Utah was 31.9% below the U.S. median for Chiropractors. It ranked 49 of 49 state areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
Price-level context
What the local median may buy
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Utah was 98.9, or 1.1% below the national price level. Its housing index was 107.8.

WageScope divides the published Chiropractors 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 29-1011 and BLS area 49.
Questions, answered
Chiropractors pay in Utah: common questions
What is the median wage for Chiropractors in Utah?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $53,900 per year for Chiropractors in Utah. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Chiropractors pay higher in Utah than nationally?
Utah's published median was 31.9% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Utah?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 98.9 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.
How many Chiropractors jobs does BLS estimate in Utah?
BLS published an employment estimate of 490 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
From market data to your evidence
Tailor for a real Chiropractors job, not a generic wage number.
Pick an eligible listing, then MeritLog can help you prepare from experience you have confirmed. WageScope never turns a BLS estimate into a qualification or résumé claim.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Chiropractors median in Utah at $53,900 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 29-1011 and BLS area 49.
BLS lists 490 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 $62,900 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Utah's Chiropractors median is 31.9% below the U.S. Chiropractors median of $79,200 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 29-1011 and area 49. SOC 29-1011 names Chiropractors. Area 49 names Utah. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-1011/49 row reports 490 wage and salary jobs, 0.28 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.1 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-1011/49, the annual median is $53,900 per year, while the matching mean is $62,900 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 49 reports 1,735,590 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $66,290. Its annual median is $50,110. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-1011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Utah runs from $30,040 at the 10th percentile to $119,990 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,520. The median is $50,110. The 75th percentile is $78,560. This is a place check, not a pay range for Chiropractors.
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 49. They do not show related skills or a path into Chiropractors.
1. Area 49, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 52,340 jobs, $28,670 annual median, 30.16 jobs per 1,000, and 1.22 location quotient.
2. Area 49, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 47,570 jobs, $33,900 annual median, 27.41 jobs per 1,000, and 1.09 location quotient.
3. Area 49, SOC 43-4051, Customer Service Representatives: 44,490 jobs, $43,140 annual median, 25.63 jobs per 1,000, and 1.54 location quotient.
4. Area 49, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 42,580 jobs, $97,850 annual median, 24.53 jobs per 1,000, and 1.09 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Utah wage ladder for Chiropractors
The 10th percentile is $29,990 per year. The 25th percentile is $36,810 per year. The median is $53,900 per year. The 75th percentile is $76,500 per year. The 90th percentile is $103,500 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 $36,810 per year to $76,500 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $73,510. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Utah has a annual median of $53,900 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $79,200 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Utah. Utah is 31.9% 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.
Utah ranks 49 of 49 among states and territories with a published annual median for Chiropractors. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 49 of 49 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.
46. Wyoming has a Chiropractors median of $62,640 per year, 110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.57.
47. Georgia has a Chiropractors median of $61,660 per year, 1,500 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.2.
48. Kansas has a Chiropractors median of $57,600 per year, 570 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.56.
Where Chiropractors medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 29-1011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. New Jersey has the highest published median in this set, at $134,990 per year. Utah sits at $53,900 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Chiropractors 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. New Jersey has a Chiropractors median of $134,990 per year, or $81,090 above Utah. BLS lists 1,370 jobs there, compared with 490 in Utah. The location quotient is 1.26.
2. New York has a Chiropractors median of $120,950 per year, or $67,050 above Utah. BLS lists 1,360 jobs there, compared with 490 in Utah. The location quotient is 0.55.
3. Maine has a Chiropractors median of $107,300 per year, or $53,400 above Utah. BLS lists 250 jobs there, compared with 490 in Utah. The location quotient is 1.55.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Chiropractors jobs
Florida has the largest published state job estimate for Chiropractors in this same-source set, at 3,220 jobs. Utah has 490. 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. Florida has 3,220 estimated Chiropractors jobs, a gap of 2,730 jobs from Utah. Its median is $84,280 per year, or $30,380 above Utah. Its location quotient is 1.27.
2. Texas has 2,840 estimated Chiropractors jobs, a gap of 2,350 jobs from Utah. Its median is $87,520 per year, or $33,620 above Utah. Its location quotient is 0.79.
