Questions, answered
Structural Iron and Steel Workers pay in Iowa: common questions
What is the median wage for Structural Iron and Steel Workers in Iowa?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $77,400 per year for Structural Iron and Steel Workers in Iowa. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Structural Iron and Steel Workers pay higher in Iowa than nationally?
Iowa's published median was 23.3% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Iowa?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 87.8 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Structural Iron and Steel Workers median says in Iowa
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Structural Iron and Steel Workers median in Iowa at $77,400 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 47-2221 and BLS area 19.
BLS lists Not published 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 $73,110 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Iowa's Structural Iron and Steel Workers median is 23.3% above the U.S. Structural Iron and Steel Workers median of $62,780 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 47-2221 and area 19. SOC 47-2221 names Structural Iron and Steel Workers. Area 19 names Iowa. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2221/19 row reports Not published wage and salary jobs, Not published jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a Not published location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2221/19, the annual median is $77,400 per year, while the matching mean is $73,110 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
47-2221/19 10th percentile: $59,120 per year.
47-2221/19 25th percentile: $65,160 per year.

BLS area 19 facts behind this Structural Iron and Steel Workers page
Area 19 reports 1,559,240 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $59,830. Its annual median is $48,540. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2221 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Iowa runs from $28,930 at the 10th percentile to $99,630 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,570. The median is $48,540. The 75th percentile is $70,290. This is a place check, not a pay range for Structural Iron and Steel Workers.
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 19. They do not show related skills or a path into Structural Iron and Steel Workers.
1. Area 19, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 41,450 jobs, $28,970 annual median, 26.58 jobs per 1,000, and 1.34 location quotient.
2. Area 19, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 41,000 jobs, $31,360 annual median, 26.29 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Iowa wage ladder for Structural Iron and Steel Workers
The 10th percentile is $59,120 per year. The 25th percentile is $65,160 per year. The median is $77,400 per year. The 75th percentile is $80,080 per year. The 90th percentile is $81,240 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 $65,160 per year to $80,080 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $22,120. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Iowa has a annual median of $77,400 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $62,780 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Iowa. Iowa is 23.3% 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 Iowa sits for Structural Iron and Steel Workers
Iowa ranks 14 of 52 among states and territories with a published annual median for Structural Iron and Steel Workers. 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 52 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. Pennsylvania has a Structural Iron and Steel Workers median of $82,970 per year, 1,610 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.6.
12. North Dakota has a Structural Iron and Steel Workers median of $82,120 per year, 270 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.42.
13. Missouri has a Structural Iron and Steel Workers median of $77,410 per year, 1,320 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.02.
15. Alaska has a Structural Iron and Steel Workers median of $76,970 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.82.
Pay leaders
Where Structural Iron and Steel Workers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2221, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Massachusetts has the highest published median in this set, at $120,840 per year. Iowa sits at $77,400 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Structural Iron and Steel Workers 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. Massachusetts has a Structural Iron and Steel Workers median of $120,840 per year, or $43,440 above Iowa. BLS lists 2,050 jobs there, compared with Not published in Iowa. The location quotient is 1.28.
2. New Jersey has a Structural Iron and Steel Workers median of $113,220 per year, or $35,820 above Iowa. BLS lists 1,060 jobs there, compared with Not published in Iowa. The location quotient is 0.56.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Structural Iron and Steel Workers jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Structural Iron and Steel Workers in this same-source set, at 9,700 jobs. Iowa has Not published. 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. Texas has 9,700 estimated Structural Iron and Steel Workers jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Iowa. Its median is $52,240 per year, or $25,160 below Iowa. Its location quotient is 1.57.
2. California has 7,110 estimated Structural Iron and Steel Workers jobs, a gap of not available jobs from Iowa. Its median is $76,370 per year, or $1,030 below Iowa. Its location quotient is 0.89.
