WageScope divides the published Animal Caretakers median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
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 39-2021 and BLS area 27.
Questions, answered
Animal Caretakers pay in Minnesota: common questions
What is the median wage for Animal Caretakers in Minnesota?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $36,430 per year for Animal Caretakers in Minnesota. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.

What the Animal Caretakers median says in Minnesota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Animal Caretakers median in Minnesota at $36,430 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 39-2021 and BLS area 27.
BLS lists 4,250 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 $38,320 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Minnesota's Animal Caretakers median is 3.0% above the U.S. Animal Caretakers median of $35,360 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 39-2021 and area 27. SOC 39-2021 names Animal Caretakers. Area 27 names Minnesota. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 39-2021/27 row reports 4,250 wage and salary jobs, 1.44 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.84 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 39-2021/27, the annual median is $36,430 per year, while the matching mean is $38,320 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 27 facts behind this Animal Caretakers page
Area 27 reports 2,949,820 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,160. Its annual median is $56,920. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 39-2021 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Minnesota runs from $33,540 at the 10th percentile to $125,730 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,680. The median is $56,920. The 75th percentile is $82,520. This is a place check, not a pay range for Animal Caretakers.
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 27. They do not show related skills or a path into Animal Caretakers.
1. Area 27, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 128,680 jobs, $38,370 annual median, 43.62 jobs per 1,000, and 1.58 location quotient.
2. Area 27, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 74,840 jobs, $36,370 annual median, 25.37 jobs per 1,000, and 1.01 location quotient.
3. Area 27, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 72,860 jobs, $99,340 annual median, 24.7 jobs per 1,000, and 1.1 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Minnesota wage ladder for Animal Caretakers
The 10th percentile is $29,440 per year. The 25th percentile is $31,710 per year. The median is $36,430 per year. The 75th percentile is $41,600 per year. The 90th percentile is $48,050 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 $31,710 per year to $41,600 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $18,610. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Minnesota has a annual median of $36,430 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $35,360 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Minnesota. Minnesota is 3.0% 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.
Minnesota ranks 15 of 53 among states and territories with a published annual median for Animal Caretakers. 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 53 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. Maryland has a Animal Caretakers median of $36,780 per year, 5,570 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.17.
13. Alaska has a Animal Caretakers median of $36,640 per year, 550 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.99.
14. Oregon has a Animal Caretakers median of $36,580 per year, 3,470 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.03.
16. Vermont has a Animal Caretakers median of $36,090 per year, 430 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.83.
Pay leaders
Where Animal Caretakers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 39-2021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. District of Columbia has the highest published median in this set, at $44,210 per year. Minnesota sits at $36,430 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Animal Caretakers 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. District of Columbia has a Animal Caretakers median of $44,210 per year, or $7,780 above Minnesota. BLS lists 460 jobs there, compared with 4,250 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.38.
2. Washington has a Animal Caretakers median of $40,570 per year, or $4,140 above Minnesota. BLS lists 6,620 jobs there, compared with 4,250 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 1.09.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Animal Caretakers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Animal Caretakers in this same-source set, at 25,710 jobs. Minnesota has 4,250. 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. California has 25,710 estimated Animal Caretakers jobs, a gap of 21,460 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $38,700 per year, or $2,270 above Minnesota. Its location quotient is 0.82.
2. Texas has 20,450 estimated Animal Caretakers jobs, a gap of 16,200 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $32,730 per year, or $3,700 below Minnesota. Its location quotient is 0.85.
3. Florida has 17,210 estimated Animal Caretakers jobs, a gap of 12,960 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $34,150 per year, or $2,280 below Minnesota. Its location quotient is 1.01.
Local-share leaders
Where Animal Caretakers takes the largest share of local jobs
Kentucky has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.79. Minnesota has 0.84. 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 Animal Caretakers 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. Kentucky has a location quotient of 1.79, a gap of 0.95 from Minnesota. BLS lists 6,140 Animal Caretakers jobs and a median of $30,720 per year, or $5,710 below Minnesota.
2. New Hampshire has a location quotient of 1.54, a gap of 0.70 from Minnesota. BLS lists 1,810 Animal Caretakers jobs and a median of $34,790 per year, or $1,640 below Minnesota.
3. Delaware has a location quotient of 1.48, a gap of 0.64 from Minnesota. BLS lists 1,230 Animal Caretakers jobs and a median of $33,910 per year, or $2,520 below Minnesota.
Job scale and share
How common Animal Caretakers is in Minnesota
BLS lists 4,250 Animal Caretakers jobs in Minnesota. It also lists 1.44 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 0.84. A value of 1 means Animal Caretakers 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.
The all-occupations median in Minnesota is $56,920 per year. The Animal Caretakers median is $36,430 per year. Animal Caretakers is 36.0% 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 Minnesota. 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 Animal Caretakers. 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. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Minnesota median of $36,370 per year. BLS lists 74,840 jobs and a location quotient of 1.01.
2. Stockers and Order Fillers, SOC 53-7065, has a Minnesota median of $37,120 per year. BLS lists 40,270 jobs and a location quotient of 0.75.
3. Food Preparation Workers, SOC 35-2021, has a Minnesota median of $34,850 per year. BLS lists 24,620 jobs and a location quotient of 1.45.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Minnesota
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Minnesota table, at 128,680 jobs. Animal Caretakers has 4,250 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 2,949,820. 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 Animal Caretakers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 128,680 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of 124,430 from Animal Caretakers. Its median is $38,370 per year, or $1,940 above Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 1.58.
2. Retail Salespersons has 74,840 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of 70,590 from Animal Caretakers. Its median is $36,370 per year, or $60 below Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 1.01.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Minnesota
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Minnesota role table, at $130,050 per year. Animal Caretakers has $36,430 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $56,920 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. Software Developers has a median of $130,050 per year in Minnesota, or $93,620 above Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 35,890 jobs, compared with 4,250 for Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 1.12.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $101,510 per year in Minnesota, or $65,080 above Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 70,110 jobs, compared with 4,250 for Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 1.09.
3. General and Operations Managers has a median of $99,340 per year in Minnesota, or $62,910 above Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 72,860 jobs, compared with 4,250 for Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 1.1.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Minnesota
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Minnesota role table, at 1.7. Animal Caretakers has 0.84. 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 Animal Caretakers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Bartenders has a location quotient of 1.7 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.86 from Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 24,420 jobs and a median of $26,900 per year, or $9,530 below Animal Caretakers.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.68 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.84 from Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 44,810 jobs and a median of $46,920 per year, or $10,490 above Animal Caretakers.
3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.58 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.74 from Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 128,680 jobs and a median of $38,370 per year, or $1,940 above Animal Caretakers.
Price-level view
What $36,430 may mean after the Minnesota price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Minnesota is 98.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $36,430 Animal Caretakers median by 98.6 divided by 100. The result is $36,939 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 91.3. Goods are 100.5. Utilities are 90.8. Other services are 100.2. 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 Animal Caretakers row is 7.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.8%. 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 4,250 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $38,320 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 Animal Caretakers. It uses a Minnesota 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 $36,430 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 Animal Caretakers row for Minnesota 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 4,250 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.84 is not a growth score. Rank 15 of 53 is not a place score. The 98.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 39-2021 in BLS area 27. 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.
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.