3. California has 2,760 estimated Chiropractors jobs, a gap of 2,270 jobs from Utah. Its median is $75,470 per year, or $21,570 above Utah. Its location quotient is 0.59.
Local-share leaders
Where Chiropractors takes the largest share of local jobs
North Dakota has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.3. Utah has 1.1. 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 Chiropractors 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 3.3, a gap of 2.20 from Utah. BLS lists 360 Chiropractors jobs and a median of $77,990 per year, or $24,090 above Utah.
2. Iowa has a location quotient of 2.45, a gap of 1.35 from Utah. BLS lists 970 Chiropractors jobs and a median of $75,050 per year, or $21,150 above Utah.
3. South Dakota has a location quotient of 2.24, a gap of 1.14 from Utah. BLS lists 260 Chiropractors jobs and a median of $76,210 per year, or $22,310 above Utah.
Job scale and share
How common Chiropractors is in Utah
BLS lists 490 Chiropractors jobs in Utah. It also lists 0.28 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 1.1. A value of 1 means Chiropractors 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.
The all-occupations median in Utah is $50,110 per year. The Chiropractors median is $53,900 per year. Chiropractors is 7.6% 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 Utah. 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 Chiropractors. 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. Carpenters, SOC 47-2031, has a Utah median of $52,360 per year. BLS lists 15,220 jobs and a location quotient of 2.03.
2. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Utah median of $50,450 per year. BLS lists 16,090 jobs and a location quotient of 0.94.
3. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Utah median of $60,620 per year. BLS lists 25,060 jobs and a location quotient of 1.09.
4. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a Utah median of $47,050 per year. BLS lists 14,870 jobs and a location quotient of 0.78.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Utah
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Utah table, at 52,340 jobs. Chiropractors has 490 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 1,735,590. 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 Chiropractors's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 52,340 jobs in Utah, a gap of 51,850 from Chiropractors. Its median is $28,670 per year, or $25,230 below Chiropractors. Its location quotient is 1.22.
2. Retail Salespersons has 47,570 jobs in Utah, a gap of 47,080 from Chiropractors. Its median is $33,900 per year, or $20,000 below Chiropractors. Its location quotient is 1.09.
3. Customer Service Representatives has 44,490 jobs in Utah, a gap of 44,000 from Chiropractors. Its median is $43,140 per year, or $10,760 below Chiropractors. Its location quotient is 1.54.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Utah
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Utah role table, at $128,810 per year. Chiropractors has $53,900 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $50,110 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 $128,810 per year in Utah, or $74,910 above Chiropractors. BLS lists 31,940 jobs, compared with 490 for Chiropractors. Its location quotient is 1.7.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $97,850 per year in Utah, or $43,950 above Chiropractors. BLS lists 42,580 jobs, compared with 490 for Chiropractors. Its location quotient is 1.09.
3. Project Management Specialists has a median of $96,720 per year in Utah, or $42,820 above Chiropractors. BLS lists 16,450 jobs, compared with 490 for Chiropractors. Its location quotient is 1.38.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Utah
Carpenters has the highest location quotient in the bounded Utah role table, at 2.03. Chiropractors has 1.1. 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 Chiropractors with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Carpenters has a location quotient of 2.03 in Utah, a gap of 0.93 from Chiropractors. BLS lists 15,220 jobs and a median of $52,360 per year, or $1,540 below Chiropractors.
2. Shipping, Receiving, and Inventory Clerks has a location quotient of 1.73 in Utah, a gap of 0.63 from Chiropractors. BLS lists 15,750 jobs and a median of $39,050 per year, or $14,850 below Chiropractors.
3. Construction Laborers has a location quotient of 1.71 in Utah, a gap of 0.61 from Chiropractors. BLS lists 20,950 jobs and a median of $46,550 per year, or $7,350 below Chiropractors.
Price-level view
What $53,900 may mean after the Utah price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Utah is 98.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $53,900 Chiropractors median by 98.9 divided by 100. The result is $54,519 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 107.8. Goods are 96.4. Utilities are 78.7. Other services are 99.0. 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 Chiropractors row is 16.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 6.2%. 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 490 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $62,900 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 Chiropractors. It uses a Utah 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $53,900 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 Chiropractors row for Utah 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 490 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.1 is not a growth score. Rank 49 of 49 is not a place score. The 98.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 29-1011 in BLS area 49. 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.
