The wage ratio is simple arithmetic: this occupation's median divided by the all-occupations median in the same area and unit. It is not a cost-of-living measure. Location quotient describes the concentration of employment, not relative pay. Neither predicts what a particular candidate will accept.
What do these published wages mean for an offer?
Skilled Trades Headhunters reads the May 2025 figures for Bilingual Field Supervisor in National as an offer reference, not a quote for a particular candidate. For Bilingual Field Supervisor in National, the published median for SOC 47-1011, First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers, is $79,920 per year. The middle half of the Bilingual Field Supervisor in National wage distribution runs from $63,400 to $101,460, a width of $38,060 per year; that spread shows how much published pay varies within the occupation and area, without assigning experience levels.
For the national Bilingual Field Supervisor comparison, New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ reports $103,990 per year while Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX reports $76,020 per year; these are the largest-employment metros with published medians for the occupation, rather than neighboring places to a national estimate. The United States Bilingual Field Supervisor figure pools markets with different work scopes and schedules, so use the area table before setting a local offer.
The highest published medians among the selected national industry rows for First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers, read alongside Bilingual Field Supervisor in National, are Pipeline Transportation of Crude Oil at $140,520 per year (NAICS 486100); Scientific Research and Development Services at $133,570 per year (NAICS 541700); Motor Vehicle Manufacturing at $119,580 per year (NAICS 336100). Those Bilingual Field Supervisor in National industry comparisons are national cross-sections, not local industry estimates; BLS does not give us a metro-by-industry wage cut here, and overlapping industry groups should not be added together.
The Bilingual Field Supervisor in National median was $78,690 per year in May 2024, compared with $79,920 in May 2025, a published difference of $1,230. That Bilingual Field Supervisor in National comparison is between separate BLS releases, not the raise paid to the same workers or a projection of next year's offer. Read the $78,690 and $79,920 Bilingual Field Supervisor in National estimates with both dates visible, because the employers and workers represented by the survey can change.
Before offering $79,920 per year for Bilingual Field Supervisor in National, separate on-call duties, overtime, travel reimbursement, tool replacement and any truck allowance separately; prevailing wage and union requirements must be checked against the actual assignment. The Bilingual Field Supervisor in National BLS comparison includes ordinary wages and qualifying incentive pay, but leaves overtime, discretionary bonuses, benefits and relocation outside this wage figure. A candidate's take-home pay and the employer's total cost for Bilingual Field Supervisor in National can therefore differ from the median without either number being an error.
The mapping for Bilingual Field Supervisor in National is broader: BLS groups Bilingual Field Supervisor within First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers; it does not publish this niche title or credential level separately. For a Bilingual Field Supervisor in National opening, establish the equipment, license requirements and responsibility before deciding which people the pay range should attract. A broader occupation can combine jobs that a Bilingual Field Supervisor in National buyer would screen separately, which is why the badge and SOC remain beside the figures.
