WageScope divides the published Childcare Workers 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 39-9011 and BLS area 35.
Questions, answered
Childcare Workers pay in New Mexico: common questions
What is the median wage for Childcare Workers in New Mexico?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $35,840 per year for Childcare Workers in New Mexico. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Childcare Workers pay higher in New Mexico than nationally?
New Mexico's published median was 2.5% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in New Mexico?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 92.2 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Childcare Workers median says in New Mexico
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Childcare Workers median in New Mexico at $35,840 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 39-9011 and BLS area 35.
BLS lists 4,120 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 $35,510 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
New Mexico's Childcare Workers median is 2.5% above the U.S. Childcare Workers median of $34,980 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 39-9011 and area 35. SOC 39-9011 names Childcare Workers. Area 35 names New Mexico. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 39-9011/35 row reports 4,120 wage and salary jobs, 4.73 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.42 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 39-9011/35, the annual median is $35,840 per year, while the matching mean is $35,510 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 35 facts behind this Childcare Workers page
Area 35 reports 870,970 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $62,330. Its annual median is $47,210. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 39-9011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in New Mexico runs from $28,760 at the 10th percentile to $110,070 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,260. The median is $47,210. The 75th percentile is $75,030. This is a place check, not a pay range for Childcare Workers.
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 35. They do not show related skills or a path into Childcare Workers.
1. Area 35, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 38,910 jobs, $28,520 annual median, 44.67 jobs per 1,000, and 1.61 location quotient.
2. Area 35, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 28,250 jobs, $28,700 annual median, 32.43 jobs per 1,000, and 1.31 location quotient.
3. Area 35, SOC 43-6014, Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive: 25,430 jobs, $46,450 annual median, 29.2 jobs per 1,000, and 2.66 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the New Mexico wage ladder for Childcare Workers
The 10th percentile is $29,880 per year. The 25th percentile is $31,240 per year. The median is $35,840 per year. The 75th percentile is $36,940 per year. The 90th percentile is $42,190 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 $31,240 per year to $36,940 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $12,310. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
New Mexico has a annual median of $35,840 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $34,980 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for New Mexico. New Mexico is 2.5% 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.
New Mexico ranks 17 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Childcare Workers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 17 of 54 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.
14. Maine has a Childcare Workers median of $36,350 per year, 4,990 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.33.
15. Alaska has a Childcare Workers median of $36,200 per year, 1,340 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.24.
16. Maryland has a Childcare Workers median of $36,030 per year, 9,750 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.06.
18. Illinois has a Childcare Workers median of $35,830 per year, 23,900 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.17.
Pay leaders
Where Childcare Workers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 39-9011, 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 $47,340 per year. New Mexico sits at $35,840 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Childcare Workers 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 Childcare Workers median of $47,340 per year, or $11,500 above New Mexico. BLS lists 1,350 jobs there, compared with 4,120 in New Mexico. The location quotient is 0.58.
2. Washington has a Childcare Workers median of $41,680 per year, or $5,840 above New Mexico. BLS lists 4,340 jobs there, compared with 4,120 in New Mexico. The location quotient is 0.37.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Childcare Workers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Childcare Workers in this same-source set, at 52,780 jobs. New Mexico has 4,120. 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 52,780 estimated Childcare Workers jobs, a gap of 48,660 jobs from New Mexico. Its median is $40,020 per year, or $4,180 above New Mexico. Its location quotient is 0.87.
2. New York has 44,020 estimated Childcare Workers jobs, a gap of 39,900 jobs from New Mexico. Its median is $37,590 per year, or $1,750 above New Mexico. Its location quotient is 1.36.
3. Texas has 34,160 estimated Childcare Workers jobs, a gap of 30,040 jobs from New Mexico. Its median is $28,570 per year, or $7,270 below New Mexico. Its location quotient is 0.73.
Local-share leaders
Where Childcare Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
North Dakota has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.81. New Mexico has 1.42. 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 Childcare Workers 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. North Dakota has a location quotient of 2.81, a gap of 1.39 from New Mexico. BLS lists 4,030 Childcare Workers jobs and a median of $30,290 per year, or $5,550 below New Mexico.
2. Nebraska has a location quotient of 2.75, a gap of 1.33 from New Mexico. BLS lists 9,390 Childcare Workers jobs and a median of $30,740 per year, or $5,100 below New Mexico.
3. Maine has a location quotient of 2.33, a gap of 0.91 from New Mexico. BLS lists 4,990 Childcare Workers jobs and a median of $36,350 per year, or $510 above New Mexico.
Job scale and share
How common Childcare Workers is in New Mexico
BLS lists 4,120 Childcare Workers jobs in New Mexico. It also lists 4.73 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 1.42. A value of 1 means Childcare Workers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher 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.
Childcare Workers beside other roles in New Mexico
The all-occupations median in New Mexico is $47,210 per year. The Childcare Workers median is $35,840 per year. Childcare Workers is 24.1% 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 New Mexico. 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 Childcare Workers. 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. Stockers and Order Fillers, SOC 53-7065, has a New Mexico median of $35,830 per year. BLS lists 16,540 jobs and a location quotient of 1.04.
2. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary, SOC 25-9045, has a New Mexico median of $35,900 per year. BLS lists 8,970 jobs and a location quotient of 1.13.
3. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a New Mexico median of $36,020 per year. BLS lists 14,360 jobs and a location quotient of 1.16.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in New Mexico
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded New Mexico table, at 38,910 jobs. Childcare Workers has 4,120 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 870,970. 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 Childcare Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 38,910 jobs in New Mexico, a gap of 34,790 from Childcare Workers. Its median is $28,520 per year, or $7,320 below Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 1.61.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 28,250 jobs in New Mexico, a gap of 24,130 from Childcare Workers. Its median is $28,700 per year, or $7,140 below Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 1.31.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around New Mexico
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded New Mexico role table, at $98,630 per year. Childcare Workers has $35,840 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,210 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $98,630 per year in New Mexico, or $62,790 above Childcare Workers. BLS lists 16,330 jobs, compared with 4,120 for Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 0.83.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $94,340 per year in New Mexico, or $58,500 above Childcare Workers. BLS lists 17,980 jobs, compared with 4,120 for Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 0.95.
3. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a median of $79,100 per year in New Mexico, or $43,260 above Childcare Workers. BLS lists 8,450 jobs, compared with 4,120 for Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 1.39.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in New Mexico
Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has the highest location quotient in the bounded New Mexico role table, at 2.66. Childcare Workers has 1.42. 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 Childcare Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has a location quotient of 2.66 in New Mexico, a gap of 1.24 from Childcare Workers. BLS lists 25,430 jobs and a median of $46,450 per year, or $10,610 above Childcare Workers.
2. Construction Laborers has a location quotient of 2.03 in New Mexico, a gap of 0.61 from Childcare Workers. BLS lists 12,470 jobs and a median of $38,400 per year, or $2,560 above Childcare Workers.
Price-level view
What $35,840 may mean after the New Mexico price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for New Mexico is 92.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $35,840 Childcare Workers median by 92.2 divided by 100. The result is $38,867 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 73.6. Goods are 96.1. Utilities are 77.9. Other services are 98.5. 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 Childcare Workers row is 9.8%. 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 4,120 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $35,510 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 Childcare Workers. It uses a New Mexico 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 $35,840 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 Childcare Workers row for New Mexico 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 4,120 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.42 is not a growth score. Rank 17 of 54 is not a place score. The 92.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 39-9011 in BLS area 35. 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 4,120 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.
