Home Health and Personal Care Aides pay in Nevada and Washington
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Home Health and Personal Care Aides is $33,670 per year in Nevada. It is $47,730 per year in Washington. Nevada is 29.5% below Washington on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 31-1120 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 17,940 wage and salary jobs in Nevada and 103,260 in Washington. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
