Iowa was 8.0% below the U.S. median for Upholsterers. It ranked 27 of 42 state areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
Price-level context
What the local median may buy
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Iowa was 87.8, or 12.2% below the national price level. Its housing index was 65.3.

WageScope divides the published Upholsterers 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 51-6093 and BLS area 19.
Questions, answered
Upholsterers pay in Iowa: common questions
What is the median wage for Upholsterers in Iowa?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $42,610 per year for Upholsterers in Iowa. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Upholsterers pay higher in Iowa than nationally?
Iowa's published median was 8.0% below 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.
How many Upholsterers jobs does BLS estimate in Iowa?
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.

Pick an eligible listing, then MeritLog can help you prepare from experience you have confirmed. WageScope never turns a BLS estimate into a qualification or résumé claim.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Upholsterers median in Iowa at $42,610 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 51-6093 and BLS area 19.
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 $43,020 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Iowa's Upholsterers median is 8.0% below the U.S. Upholsterers median of $46,340 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 51-6093 and area 19. SOC 51-6093 names Upholsterers. Area 19 names Iowa. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-6093/19 row reports 80 wage and salary jobs, 0.05 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.38 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-6093/19, the annual median is $42,610 per year, while the matching mean is $43,020 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
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 51-6093 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 Upholsterers.
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 Upholsterers.
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.
3. Area 19, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 40,290 jobs, $28,390 annual median, 25.84 jobs per 1,000, and 1.04 location quotient.
4. Area 19, SOC 53-3032, Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers: 35,040 jobs, $58,070 annual median, 22.47 jobs per 1,000, and 1.69 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Iowa wage ladder for Upholsterers
The 10th percentile is $31,660 per year. The 25th percentile is $32,770 per year. The median is $42,610 per year. The 75th percentile is $51,310 per year. The 90th percentile is $52,980 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 $32,770 per year to $51,310 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $21,320. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Iowa has a annual median of $42,610 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $46,340 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Iowa. Iowa is 8.0% 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.
Iowa ranks 27 of 42 among states and territories with a published annual median for Upholsterers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 27 of 42 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.
24. Texas has a Upholsterers median of $42,930 per year, 710 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.39.
25. Pennsylvania has a Upholsterers median of $42,860 per year, 280 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.35.
26. New Jersey has a Upholsterers median of $42,640 per year, 410 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.74.
28. Illinois has a Upholsterers median of $42,450 per year, 250 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.32.
29. Colorado has a Upholsterers median of $42,240 per year, 160 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.42.
Pay leaders
Where Upholsterers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 51-6093, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Rhode Island has the highest published median in this set, at $63,360 per year. Iowa sits at $42,610 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Upholsterers 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. Rhode Island has a Upholsterers median of $63,360 per year, or $20,750 above Iowa. BLS lists 30 jobs there, compared with 80 in Iowa. The location quotient is 0.52.
2. Hawaii has a Upholsterers median of $57,390 per year, or $14,780 above Iowa. BLS lists 30 jobs there, compared with 80 in Iowa. The location quotient is 0.4.
3. Washington has a Upholsterers median of $55,970 per year, or $13,360 above Iowa. BLS lists 200 jobs there, compared with 80 in Iowa. The location quotient is 0.43.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Upholsterers jobs
North Carolina has the largest published state job estimate for Upholsterers in this same-source set, at 4,050 jobs. Iowa 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. North Carolina has 4,050 estimated Upholsterers jobs, a gap of 3,970 jobs from Iowa. Its median is $50,600 per year, or $7,990 above Iowa. Its location quotient is 6.33.
2. Mississippi has 2,410 estimated Upholsterers jobs, a gap of 2,330 jobs from Iowa. Its median is $44,930 per year, or $2,320 above Iowa. Its location quotient is 16.01.
3. California has 1,640 estimated Upholsterers jobs, a gap of 1,560 jobs from Iowa. Its median is $48,580 per year, or $5,970 above Iowa. Its location quotient is 0.7.
Local-share leaders
Where Upholsterers takes the largest share of local jobs
Mississippi has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 16.01. Iowa has 0.38. 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 Upholsterers 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. Mississippi has a location quotient of 16.01, a gap of 15.63 from Iowa. BLS lists 2,410 Upholsterers jobs and a median of $44,930 per year, or $2,320 above Iowa.
2. North Carolina has a location quotient of 6.33, a gap of 5.95 from Iowa. BLS lists 4,050 Upholsterers jobs and a median of $50,600 per year, or $7,990 above Iowa.
3. Indiana has a location quotient of 3.37, a gap of 2.99 from Iowa. BLS lists 1,400 Upholsterers jobs and a median of $45,080 per year, or $2,470 above Iowa.
Job scale and share
How common Upholsterers is in Iowa
BLS lists 80 Upholsterers jobs in Iowa. It also lists 0.05 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 0.38. A value of 1 means Upholsterers 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.
The all-occupations median in Iowa is $48,540 per year. The Upholsterers median is $42,610 per year. Upholsterers is 12.2% 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 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 Upholsterers. 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. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Iowa median of $43,490 per year. BLS lists 30,890 jobs and a location quotient of 1.04.
2. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, SOC 43-6013, has a Iowa median of $40,980 per year. BLS lists 10,560 jobs and a location quotient of 1.1.
3. Office Clerks, General, SOC 43-9061, has a Iowa median of $44,310 per year. BLS lists 23,120 jobs and a location quotient of 0.94.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Iowa
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Iowa table, at 41,450 jobs. Upholsterers 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 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 Upholsterers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 41,450 jobs in Iowa, a gap of 41,370 from Upholsterers. Its median is $28,970 per year, or $13,640 below Upholsterers. Its location quotient is 1.34.
2. Retail Salespersons has 41,000 jobs in Iowa, a gap of 40,920 from Upholsterers. Its median is $31,360 per year, or $11,250 below Upholsterers. Its location quotient is 1.05.
3. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 40,290 jobs in Iowa, a gap of 40,210 from Upholsterers. Its median is $28,390 per year, or $14,220 below Upholsterers. Its location quotient is 1.04.
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. Upholsterers has $42,610 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 $45,080 above Upholsterers. BLS lists 30,760 jobs, compared with 80 for Upholsterers. Its location quotient is 0.88.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $78,630 per year in Iowa, or $36,020 above Upholsterers. BLS lists 34,420 jobs, compared with 80 for Upholsterers. Its location quotient is 1.02.
3. Accountants and Auditors has a median of $77,440 per year in Iowa, or $34,830 above Upholsterers. BLS lists 13,210 jobs, compared with 80 for Upholsterers. Its location quotient is 0.91.
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. Upholsterers has 0.38. 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 Upholsterers 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 1.34 from Upholsterers. BLS lists 24,520 jobs and a median of $30,510 per year, or $12,100 below Upholsterers.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has a location quotient of 1.69 in Iowa, a gap of 1.31 from Upholsterers. BLS lists 35,040 jobs and a median of $58,070 per year, or $15,460 above Upholsterers.
3. Nursing Assistants has a location quotient of 1.56 in Iowa, a gap of 1.18 from Upholsterers. BLS lists 22,670 jobs and a median of $39,350 per year, or $3,260 below Upholsterers.
Price-level view
What $42,610 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 $42,610 Upholsterers median by 87.8 divided by 100. The result is $48,552 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 Upholsterers row is 30.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 8.4%. 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 $43,020 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 Upholsterers. 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 $42,610 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.
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 0.38 is not a growth score. Rank 27 of 42 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 51-6093 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.
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.
