WageScope divides the published Soil and Plant Scientists 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 19-1013 and BLS area 31.
Questions, answered
Soil and Plant Scientists pay in Nebraska: common questions
What is the median wage for Soil and Plant Scientists in Nebraska?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $77,500 per year for Soil and Plant Scientists in Nebraska. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Soil and Plant Scientists pay higher in Nebraska than nationally?
Nebraska's published median was 1.7% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Nebraska?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 90.1 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Soil and Plant Scientists median says in Nebraska
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Soil and Plant Scientists median in Nebraska at $77,500 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 19-1013 and BLS area 31.
BLS lists 640 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 $76,950 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Nebraska's Soil and Plant Scientists median is 1.7% below the U.S. Soil and Plant Scientists median of $78,850 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 19-1013 and area 31. SOC 19-1013 names Soil and Plant Scientists. Area 31 names Nebraska. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-1013/31 row reports 640 wage and salary jobs, 0.63 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 6.18 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-1013/31, the annual median is $77,500 per year, while the matching mean is $76,950 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 31 facts behind this Soil and Plant Scientists page
Area 31 reports 1,024,370 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $62,400. Its annual median is $48,980. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-1013 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Nebraska runs from $30,120 at the 10th percentile to $103,110 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,370. The median is $48,980. The 75th percentile is $73,830. This is a place check, not a pay range for Soil and Plant Scientists.
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 31. They do not show related skills or a path into Soil and Plant Scientists.
1. Area 31, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 30,060 jobs, $29,000 annual median, 29.34 jobs per 1,000, and 1.18 location quotient.
2. Area 31, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 24,720 jobs, $84,730 annual median, 24.14 jobs per 1,000, and 1.11 location quotient.
3. Area 31, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 24,030 jobs, $85,090 annual median, 23.46 jobs per 1,000, and 1.04 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Nebraska wage ladder for Soil and Plant Scientists
The 10th percentile is $40,030 per year. The 25th percentile is $51,630 per year. The median is $77,500 per year. The 75th percentile is $93,680 per year. The 90th percentile is $121,060 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 $51,630 per year to $93,680 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $81,030. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Nebraska has a annual median of $77,500 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $78,850 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Nebraska. Nebraska is 1.7% 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.
Nebraska ranks 19 of 47 among states and territories with a published annual median for Soil and Plant Scientists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 19 of 47 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.
16. South Carolina has a Soil and Plant Scientists median of $78,850 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.4.
17. Maine has a Soil and Plant Scientists median of $78,250 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.51.
18. New York has a Soil and Plant Scientists median of $77,800 per year, 260 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.26.
20. North Carolina has a Soil and Plant Scientists median of $76,330 per year, 570 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.14.
Pay leaders
Where Soil and Plant Scientists medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 19-1013, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. District of Columbia has the highest published median in this set, at $107,140 per year. Nebraska sits at $77,500 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Soil and Plant Scientists 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. District of Columbia has a Soil and Plant Scientists median of $107,140 per year, or $29,640 above Nebraska. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 640 in Nebraska. The location quotient is 0.79.
2. Florida has a Soil and Plant Scientists median of $103,240 per year, or $25,740 above Nebraska. BLS lists 270 jobs there, compared with 640 in Nebraska. The location quotient is 0.27.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Soil and Plant Scientists jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Soil and Plant Scientists in this same-source set, at 1,440 jobs. Nebraska has 640. 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 1,440 estimated Soil and Plant Scientists jobs, a gap of 800 jobs from Nebraska. Its median is $91,930 per year, or $14,430 above Nebraska. Its location quotient is 0.78.
2. Iowa has 960 estimated Soil and Plant Scientists jobs, a gap of 320 jobs from Nebraska. Its median is $96,310 per year, or $18,810 above Nebraska. Its location quotient is 6.07.
3. Illinois has 820 estimated Soil and Plant Scientists jobs, a gap of 180 jobs from Nebraska. Its median is $79,490 per year, or $1,990 above Nebraska. Its location quotient is 1.33.
