1,000, and 1.32 location quotient.
2. Area 28, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 31,220 jobs, $22,610 annual median, 26.84 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
3. Area 28, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 30,750 jobs, $36,400 annual median, 26.44 jobs per 1,000, and 1.39 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Mississippi wage ladder for Ship Engineers
The 10th percentile is $75,730 per year. The 25th percentile is $78,790 per year. The median is $98,380 per year. The 75th percentile is $101,620 per year. The 90th percentile is $129,880 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 $78,790 per year to $101,620 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $54,150. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Mississippi has a annual median of $98,380 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $109,530 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Mississippi. Mississippi is 10.2% 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.
Mississippi ranks 14 of 25 among states and territories with a published annual median for Ship Engineers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 14 of 25 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.
11. Illinois has a Ship Engineers median of $115,310 per year, 110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.33.
12. Washington has a Ship Engineers median of $107,940 per year, 730 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.78.
13. Louisiana has a Ship Engineers median of $103,430 per year, 610 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 5.84.
15. South Carolina has a Ship Engineers median of $97,890 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.62.
Pay leaders
Where Ship Engineers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 53-5031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. New York has the highest published median in this set, at $133,640 per year. Mississippi sits at $98,380 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Ship Engineers 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. New York has a Ship Engineers median of $133,640 per year, or $35,260 above Mississippi. BLS lists 550 jobs there, compared with 140 in Mississippi. The location quotient is 1.05.
2. Hawaii has a Ship Engineers median of $131,640 per year, or $33,260 above Mississippi. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 140 in Mississippi. The location quotient is 2.01.
3. Florida has a Ship Engineers median of $130,480 per year, or $32,100 above Mississippi. BLS lists 1,260 jobs there, compared with 140 in Mississippi. The location quotient is 2.34.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Ship Engineers jobs
Virginia has the largest published state job estimate for Ship Engineers in this same-source set, at 1,450 jobs. Mississippi has 140. 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. Virginia has 1,450 estimated Ship Engineers jobs, a gap of 1,310 jobs from Mississippi. Its median is $82,370 per year, or $16,010 below Mississippi. Its location quotient is 6.53.
2. Florida has 1,260 estimated Ship Engineers jobs, a gap of 1,120 jobs from Mississippi. Its median is $130,480 per year, or $32,100 above Mississippi. Its location quotient is 2.34.
3. Washington has 730 estimated Ship Engineers jobs, a gap of 590 jobs from Mississippi. Its median is $107,940 per year, or $9,560 above Mississippi. Its location quotient is 3.78.
Local-share leaders
Where Ship Engineers takes the largest share of local jobs
Alaska has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 23.8. Mississippi has 2.16. 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 Ship Engineers 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. Alaska has a location quotient of 23.8, a gap of 21.64 from Mississippi. BLS lists 420 Ship Engineers jobs and a median of $88,190 per year, or $10,190 below Mississippi.
2. Virginia has a location quotient of 6.53, a gap of 4.37 from Mississippi. BLS lists 1,450 Ship Engineers jobs and a median of $82,370 per year, or $16,010 below Mississippi.
3. Louisiana has a location quotient of 5.84, a gap of 3.68 from Mississippi. BLS lists 610 Ship Engineers jobs and a median of $103,430 per year, or $5,050 above Mississippi.
Job scale and share
How common Ship Engineers is in Mississippi
BLS lists 140 Ship Engineers jobs in Mississippi. It also lists 0.12 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 2.16. A value of 1 means Ship Engineers 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.
The all-occupations median in Mississippi is $40,120 per year. The Ship Engineers median is $98,380 per year. Ship Engineers is 145.2% 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 Mississippi. 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 Ship Engineers. 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. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Mississippi median of $106,680 per year. BLS lists 10,630 jobs and a location quotient of 0.41.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Mississippi median of $77,090 per year. BLS lists 29,060 jobs and a location quotient of 1.15.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a Mississippi median of $58,380 per year. BLS lists 13,680 jobs and a location quotient of 1.27.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Mississippi
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Mississippi table, at 38,400 jobs. Ship Engineers has 140 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 1,163,030. 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 Ship Engineers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 38,400 jobs in Mississippi, a gap of 38,260 from Ship Engineers. Its median is $28,640 per year, or $69,740 below Ship Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.32.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 31,220 jobs in Mississippi, a gap of 31,080 from Ship Engineers. Its median is $22,610 per year, or $75,770 below Ship Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.08.
3. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 30,750 jobs in Mississippi, a gap of 30,610 from Ship Engineers. Its median is $36,400 per year, or $61,980 below Ship Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.39.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Mississippi
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Mississippi role table, at $106,680 per year. Ship Engineers has $98,380 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $40,120 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 $106,680 per year in Mississippi, or $8,300 above Ship Engineers. BLS lists 10,630 jobs, compared with 140 for Ship Engineers. Its location quotient is 0.41.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $77,090 per year in Mississippi, or $21,290 below Ship Engineers. BLS lists 29,060 jobs, compared with 140 for Ship Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.15.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has a median of $58,380 per year in Mississippi, or $40,000 below Ship Engineers. BLS lists 13,680 jobs, compared with 140 for Ship Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.27.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Mississippi
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Mississippi role table, at 2.33. Ship Engineers has 2.16. 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 Ship Engineers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 2.33 in Mississippi, a gap of 0.17 from Ship Engineers. BLS lists 11,170 jobs and a median of $22,670 per year, or $75,710 below Ship Engineers.
2. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has a location quotient of 2.03 in Mississippi, a gap of 0.13 from Ship Engineers. BLS lists 9,850 jobs and a median of $50,220 per year, or $48,160 below Ship Engineers.
3. Shipping, Receiving, and Inventory Clerks has a location quotient of 1.85 in Mississippi, a gap of 0.31 from Ship Engineers. BLS lists 11,330 jobs and a median of $38,620 per year, or $59,760 below Ship Engineers.
Price-level view
What $98,380 may mean after the Mississippi price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Mississippi is 87.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 13.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $98,380 Ship Engineers median by 87.0 divided by 100. The result is $113,142 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 56.5. Goods are 96.2. Utilities are 78.4. Other services are 96.1. 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 Ship Engineers row is 24.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.2%. 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 140 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $96,910 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 Ship Engineers. It uses a Mississippi 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $98,380 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 Ship Engineers row for Mississippi 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 140 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.16 is not a growth score. Rank 14 of 25 is not a place score. The 87.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 53-5031 in BLS area 28. 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.
