What the Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median says in Iowa
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median in Iowa at $54,260 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 29-2010 and BLS area 19.
BLS lists 3,240 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 $57,530 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Iowa's Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median is 13.8% below the U.S. Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median of $62,930 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 29-2010 and area 19. SOC 29-2010 names Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. Area 19 names Iowa. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-2010/19 row reports 3,240 wage and salary jobs, 2.08 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.97 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-2010/19, the annual median is $54,260 per year, while the matching mean is $57,530 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 19 facts behind this Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians page
Area 19 reports 1,559,240 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $59,830. Its annual median is $48,540. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-2010 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Iowa runs from $28,930 at the 10th percentile to $99,630 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,570. The median is $48,540. The 75th percentile is $70,290. This is a place check, not a pay range for Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians.
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 19. They do not show related skills or a path into Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians.
1. Area 19, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 41,450 jobs, $28,970 annual median, 26.58 jobs per 1,000, and 1.34 location quotient.
2. Area 19, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 41,000 jobs, $31,360 annual median, 26.29 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
3. Area 19, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 40,290 jobs, $28,390 annual median, 25.84 jobs per 1,000, and 1.04 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Iowa wage ladder for Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians
The 10th percentile is $38,790 per year. The 25th percentile is $43,210 per year. The median is $54,260 per year. The 75th percentile is $65,810 per year. The 90th percentile is $79,660 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 $43,210 per year to $65,810 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $40,870. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Iowa has a annual median of $54,260 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $62,930 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Iowa. Iowa is 13.8% 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.
Where Iowa sits for Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians
Iowa ranks 43 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 43 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.
40. Indiana has a Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median of $57,080 per year, 7,210 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.05.
41. South Carolina has a Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median of $55,280 per year, 4,380 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.89.
42. Louisiana has a Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median of $54,460 per year, 3,790 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.91.
Pay leaders
Where Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 29-2010, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. New York has the highest published median in this set, at $97,280 per year. Iowa sits at $54,260 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians 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 York has a Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median of $97,280 per year, or $43,020 above Iowa. BLS lists 16,460 jobs there, compared with 3,240 in Iowa. The location quotient is 0.79.
2. Oregon has a Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median of $83,010 per year, or $28,750 above Iowa. BLS lists 2,660 jobs there, compared with 3,240 in Iowa. The location quotient is 0.63.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians in this same-source set, at 29,530 jobs. Iowa has 3,240. 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. Texas has 29,530 estimated Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians jobs, a gap of 26,290 jobs from Iowa. Its median is $59,290 per year, or $5,030 above Iowa. Its location quotient is 0.98.
2. California has 29,210 estimated Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians jobs, a gap of 25,970 jobs from Iowa. Its median is $76,010 per year, or $21,750 above Iowa. Its location quotient is 0.75.
Local-share leaders
Where Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians takes the largest share of local jobs
Utah has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.71. Iowa has 0.97. 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 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians 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. Utah has a location quotient of 1.71, a gap of 0.74 from Iowa. BLS lists 6,370 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians jobs and a median of $49,090 per year, or $5,170 below Iowa.
2. Puerto Rico has a location quotient of 1.69, a gap of 0.72 from Iowa. BLS lists 3,390 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians jobs and a median of $37,790 per year, or $16,470 below Iowa.
3. Alabama has a location quotient of 1.6, a gap of 0.63 from Iowa. BLS lists 7,250 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians jobs and a median of $49,440 per year, or $4,820 below Iowa.
Job scale and share
How common Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians is in Iowa
BLS lists 3,240 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians jobs in Iowa. It also lists 2.08 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 0.97. A value of 1 means Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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.
Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians beside other roles in Iowa
The all-occupations median in Iowa is $48,540 per year. The Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median is $54,260 per year. Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians is 11.8% 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 Iowa. 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 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. 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. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Iowa median of $52,160 per year. BLS lists 16,500 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Iowa median of $58,070 per year. BLS lists 35,040 jobs and a location quotient of 1.69.
3. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators, SOC 51-2090, has a Iowa median of $48,920 per year. BLS lists 19,540 jobs and a location quotient of 1.39.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Iowa
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Iowa table, at 41,450 jobs. Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians has 3,240 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 1,559,240. 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 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 41,450 jobs in Iowa, a gap of 38,210 from Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. Its median is $28,970 per year, or $25,290 below Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.34.
2. Retail Salespersons has 41,000 jobs in Iowa, a gap of 37,760 from Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. Its median is $31,360 per year, or $22,900 below Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Iowa
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Iowa role table, at $87,690 per year. Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians has $54,260 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,540 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 $87,690 per year in Iowa, or $33,430 above Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. BLS lists 30,760 jobs, compared with 3,240 for Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. Its location quotient is 0.88.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $78,630 per year in Iowa, or $24,370 above Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. BLS lists 34,420 jobs, compared with 3,240 for Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.02.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Iowa
Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary has the highest location quotient in the bounded Iowa role table, at 1.72. Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians has 0.97. 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 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary has a location quotient of 1.72 in Iowa, a gap of 0.75 from Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. BLS lists 24,520 jobs and a median of $30,510 per year, or $23,750 below Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has a location quotient of 1.69 in Iowa, a gap of 0.72 from Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. BLS lists 35,040 jobs and a median of $58,070 per year, or $3,810 above Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians.
Price-level view
What $54,260 may mean after the Iowa price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Iowa is 87.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 12.2% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $54,260 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians median by 87.8 divided by 100. The result is $61,826 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 65.3. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 83.3. Other services are 92.9. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians row is 3.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.8%. 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 3,240 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $57,530 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 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians. It uses a Iowa 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 $54,260 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 Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians row for Iowa 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 3,240 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.97 is not a growth score. Rank 43 of 54 is not a place score. The 87.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 29-2010 in BLS area 19. 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 3,240 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.
