What the Slaughterers and Meat Packers median says in Montana
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Slaughterers and Meat Packers median in Montana at $46,700 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 51-3023 and BLS area 30.
BLS lists 80 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 $46,130 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Montana's Slaughterers and Meat Packers median is 16.4% above the U.S. Slaughterers and Meat Packers median of $40,130 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 51-3023 and area 30. SOC 51-3023 names Slaughterers and Meat Packers. Area 30 names Montana. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-3023/30 row reports 80 wage and salary jobs, 0.15 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.33 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-3023/30, the annual median is $46,700 per year, while the matching mean is $46,130 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 30 facts behind this Slaughterers and Meat Packers page
Area 30 reports 511,580 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,880. Its annual median is $48,740. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-3023 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Montana runs from $29,390 at the 10th percentile to $100,610 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,210. The median is $48,740. The 75th percentile is $72,640. This is a place check, not a pay range for Slaughterers and Meat Packers.
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 30. They do not show related skills or a path into Slaughterers and Meat Packers.
1. Area 30, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 14,960 jobs, $29,090 annual median, 29.24 jobs per 1,000, and 1.18 location quotient.
2. Area 30, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 13,490 jobs, $36,270 annual median, 26.36 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Montana wage ladder for Slaughterers and Meat Packers
The 10th percentile is $37,450 per year. The 25th percentile is $43,410 per year. The median is $46,700 per year. The 75th percentile is $48,860 per year. The 90th percentile is $53,680 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 $43,410 per year to $48,860 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $16,230. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Montana has a annual median of $46,700 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $40,130 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Montana. Montana is 16.4% 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.
Where Montana sits for Slaughterers and Meat Packers
Montana ranks 5 of 48 among states and territories with a published annual median for Slaughterers and Meat Packers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 5 of 48 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.
2. Arizona has a Slaughterers and Meat Packers median of $49,020 per year, 440 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.3.
3. Nebraska has a Slaughterers and Meat Packers median of $48,910 per year, 5,480 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 11.89.
4. Kansas has a Slaughterers and Meat Packers median of $48,240 per year, 2,170 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.36.
6. South Carolina has a Slaughterers and Meat Packers median of $46,000 per year, 250 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.24.
Pay leaders
Where Slaughterers and Meat Packers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 51-3023, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Colorado has the highest published median in this set, at $50,480 per year. Montana sits at $46,700 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Slaughterers and Meat Packers 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. Colorado has a Slaughterers and Meat Packers median of $50,480 per year, or $3,780 above Montana. BLS lists 1,590 jobs there, compared with 80 in Montana. The location quotient is 1.23.
2. Arizona has a Slaughterers and Meat Packers median of $49,020 per year, or $2,320 above Montana. BLS lists 440 jobs there, compared with 80 in Montana. The location quotient is 0.3.
3. Nebraska has a Slaughterers and Meat Packers median of $48,910 per year, or $2,210 above Montana. BLS lists 5,480 jobs there, compared with 80 in Montana. The location quotient is 11.89.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Slaughterers and Meat Packers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Slaughterers and Meat Packers in this same-source set, at 6,170 jobs. Montana has 80. 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 6,170 estimated Slaughterers and Meat Packers jobs, a gap of 6,090 jobs from Montana. Its median is $39,420 per year, or $7,280 below Montana. Its location quotient is 0.75.
2. North Carolina has 6,120 estimated Slaughterers and Meat Packers jobs, a gap of 6,040 jobs from Montana. Its median is $39,930 per year, or $6,770 below Montana. Its location quotient is 2.75.
Local-share leaders
Where Slaughterers and Meat Packers takes the largest share of local jobs
Nebraska has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 11.89. Montana has 0.33. 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 Slaughterers and Meat Packers 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. Nebraska has a location quotient of 11.89, a gap of 11.56 from Montana. BLS lists 5,480 Slaughterers and Meat Packers jobs and a median of $48,910 per year, or $2,210 above Montana.
