Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area was 54.5% below the U.S. median for Writers and Authors. It ranked 15 of 15 nonmetro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Writers and Authors median says in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Writers and Authors median in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area at $34,990 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 27-3043 and BLS area 2300002.
BLS lists 30 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 $46,180 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area's Writers and Authors median is 54.5% below the U.S. Writers and Authors median of $76,910 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 27-3043 and area 2300002. SOC 27-3043 names Writers and Authors. Area 2300002 names Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 27-3043/2300002 row reports 30 wage and salary jobs, 0.25 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.79 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 27-3043/2300002, the annual median is $34,990 per year, while the matching mean is $46,180 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
27-3043/2300002 10th percentile: $31,080 per year.
27-3043/2300002 25th percentile: $32,220 per year.
27-3043/2300002 median: $34,990 per year.
27-3043/2300002 75th percentile: $51,880 per year.
27-3043/2300002 90th percentile: $73,610 per year.
BLS area 2300002 facts behind this Writers and Authors page
Area 2300002 reports 142,140 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $61,600. Its annual median is $49,000. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 27-3043 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area runs from $34,430 at the 10th percentile to $98,860 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $38,800. The median is $49,000. The 75th percentile is $71,110. This is a place check, not a pay range for Writers and Authors.
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 2300002. They do not show related skills or a path into Writers and Authors.
1. Area 2300002, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 4,370 jobs, $35,900 annual median, 30.72 jobs per 1,000, and 1.23 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Writers and Authors
The 10th percentile is $31,080 per year. The 25th percentile is $32,220 per year. The median is $34,990 per year. The 75th percentile is $51,880 per year. The 90th percentile is $73,610 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 $32,220 per year to $51,880 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $42,530. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $34,990 per year. Maine has Not published. The U.S. row has $76,910 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area cannot be compared with Maine on the same published median. WageScope leaves that gap open. Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area is 54.5% 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 Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area sits for Writers and Authors
Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area ranks 15 of 15 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Writers and Authors. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 15 of 15 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.
12. Central North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a Writers and Authors median of $45,380 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.46.
13. Southeast Oklahoma nonmetropolitan area has a Writers and Authors median of $43,040 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.53.
14. Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a Writers and Authors median of $40,760 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.12.
Pay leaders
Where Writers and Authors medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 27-3043, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Southern Vermont nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $107,590 per year. Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area sits at $34,990 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Writers and Authors 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. Southern Vermont nonmetropolitan area has a Writers and Authors median of $107,590 per year, or $72,600 above Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with 30 in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is Not published.
2. Northern Vermont nonmetropolitan area has a Writers and Authors median of $92,690 per year, or $57,700 above Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 40 jobs there, compared with 30 in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.4.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Writers and Authors jobs
Central East New York nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Writers and Authors in this same-source set, at 60 jobs. Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area has 30. 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. Central East New York nonmetropolitan area has 60 estimated Writers and Authors jobs, a gap of 30 jobs from Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $55,510 per year, or $20,520 above Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.17.
2. Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has 60 estimated Writers and Authors jobs, a gap of 30 jobs from Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $40,760 per year, or $5,770 above Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.12.
Local-share leaders
Where Writers and Authors takes the largest share of local jobs
South Florida nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 1.54. Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area has 0.79. 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 Writers and Authors 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 Florida nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 1.54, a gap of 0.75 from Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 40 Writers and Authors jobs and a median of $63,900 per year, or $28,910 above Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area.
2. Northern New Hampshire nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 1.4, a gap of 0.61 from Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 40 Writers and Authors jobs and a median of $81,410 per year, or $46,420 above Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Writers and Authors is in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 30 Writers and Authors jobs in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.25 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 0.79. A value of 1 means Writers and Authors 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.
Writers and Authors beside other roles in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area is $49,000 per year. The Writers and Authors median is $34,990 per year. Writers and Authors is 28.6% 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 Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. 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 Writers and Authors. 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. Food Preparation Workers, SOC 35-2021, has a Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area median of $35,020 per year. BLS lists 1,260 jobs and a location quotient of 1.54.
2. Cashiers, SOC 41-2011, has a Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area median of $34,500 per year. BLS lists 3,640 jobs and a location quotient of 1.29.
3. Childcare Workers, SOC 39-9011, has a Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area median of $35,660 per year. BLS lists 1,130 jobs and a location quotient of 2.37.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,370 jobs. Writers and Authors has 30 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 142,140. 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 Writers and Authors's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 4,370 jobs in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,340 from Writers and Authors. Its median is $35,900 per year, or $910 above Writers and Authors. Its location quotient is 1.23.
2. Registered Nurses has 3,730 jobs in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,700 from Writers and Authors. Its median is $93,040 per year, or $58,050 above Writers and Authors. Its location quotient is 1.21.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area role table, at $93,040 per year. Writers and Authors has $34,990 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,000 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $93,040 per year in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area, or $58,050 above Writers and Authors. BLS lists 3,730 jobs, compared with 30 for Writers and Authors. Its location quotient is 1.21.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $92,310 per year in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area, or $57,320 above Writers and Authors. BLS lists 2,990 jobs, compared with 30 for Writers and Authors. Its location quotient is 0.93.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area
Childcare Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area role table, at 2.37. Writers and Authors has 0.79. 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 Writers and Authors with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 2.37 in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.58 from Writers and Authors. BLS lists 1,130 jobs and a median of $35,660 per year, or $670 above Writers and Authors.
2. Carpenters has a location quotient of 2.17 in Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.38 from Writers and Authors. BLS lists 1,330 jobs and a median of $60,640 per year, or $25,650 above Writers and Authors.
Price-level view
What $34,990 may mean after the Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $34,990 BLS median stays a nominal wage.
No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.
You can still compare Writers and Authors with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
How much care to use with the Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Writers and Authors row is 34.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 14.9%. 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 30 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $46,180 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.
Use Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Writers and Authors. It uses a Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area 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 $34,990 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 Writers and Authors row for Southwest Maine nonmetropolitan area 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 30 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.79 is not a growth score. Rank 15 of 15 is not a place score. A missing price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 27-3043 in BLS area 2300002. 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 30 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.