Local-share leaders
Where Soil and Plant Scientists takes the largest share of local jobs
South Dakota has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 10.32. Nebraska has 6.18. 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 Soil and Plant Scientists 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. South Dakota has a location quotient of 10.32, a gap of 4.14 from Nebraska. BLS lists 480 Soil and Plant Scientists jobs and a median of $73,590 per year, or $3,910 below Nebraska.
2. North Dakota has a location quotient of 9.5, a gap of 3.32 from Nebraska. BLS lists 410 Soil and Plant Scientists jobs and a median of $65,320 per year, or $12,180 below Nebraska.
3. Idaho has a location quotient of 6.19, a gap of 0.01 from Nebraska. BLS lists 540 Soil and Plant Scientists jobs and a median of $95,150 per year, or $17,650 above Nebraska.
Job scale and share
How common Soil and Plant Scientists is in Nebraska
BLS lists 640 Soil and Plant Scientists jobs in Nebraska. 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 6.18. A value of 1 means Soil and Plant Scientists 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.
Soil and Plant Scientists beside other roles in Nebraska
The all-occupations median in Nebraska is $48,980 per year. The Soil and Plant Scientists median is $77,500 per year. Soil and Plant Scientists is 58.2% 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 Nebraska. 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 Soil and Plant Scientists. 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. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a Nebraska median of $72,080 per year. BLS lists 10,340 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Nebraska median of $84,730 per year. BLS lists 24,720 jobs and a location quotient of 1.11.
3. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Nebraska median of $85,090 per year. BLS lists 24,030 jobs and a location quotient of 1.04.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Nebraska
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Nebraska table, at 30,060 jobs. Soil and Plant Scientists has 640 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 1,024,370. 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 Soil and Plant Scientists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 30,060 jobs in Nebraska, a gap of 29,420 from Soil and Plant Scientists. Its median is $29,000 per year, or $48,500 below Soil and Plant Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.18.
2. Registered Nurses has 24,720 jobs in Nebraska, a gap of 24,080 from Soil and Plant Scientists. Its median is $84,730 per year, or $7,230 above Soil and Plant Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Nebraska
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Nebraska role table, at $110,900 per year. Soil and Plant Scientists has $77,500 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,980 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. Software Developers has a median of $110,900 per year in Nebraska, or $33,400 above Soil and Plant Scientists. BLS lists 7,260 jobs, compared with 640 for Soil and Plant Scientists. Its location quotient is 0.65.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $85,090 per year in Nebraska, or $7,590 above Soil and Plant Scientists. BLS lists 24,030 jobs, compared with 640 for Soil and Plant Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.04.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $84,730 per year in Nebraska, or $7,230 above Soil and Plant Scientists. BLS lists 24,720 jobs, compared with 640 for Soil and Plant Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Nebraska
Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Nebraska role table, at 8.69. Soil and Plant Scientists has 6.18. 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 Soil and Plant Scientists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers has a location quotient of 8.69 in Nebraska, a gap of 2.51 from Soil and Plant Scientists. BLS lists 8,340 jobs and a median of $47,580 per year, or $29,920 below Soil and Plant Scientists.
2. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 2.75 in Nebraska, a gap of 3.43 from Soil and Plant Scientists. BLS lists 9,390 jobs and a median of $30,740 per year, or $46,760 below Soil and Plant Scientists.
Price-level view
What $77,500 may mean after the Nebraska price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Nebraska is 90.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $77,500 Soil and Plant Scientists median by 90.1 divided by 100. The result is $86,013 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 75.2. Goods are 94.1. Utilities are 75.6. Other services are 93.0. 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 Soil and Plant Scientists row is 13.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.2%. 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 640 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $76,950 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 Soil and Plant Scientists. It uses a Nebraska 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 $77,500 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 Soil and Plant Scientists row for Nebraska 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 640 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 6.18 is not a growth score. Rank 19 of 47 is not a place score. The 90.1 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 19-1013 in BLS area 31. 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 640 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.