Local-share leaders
Where Structural Iron and Steel Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
Guam (territory) has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 5.27. Iowa has Not published. 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 Structural Iron and Steel Workers 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. Guam (territory) has a location quotient of 5.27, a gap of not available from Iowa. BLS lists 150 Structural Iron and Steel Workers jobs and a median of $33,660 per year, or $43,740 below Iowa.
2. Arizona has a location quotient of 2.8, a gap of not available from Iowa. BLS lists 3,980 Structural Iron and Steel Workers jobs and a median of $59,390 per year, or $18,010 below Iowa.
3. South Dakota has a location quotient of 2.18, a gap of not available from Iowa. BLS lists 440 Structural Iron and Steel Workers jobs and a median of $57,050 per year, or $20,350 below Iowa.
Job scale and share
How common Structural Iron and Steel Workers is in Iowa
BLS lists Not published Structural Iron and Steel Workers jobs in Iowa. It also lists Not published 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 Not published. A value of 1 means Structural Iron and Steel Workers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is not available for a share check. 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.
Structural Iron and Steel Workers beside other roles in Iowa
The all-occupations median in Iowa is $48,540 per year. The Structural Iron and Steel Workers median is $77,400 per year. Structural Iron and Steel Workers is 59.5% 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 Iowa. 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 Structural Iron and Steel Workers. 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 Iowa median of $77,440 per year. BLS lists 13,210 jobs and a location quotient of 0.91.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Iowa median of $78,630 per year. BLS lists 34,420 jobs and a location quotient of 1.02.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers, SOC 51-1011, has a Iowa median of $74,750 per year. BLS lists 10,130 jobs and a location quotient of 1.5.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Iowa
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Iowa table, at 41,450 jobs. Structural Iron and Steel Workers has Not published 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 1,559,240. 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 Structural Iron and Steel Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 41,450 jobs in Iowa, a gap of not available from Structural Iron and Steel Workers. Its median is $28,970 per year, or $48,430 below Structural Iron and Steel Workers. Its location quotient is 1.34.
2. Retail Salespersons has 41,000 jobs in Iowa, a gap of not available from Structural Iron and Steel Workers. Its median is $31,360 per year, or $46,040 below Structural Iron and Steel Workers. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Iowa
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Iowa role table, at $87,690 per year. Structural Iron and Steel Workers has $77,400 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,540 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 $87,690 per year in Iowa, or $10,290 above Structural Iron and Steel Workers. BLS lists 30,760 jobs, compared with Not published for Structural Iron and Steel Workers. Its location quotient is 0.88.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $78,630 per year in Iowa, or $1,230 above Structural Iron and Steel Workers. BLS lists 34,420 jobs, compared with Not published for Structural Iron and Steel Workers. Its location quotient is 1.02.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Iowa
Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary has the highest location quotient in the bounded Iowa role table, at 1.72. Structural Iron and Steel Workers has Not published. 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 Structural Iron and Steel Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary has a location quotient of 1.72 in Iowa, a gap of not available from Structural Iron and Steel Workers. BLS lists 24,520 jobs and a median of $30,510 per year, or $46,890 below Structural Iron and Steel Workers.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has a location quotient of 1.69 in Iowa, a gap of not available from Structural Iron and Steel Workers. BLS lists 35,040 jobs and a median of $58,070 per year, or $19,330 below Structural Iron and Steel Workers.
Price-level view
What $77,400 may mean after the Iowa price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Iowa is 87.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 12.2% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $77,400 Structural Iron and Steel Workers median by 87.8 divided by 100. The result is $88,193 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 65.3. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 83.3. Other services are 92.9. 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 Structural Iron and Steel Workers row is Not published. The mean-wage RSE is 4.6%. 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 Not published job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $73,110 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 Structural Iron and Steel Workers. It uses a Iowa 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 $77,400 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 Structural Iron and Steel Workers row for Iowa 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 Not published job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of Not published is not a growth score. Rank 14 of 52 is not a place score. The 87.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-2221 in BLS area 19. 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 Not published 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.
