Trenton-Princeton, NJ was 14.5% above the U.S. median for Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. It ranked 24 of 393 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median says in Trenton-Princeton, NJ
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median in Trenton-Princeton, NJ at $58,020 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 43-3031 and BLS area 45940.
BLS lists 1,470 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 $58,750 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Trenton-Princeton, NJ's Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median is 14.5% above the U.S. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median of $50,670 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 43-3031 with area 45940
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 43-3031 and area 45940. SOC 43-3031 names Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. Area 45940 names Trenton-Princeton, NJ. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-3031/45940 row reports 1,470 wage and salary jobs, 6.11 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.69 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-3031/45940, the annual median is $58,020 per year, while the matching mean is $58,750 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
43-3031/45940 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 45940 facts behind this Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks page
Area 45940 reports 240,190 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $82,560. Its annual median is $63,490. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-3031 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Trenton-Princeton, NJ runs from $35,100 at the 10th percentile to $152,950 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $43,300. The median is $63,490. The 75th percentile is $101,630. This is a place check, not a pay range for Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks.
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 45940. They do not show related skills or a path into Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks.
1. Area 45940, SOC 13-1199, Business Operations Specialists, All Other: 5,570 jobs, $89,370 annual median, 23.18 jobs per 1,000, and 3.32 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Trenton-Princeton, NJ wage ladder for Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks
The 10th percentile is $41,590 per year. The 25th percentile is $48,650 per year. The median is $58,020 per year. The 75th percentile is $66,350 per year. The 90th percentile is $77,950 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 $48,650 per year to $66,350 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $36,360. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Trenton-Princeton, NJ with its state and the U.S.
Trenton-Princeton, NJ has a annual median of $58,020 per year. New Jersey has $58,300 per year. The U.S. row has $50,670 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Trenton-Princeton, NJ is 0.5% below New Jersey on the same published median. Trenton-Princeton, NJ is 14.5% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Trenton-Princeton, NJ sits for Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks
Trenton-Princeton, NJ ranks 24 of 393 among metro areas with a published annual median for Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 24 of 393 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.
21. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA has a Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median of $58,580 per year, 12,830 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.94.
22. San Luis Obispo-Paso Robles, CA has a Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median of $58,570 per year, 1,070 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.99.
23. Rochester, MN has a Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median of $58,350 per year, 790 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.72.
25. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI has a Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median of $57,790 per year, 16,510 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.96.
Pay leaders
Where Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 43-3031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $66,130 per year. Trenton-Princeton, NJ sits at $58,020 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks 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. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median of $66,130 per year, or $8,110 above Trenton-Princeton, NJ. BLS lists 7,590 jobs there, compared with 1,470 in Trenton-Princeton, NJ. The location quotient is 0.76.
2. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median of $65,530 per year, or $7,510 above Trenton-Princeton, NJ. BLS lists 18,100 jobs there, compared with 1,470 in Trenton-Princeton, NJ. The location quotient is 0.86.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks in this same-source set, at 77,010 jobs. Trenton-Princeton, NJ has 1,470. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 77,010 estimated Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks jobs, a gap of 75,540 jobs from Trenton-Princeton, NJ. Its median is $60,640 per year, or $2,620 above Trenton-Princeton, NJ. Its location quotient is 0.92.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 53,910 estimated Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks jobs, a gap of 52,440 jobs from Trenton-Princeton, NJ. Its median is $58,590 per year, or $570 above Trenton-Princeton, NJ. Its location quotient is 0.97.
Local-share leaders
Where Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks takes the largest share of local jobs
Rapid City, SD has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 2.64. Trenton-Princeton, NJ has 0.69. 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 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks 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. Rapid City, SD has a location quotient of 2.64, a gap of 1.95 from Trenton-Princeton, NJ. BLS lists 1,720 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks jobs and a median of $46,810 per year, or $11,210 below Trenton-Princeton, NJ.
2. Sioux Falls, SD-MN has a location quotient of 2.15, a gap of 1.46 from Trenton-Princeton, NJ. BLS lists 3,390 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks jobs and a median of $46,910 per year, or $11,110 below Trenton-Princeton, NJ.
3. Carson City, NV has a location quotient of 1.95, a gap of 1.26 from Trenton-Princeton, NJ. BLS lists 550 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks jobs and a median of $48,240 per year, or $9,780 below Trenton-Princeton, NJ.
Job scale and share
How common Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks is in Trenton-Princeton, NJ
BLS lists 1,470 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks jobs in Trenton-Princeton, NJ. It also lists 6.11 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 0.69. A value of 1 means Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks 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
Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks beside other roles in Trenton-Princeton, NJ
The all-occupations median in Trenton-Princeton, NJ is $63,490 per year. The Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median is $58,020 per year. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks is 8.6% 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 Trenton-Princeton, NJ. 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 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. 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. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a Trenton-Princeton, NJ median of $54,050 per year. BLS lists 3,680 jobs and a location quotient of 1.4.
2. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Trenton-Princeton, NJ median of $53,930 per year. BLS lists 1,840 jobs and a location quotient of 0.78.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Trenton-Princeton, NJ
Business Operations Specialists, All Other is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Trenton-Princeton, NJ table, at 5,570 jobs. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks has 1,470 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 240,190. 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 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has 5,570 jobs in Trenton-Princeton, NJ, a gap of 4,100 from Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. Its median is $89,370 per year, or $31,350 above Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. Its location quotient is 3.32.
2. Registered Nurses has 5,180 jobs in Trenton-Princeton, NJ, a gap of 3,710 from Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. Its median is $99,990 per year, or $41,970 above Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. Its location quotient is 0.99.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Trenton-Princeton, NJ
Computer and Information Systems Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Trenton-Princeton, NJ role table, at $197,420 per year. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks has $58,020 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $63,490 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. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a median of $197,420 per year in Trenton-Princeton, NJ, or $139,400 above Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. BLS lists 2,000 jobs, compared with 1,470 for Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.93.
2. Financial Managers has a median of $184,800 per year in Trenton-Princeton, NJ, or $126,780 above Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. BLS lists 2,460 jobs, compared with 1,470 for Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. Its location quotient is 1.89.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Trenton-Princeton, NJ
Natural Sciences Managers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Trenton-Princeton, NJ role table, at 12.78. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks has 0.69. 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 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Natural Sciences Managers has a location quotient of 12.78 in Trenton-Princeton, NJ, a gap of 12.09 from Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. BLS lists 2,150 jobs and a median of $182,230 per year, or $124,210 above Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks.
2. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a location quotient of 3.32 in Trenton-Princeton, NJ, a gap of 2.63 from Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. BLS lists 5,570 jobs and a median of $89,370 per year, or $31,350 above Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks.
Price-level view
What $58,020 may mean after the Trenton-Princeton, NJ price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Trenton-Princeton, NJ is 103.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.2% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $58,020 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks median by 103.2 divided by 100. The result is $56,232 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 135.1. Goods are 99.8. Utilities are 112.3. Other services are 97.9. 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 Trenton-Princeton, NJ row
The employment RSE for this Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks row is 5.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 1,470 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $58,750 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 Trenton-Princeton, NJ wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks. It uses a Trenton-Princeton, NJ 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 $58,020 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 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks row for Trenton-Princeton, NJ 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 1,470 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.69 is not a growth score. Rank 24 of 393 is not a place score. The 103.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-3031 in BLS area 45940. 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 1,470 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
