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 51-4121 and BLS area 23.
Questions, answered
Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers pay in Maine: common questions
What is the median wage for Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers in Maine?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $62,220 per year for Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers in Maine. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers pay higher in Maine than nationally?
Maine's published median was 15.8% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Maine?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 97.0 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median says in Maine
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median in Maine at $62,220 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 51-4121 and BLS area 23.
BLS lists 1,690 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 $61,930 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Maine's Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median is 15.8% above the U.S. Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median of $53,750 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 51-4121 and area 23. SOC 51-4121 names Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. Area 23 names Maine. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-4121/23 row reports 1,690 wage and salary jobs, 2.65 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.99 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-4121/23, the annual median is $62,220 per year, while the matching mean is $61,930 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 23 facts behind this Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers page
Area 23 reports 640,610 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $65,780. Its annual median is $51,430. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-4121 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Maine runs from $35,140 at the 10th percentile to $105,510 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $40,120. The median is $51,430. The 75th percentile is $76,230. This is a place check, not a pay range for Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers.
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 23. They do not show related skills or a path into Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers.
1. Area 23, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 18,630 jobs, $38,580 annual median, 29.08 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
2. Area 23, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 18,450 jobs, $36,640 annual median, 28.8 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
3. Area 23, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 17,250 jobs, $34,710 annual median, 26.93 jobs per 1,000, and 1.09 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Maine wage ladder for Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers
The 10th percentile is $47,230 per year. The 25th percentile is $51,800 per year. The median is $62,220 per year. The 75th percentile is $69,130 per year. The 90th percentile is $76,220 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 $51,800 per year to $69,130 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $28,990. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Maine has a annual median of $62,220 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $53,750 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Maine. Maine is 15.8% 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 Maine sits for Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers
Maine ranks 9 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 9 of 54 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.
6. Massachusetts has a Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median of $62,570 per year, 2,830 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.29.
7. New Hampshire has a Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median of $62,360 per year, 1,110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.61.
8. Louisiana has a Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median of $62,250 per year, 13,690 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.64.
10. North Dakota has a Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median of $62,000 per year, 2,590 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.26.
Pay leaders
Where Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 51-4121, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Alaska has the highest published median in this set, at $80,840 per year. Maine sits at $62,220 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers 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. Alaska has a Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median of $80,840 per year, or $18,620 above Maine. BLS lists 790 jobs there, compared with 1,690 in Maine. The location quotient is 0.9.
2. Hawaii has a Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median of $79,000 per year, or $16,780 above Maine. BLS lists 520 jobs there, compared with 1,690 in Maine. The location quotient is 0.31.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers in this same-source set, at 52,000 jobs. Maine has 1,690. 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 52,000 estimated Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers jobs, a gap of 50,310 jobs from Maine. Its median is $53,340 per year, or $8,880 below Maine. Its location quotient is 1.38.
2. California has 26,060 estimated Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers jobs, a gap of 24,370 jobs from Maine. Its median is $58,060 per year, or $4,160 below Maine. Its location quotient is 0.53.
Local-share leaders
Where Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers takes the largest share of local jobs
South Dakota has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.66. Maine has 0.99. 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 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers 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 2.66, a gap of 1.67 from Maine. BLS lists 3,250 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers jobs and a median of $49,440 per year, or $12,780 below Maine.
2. Louisiana has a location quotient of 2.64, a gap of 1.65 from Maine. BLS lists 13,690 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers jobs and a median of $62,250 per year, or $30 above Maine.
3. Wyoming has a location quotient of 2.46, a gap of 1.47 from Maine. BLS lists 1,850 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers jobs and a median of $63,820 per year, or $1,600 above Maine.
Job scale and share
How common Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers is in Maine
BLS lists 1,690 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers jobs in Maine. It also lists 2.65 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 0.99. A value of 1 means Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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.
Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers beside other roles in Maine
The all-occupations median in Maine is $51,430 per year. The Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median is $62,220 per year. Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers is 21.0% 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 Maine. 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 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. 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. Carpenters, SOC 47-2031, has a Maine median of $62,160 per year. BLS lists 5,170 jobs and a location quotient of 1.87.
2. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a Maine median of $62,390 per year. BLS lists 7,490 jobs and a location quotient of 1.31.
3. Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education, SOC 25-2031, has a Maine median of $64,880 per year. BLS lists 5,540 jobs and a location quotient of 1.26.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Maine
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Maine table, at 18,630 jobs. Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers has 1,690 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 640,610. 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 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 18,630 jobs in Maine, a gap of 16,940 from Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. Its median is $38,580 per year, or $23,640 below Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. Its location quotient is 1.05.
2. Retail Salespersons has 18,450 jobs in Maine, a gap of 16,760 from Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. Its median is $36,640 per year, or $25,580 below Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. Its location quotient is 1.15.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Maine
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Maine role table, at $98,860 per year. Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers has $62,220 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,430 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 $98,860 per year in Maine, or $36,640 above Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. BLS lists 14,770 jobs, compared with 1,690 for Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $86,990 per year in Maine, or $24,770 above Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. BLS lists 16,540 jobs, compared with 1,690 for Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. Its location quotient is 1.19.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Maine
Social and Human Service Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded Maine role table, at 2.54. Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers has 0.99. 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 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Social and Human Service Assistants has a location quotient of 2.54 in Maine, a gap of 1.55 from Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. BLS lists 4,580 jobs and a median of $47,710 per year, or $14,510 below Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers.
2. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 2.33 in Maine, a gap of 1.34 from Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. BLS lists 4,990 jobs and a median of $36,350 per year, or $25,870 below Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers.
Price-level view
What $62,220 may mean after the Maine price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Maine is 97.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $62,220 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers median by 97.0 divided by 100. The result is $64,111 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 78.9. Goods are 97.2. Utilities are 135.2. Other services are 103.2. 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 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers row is 3.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.7%. 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 1,690 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $61,930 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 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers. It uses a Maine 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 $62,220 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 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers row for Maine 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 1,690 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.99 is not a growth score. Rank 9 of 54 is not a place score. The 97.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-4121 in BLS area 23. 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 1,690 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.
