What the Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median says in California
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median in California at $45,730 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 43-5111 and BLS area 06.
BLS lists 7,510 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 $48,330 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
California's Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median is 1.4% below the U.S. Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median of $46,380 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 43-5111 and area 06. SOC 43-5111 names Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. Area 06 names California. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-5111/06 row reports 7,510 wage and salary jobs, 0.41 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.2 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-5111/06, the annual median is $45,730 per year, while the matching mean is $48,330 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 06 facts behind this Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping page
Area 06 reports 18,213,700 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $80,690. Its annual median is $58,240. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-5111 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in California runs from $35,950 at the 10th percentile to $159,080 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $41,600. The median is $58,240. The 75th percentile is $97,880. This is a place check, not a pay range for Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping.
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 06. They do not show related skills or a path into Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping.
1. Area 06, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 970,150 jobs, $34,320 annual median, 53.27 jobs per 1,000, and 1.92 location quotient.
2. Area 06, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 449,840 jobs, $42,280 annual median, 24.7 jobs per 1,000, and 1 location quotient.
3. Area 06, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 376,460 jobs, $38,440 annual median, 20.67 jobs per 1,000, and 0.82 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the California wage ladder for Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping
The 10th percentile is $37,490 per year. The 25th percentile is $40,430 per year. The median is $45,730 per year. The 75th percentile is $56,300 per year. The 90th percentile is $59,990 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 $40,430 per year to $56,300 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $22,500. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
California has a annual median of $45,730 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $46,380 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for California. California is 1.4% 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.
Where California sits for Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping
California ranks 34 of 50 among states and territories with a published annual median for Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 34 of 50 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.
31. Alaska has a Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median of $45,760 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.3.
32. Kansas has a Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median of $45,760 per year, 670 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.37.
33. South Carolina has a Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median of $45,760 per year, 940 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.19.
Pay leaders
Where Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 43-5111, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Wyoming has the highest published median in this set, at $62,840 per year. California sits at $45,730 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping 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. Wyoming has a Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median of $62,840 per year, or $17,110 above California. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 7,510 in California. The location quotient is 0.58.
2. Indiana has a Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median of $57,210 per year, or $11,480 above California. BLS lists 2,590 jobs there, compared with 7,510 in California. The location quotient is 2.36.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping in this same-source set, at 7,510 jobs. California has 7,510. 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 7,510 estimated Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from California. Its median is $45,730 per year, or $0 above California. Its location quotient is 1.2.
2. Texas has 4,460 estimated Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping jobs, a gap of 3,050 jobs from California. Its median is $47,710 per year, or $1,980 above California. Its location quotient is 0.93.
Local-share leaders
Where Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping takes the largest share of local jobs
Arkansas has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.47. California has 1.2. 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 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping 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. Arkansas has a location quotient of 2.47, a gap of 1.27 from California. BLS lists 1,100 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping jobs and a median of $45,490 per year, or $240 below California.
2. Indiana has a location quotient of 2.36, a gap of 1.16 from California. BLS lists 2,590 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping jobs and a median of $57,210 per year, or $11,480 above California.
Job scale and share
How common Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping is in California
BLS lists 7,510 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping jobs in California. It also lists 0.41 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 1.2. A value of 1 means Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping 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.
Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping beside other roles in California
The all-occupations median in California is $58,240 per year. The Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median is $45,730 per year. Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping is 21.5% 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 California. 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 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. 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. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary, SOC 25-9045, has a California median of $46,490 per year. BLS lists 177,140 jobs and a location quotient of 1.06.
2. Cooks, Restaurant, SOC 35-2014, has a California median of $44,880 per year. BLS lists 152,250 jobs and a location quotient of 0.92.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in California
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded California table, at 970,150 jobs. Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping has 7,510 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 18,213,700. 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 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 970,150 jobs in California, a gap of 962,640 from Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. Its median is $34,320 per year, or $11,410 below Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. Its location quotient is 1.92.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 449,840 jobs in California, a gap of 442,330 from Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. Its median is $42,280 per year, or $3,450 below Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. Its location quotient is 1.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around California
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded California role table, at $174,410 per year. Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping has $45,730 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $58,240 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 $174,410 per year in California, or $128,680 above Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. BLS lists 284,390 jobs, compared with 7,510 for Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. Its location quotient is 1.44.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $140,270 per year in California, or $94,540 above Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. BLS lists 338,940 jobs, compared with 7,510 for Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. Its location quotient is 0.86.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in California
Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has the highest location quotient in the bounded California role table, at 5.54. Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping has 1.2. 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 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has a location quotient of 5.54 in California, a gap of 4.34 from Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. BLS lists 172,260 jobs and a median of $35,580 per year, or $10,150 below Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.92 in California, a gap of 0.72 from Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. BLS lists 970,150 jobs and a median of $34,320 per year, or $11,410 below Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping.
Price-level view
What $45,730 may mean after the California price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for California is 110.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.7% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $45,730 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping median by 110.7 divided by 100. The result is $41,302 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 154.3. Goods are 106.1. Utilities are 158.9. Other services are 102.6. 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 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping row is 7.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1%. 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 7,510 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $48,330 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 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping. It uses a California 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 $45,730 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 Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping row for California 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 7,510 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.2 is not a growth score. Rank 34 of 50 is not a place score. The 110.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-5111 in BLS area 06. 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 7,510 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.