2. Iowa has a location quotient of 6.02, a gap of 5.69 from Montana. BLS lists 4,220 Slaughterers and Meat Packers jobs and a median of $43,820 per year, or $2,880 below Montana.
3. Arkansas has a location quotient of 3.64, a gap of 3.31 from Montana. BLS lists 2,140 Slaughterers and Meat Packers jobs and a median of $37,800 per year, or $8,900 below Montana.
Job scale and share
How common Slaughterers and Meat Packers is in Montana
BLS lists 80 Slaughterers and Meat Packers jobs in Montana. It also lists 0.15 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 0.33. A value of 1 means Slaughterers and Meat Packers 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.
Slaughterers and Meat Packers beside other roles in Montana
The all-occupations median in Montana is $48,740 per year. The Slaughterers and Meat Packers median is $46,700 per year. Slaughterers and Meat Packers is 4.2% 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 Montana. 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 Slaughterers and Meat Packers. 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. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Montana median of $46,870 per year. BLS lists 5,420 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
2. Office Clerks, General, SOC 43-9061, has a Montana median of $46,480 per year. BLS lists 10,390 jobs and a location quotient of 1.28.
3. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Montana median of $47,270 per year. BLS lists 6,980 jobs and a location quotient of 1.54.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Montana
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Montana table, at 14,960 jobs. Slaughterers and Meat Packers has 80 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 511,580. 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 Slaughterers and Meat Packers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 14,960 jobs in Montana, a gap of 14,880 from Slaughterers and Meat Packers. Its median is $29,090 per year, or $17,610 below Slaughterers and Meat Packers. Its location quotient is 1.18.
2. Retail Salespersons has 13,490 jobs in Montana, a gap of 13,410 from Slaughterers and Meat Packers. Its median is $36,270 per year, or $10,430 below Slaughterers and Meat Packers. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Montana
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Montana role table, at $91,380 per year. Slaughterers and Meat Packers has $46,700 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,740 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 $91,380 per year in Montana, or $44,680 above Slaughterers and Meat Packers. BLS lists 11,840 jobs, compared with 80 for Slaughterers and Meat Packers. Its location quotient is 1.03.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $85,280 per year in Montana, or $38,580 above Slaughterers and Meat Packers. BLS lists 10,950 jobs, compared with 80 for Slaughterers and Meat Packers. Its location quotient is 0.99.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Montana
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Montana role table, at 2.16. Slaughterers and Meat Packers has 0.33. 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 Slaughterers and Meat Packers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Bartenders has a location quotient of 2.16 in Montana, a gap of 1.83 from Slaughterers and Meat Packers. BLS lists 5,370 jobs and a median of $26,010 per year, or $20,690 below Slaughterers and Meat Packers.
2. Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has a location quotient of 1.9 in Montana, a gap of 1.57 from Slaughterers and Meat Packers. BLS lists 5,380 jobs and a median of $35,740 per year, or $10,960 below Slaughterers and Meat Packers.
3. Carpenters has a location quotient of 1.83 in Montana, a gap of 1.50 from Slaughterers and Meat Packers. BLS lists 4,030 jobs and a median of $58,820 per year, or $12,120 above Slaughterers and Meat Packers.
Price-level view
What $46,700 may mean after the Montana price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Montana is 94.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $46,700 Slaughterers and Meat Packers median by 94.6 divided by 100. The result is $49,342 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 84.6. Goods are 96.0. Utilities are 72.3. Other services are 98.7. 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 Slaughterers and Meat Packers row is 22.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.7%. 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 80 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $46,130 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 Slaughterers and Meat Packers. It uses a Montana 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 $46,700 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 Slaughterers and Meat Packers row for Montana 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 80 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.33 is not a growth score. Rank 5 of 48 is not a place score. The 94.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-3023 in BLS area 30. 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 80 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.
