Questions, answered
Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers pay in Illinois: common questions
What is the median wage for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers in Illinois?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $89,520 per year for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers in Illinois. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers pay higher in Illinois than nationally?
Illinois's published median was 18.1% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Illinois?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 100.0 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median says in Illinois
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median in Illinois at $89,520 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 17-2031 and BLS area 17.
BLS lists 280 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 $90,580 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Illinois's Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median is 18.1% below the U.S. Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median of $109,370 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 17-2031 with area 17
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 17-2031 and area 17. SOC 17-2031 names Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. Area 17 names Illinois. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 17-2031/17 row reports 280 wage and salary jobs, 0.05 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.31 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 17-2031/17, the annual median is $89,520 per year, while the matching mean is $90,580 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
17-2031/17 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 17 facts behind this Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers page
Area 17 reports 6,098,130 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,130. Its annual median is $51,960. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 17-2031 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Illinois runs from $32,900 at the 10th percentile to $127,770 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,960. The median is $51,960. The 75th percentile is $83,060. This is a place check, not a pay range for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers.
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 17. They do not show related skills or a path into Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers.
1. Area 17, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 195,390 jobs, $40,550 annual median, 32.04 jobs per 1,000, and 1.69 location quotient.
2. Area 17, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 171,300 jobs, $103,570 annual median, 28.09 jobs per 1,000, and 1.25 location quotient.
3. Area 17, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 139,630 jobs, $34,490 annual median, 22.9 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
4. Area 17, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 138,910 jobs, $95,990 annual median, 22.78 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Illinois wage ladder for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers
The 10th percentile is $48,370 per year. The 25th percentile is $49,040 per year. The median is $89,520 per year. The 75th percentile is $112,400 per year. The 90th percentile is $138,110 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 $49,040 per year to $112,400 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $89,740. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Illinois with its state and the U.S.
Illinois has a annual median of $89,520 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $109,370 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Illinois. Illinois is 18.1% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Illinois sits for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers
Illinois ranks 30 of 38 among states and territories with a published annual median for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 30 of 38 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.
27. North Carolina has a Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median of $94,790 per year, 920 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.23.
28. Texas has a Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median of $92,600 per year, 2,050 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.96.
29. Utah has a Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median of $90,870 per year, 280 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.07.
31. Missouri has a Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median of $89,480 per year, 160 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.35.
Pay leaders
Where Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 17-2031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Arizona has the highest published median in this set, at $141,230 per year. Illinois sits at $89,520 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers 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. Arizona has a Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median of $141,230 per year, or $51,710 above Illinois. BLS lists 610 jobs there, compared with 280 in Illinois. The location quotient is 1.24.
2. Idaho has a Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median of $133,750 per year, or $44,230 above Illinois. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with 280 in Illinois. The location quotient is Not published.
3. California has a Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median of $128,310 per year, or $38,790 above Illinois. BLS lists 2,750 jobs there, compared with 280 in Illinois. The location quotient is 1.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers jobs
Massachusetts has the largest published state job estimate for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers in this same-source set, at 4,740 jobs. Illinois has 280. 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. Massachusetts has 4,740 estimated Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers jobs, a gap of 4,460 jobs from Illinois. Its median is $127,570 per year, or $38,050 above Illinois. Its location quotient is 8.63.
2. California has 2,750 estimated Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers jobs, a gap of 2,470 jobs from Illinois. Its median is $128,310 per year, or $38,790 above Illinois. Its location quotient is 1.
3. Texas has 2,050 estimated Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers jobs, a gap of 1,770 jobs from Illinois. Its median is $92,600 per year, or $3,080 above Illinois. Its location quotient is 0.96.
Local-share leaders
Where Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers takes the largest share of local jobs
Massachusetts has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 8.63. Illinois has 0.31. 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 Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers 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. Massachusetts has a location quotient of 8.63, a gap of 8.32 from Illinois. BLS lists 4,740 Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers jobs and a median of $127,570 per year, or $38,050 above Illinois.
2. Minnesota has a location quotient of 2.76, a gap of 2.45 from Illinois. BLS lists 1,230 Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers jobs and a median of $127,730 per year, or $38,210 above Illinois.
3. Maryland has a location quotient of 1.31, a gap of 1.00 from Illinois. BLS lists 550 Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers jobs and a median of $105,090 per year, or $15,570 above Illinois.
Job scale and share
How common Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers is in Illinois
BLS lists 280 Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers jobs in Illinois. It also lists 0.05 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 0.31. A value of 1 means Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers 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.
Local job mix
Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers beside other roles in Illinois
The all-occupations median in Illinois is $51,960 per year. The Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median is $89,520 per year. Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers is 72.3% above 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 Illinois. 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 Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. 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. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Illinois median of $95,990 per year. BLS lists 138,910 jobs and a location quotient of 1.05.
2. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a Illinois median of $80,230 per year. BLS lists 54,930 jobs and a location quotient of 0.97.
3. Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education, SOC 25-2031, has a Illinois median of $79,990 per year. BLS lists 44,670 jobs and a location quotient of 1.07.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Illinois
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Illinois table, at 195,390 jobs. Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers has 280 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 6,098,130. 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 Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 195,390 jobs in Illinois, a gap of 195,110 from Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. Its median is $40,550 per year, or $48,970 below Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.69.
2. General and Operations Managers has 171,300 jobs in Illinois, a gap of 171,020 from Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. Its median is $103,570 per year, or $14,050 above Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.25.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Illinois
Financial Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Illinois role table, at $165,880 per year. Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers has $89,520 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,960 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. Financial Managers has a median of $165,880 per year in Illinois, or $76,360 above Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. BLS lists 52,720 jobs, compared with 280 for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.6.
2. Software Developers has a median of $132,110 per year in Illinois, or $42,590 above Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. BLS lists 56,310 jobs, compared with 280 for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. Its location quotient is 0.85.
3. Management Analysts has a median of $104,270 per year in Illinois, or $14,750 above Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. BLS lists 45,820 jobs, compared with 280 for Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.3.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Illinois
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has the highest location quotient in the bounded Illinois role table, at 1.69. Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers has 0.31. 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 Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has a location quotient of 1.69 in Illinois, a gap of 1.38 from Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. BLS lists 195,390 jobs and a median of $40,550 per year, or $48,970 below Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers.
2. Financial Managers has a location quotient of 1.6 in Illinois, a gap of 1.29 from Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. BLS lists 52,720 jobs and a median of $165,880 per year, or $76,360 above Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers.
Price-level view
What $89,520 may mean after the Illinois price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Illinois is 100.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 0.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $89,520 Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers median by 100.0 divided by 100. The result is $89,558 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 93.9. Goods are 103.8. Utilities are 85.0. 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.
Data care
How much care to use with the Illinois row
The employment RSE for this Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers row is 23.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 10.4%. 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 280 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $90,580 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Illinois wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers. It uses a Illinois 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 $89,520 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.
Limits
What the Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers row for Illinois 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 280 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.31 is not a growth score. Rank 30 of 38 is not a place score. The 100.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 17-2031 in BLS area 17. 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 280 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.
