Medical Transcriptionists pay in Georgia and Minnesota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Medical Transcriptionists is $28,330 per year in Georgia. It is $50,030 per year in Minnesota. Georgia is 43.4% below Minnesota on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 31-9094 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 950 wage and salary jobs in Georgia and 270 in Minnesota. 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.
