Questions, answered
Computer and Information Research Scientists pay in New Jersey: common questions
What is the median wage for Computer and Information Research Scientists in New Jersey?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $140,840 per year for Computer and Information Research Scientists in New Jersey. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Computer and Information Research Scientists pay higher in New Jersey than nationally?
New Jersey's published median was 0.4% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in New Jersey?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 108.8 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Computer and Information Research Scientists median says in New Jersey
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Computer and Information Research Scientists median in New Jersey at $140,840 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 15-1221 and BLS area 34.
BLS lists 1,580 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 $148,250 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
New Jersey's Computer and Information Research Scientists median is 0.4% above the U.S. Computer and Information Research Scientists median of $140,300 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 15-1221 and area 34. SOC 15-1221 names Computer and Information Research Scientists. Area 34 names New Jersey. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 15-1221/34 row reports 1,580 wage and salary jobs, 0.37 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.54 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 15-1221/34, the annual median is $140,840 per year, while the matching mean is $148,250 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 34 facts behind this Computer and Information Research Scientists page
Area 34 reports 4,285,720 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $78,040. Its annual median is $58,570. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 15-1221 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in New Jersey runs from $34,450 at the 10th percentile to $142,750 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,400. The median is $58,570. The 75th percentile is $96,720. This is a place check, not a pay range for Computer and Information Research Scientists.
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 34. They do not show related skills or a path into Computer and Information Research Scientists.
1. Area 34, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 117,080 jobs, $37,090 annual median, 27.32 jobs per 1,000, and 0.99 location quotient.
2. Area 34, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 107,680 jobs, $34,590 annual median, 25.13 jobs per 1,000, and 1.26 location quotient.
3. Area 34, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 97,230 jobs, $39,540 annual median, 22.69 jobs per 1,000, and 1.2 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the New Jersey wage ladder for Computer and Information Research Scientists
The 10th percentile is $85,780 per year. The 25th percentile is $107,860 per year. The median is $140,840 per year. The 75th percentile is $170,890 per year. The 90th percentile is $209,850 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 $107,860 per year to $170,890 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $124,070. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
New Jersey has a annual median of $140,840 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $140,300 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for New Jersey. New Jersey is 0.4% 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.
Where New Jersey sits for Computer and Information Research Scientists
New Jersey ranks 10 of 35 among states and territories with a published annual median for Computer and Information Research Scientists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 10 of 35 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.
7. Virginia has a Computer and Information Research Scientists median of $157,390 per year, 3,590 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.65.
8. Maryland has a Computer and Information Research Scientists median of $145,310 per year, 2,870 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 4.33.
9. District of Columbia has a Computer and Information Research Scientists median of $144,190 per year, 330 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.97.
Pay leaders
Where Computer and Information Research Scientists medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 15-1221, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Oregon has the highest published median in this set, at $206,220 per year. New Jersey sits at $140,840 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Computer and Information Research Scientists 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. Oregon has a Computer and Information Research Scientists median of $206,220 per year, or $65,380 above New Jersey. BLS lists 730 jobs there, compared with 1,580 in New Jersey. The location quotient is 1.54.
2. Washington has a Computer and Information Research Scientists median of $202,400 per year, or $61,560 above New Jersey. BLS lists 2,050 jobs there, compared with 1,580 in New Jersey. The location quotient is 2.41.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Computer and Information Research Scientists jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Computer and Information Research Scientists in this same-source set, at 8,440 jobs. New Jersey has 1,580. 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 8,440 estimated Computer and Information Research Scientists jobs, a gap of 6,860 jobs from New Jersey. Its median is $159,100 per year, or $18,260 above New Jersey. Its location quotient is 1.94.
2. Virginia has 3,590 estimated Computer and Information Research Scientists jobs, a gap of 2,010 jobs from New Jersey. Its median is $157,390 per year, or $16,550 above New Jersey. Its location quotient is 3.65.
Local-share leaders
Where Computer and Information Research Scientists takes the largest share of local jobs
Maryland has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.33. New Jersey has 1.54. 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 Computer and Information Research Scientists 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. Maryland has a location quotient of 4.33, a gap of 2.79 from New Jersey. BLS lists 2,870 Computer and Information Research Scientists jobs and a median of $145,310 per year, or $4,470 above New Jersey.
2. Rhode Island has a location quotient of 4.2, a gap of 2.66 from New Jersey. BLS lists 500 Computer and Information Research Scientists jobs and a median of $121,470 per year, or $19,370 below New Jersey.
3. Virginia has a location quotient of 3.65, a gap of 2.11 from New Jersey. BLS lists 3,590 Computer and Information Research Scientists jobs and a median of $157,390 per year, or $16,550 above New Jersey.
Job scale and share
How common Computer and Information Research Scientists is in New Jersey
BLS lists 1,580 Computer and Information Research Scientists jobs in New Jersey. It also lists 0.37 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 1.54. A value of 1 means Computer and Information Research Scientists 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.
Computer and Information Research Scientists beside other roles in New Jersey
The all-occupations median in New Jersey is $58,570 per year. The Computer and Information Research Scientists median is $140,840 per year. Computer and Information Research Scientists is 140.5% 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 New Jersey. 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 Computer and Information Research Scientists. 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. Software Developers, SOC 15-1252, has a New Jersey median of $135,940 per year. BLS lists 51,570 jobs and a location quotient of 1.11.
2. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a New Jersey median of $173,690 per year. BLS lists 53,000 jobs and a location quotient of 0.55.
3. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a New Jersey median of $106,500 per year. BLS lists 92,680 jobs and a location quotient of 0.99.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in New Jersey
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded New Jersey table, at 117,080 jobs. Computer and Information Research Scientists has 1,580 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 4,285,720. 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 Computer and Information Research Scientists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 117,080 jobs in New Jersey, a gap of 115,500 from Computer and Information Research Scientists. Its median is $37,090 per year, or $103,750 below Computer and Information Research Scientists. Its location quotient is 0.99.
2. Cashiers has 107,680 jobs in New Jersey, a gap of 106,100 from Computer and Information Research Scientists. Its median is $34,590 per year, or $106,250 below Computer and Information Research Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around New Jersey
Computer and Information Systems Managers has the highest published median in the bounded New Jersey role table, at $203,460 per year. Computer and Information Research Scientists has $140,840 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $58,570 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 $203,460 per year in New Jersey, or $62,620 above Computer and Information Research Scientists. BLS lists 34,470 jobs, compared with 1,580 for Computer and Information Research Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.87.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $173,690 per year in New Jersey, or $32,850 above Computer and Information Research Scientists. BLS lists 53,000 jobs, compared with 1,580 for Computer and Information Research Scientists. Its location quotient is 0.55.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in New Jersey
Packers and Packagers, Hand has the highest location quotient in the bounded New Jersey role table, at 4.62. Computer and Information Research Scientists has 1.54. 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 Computer and Information Research Scientists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Packers and Packagers, Hand has a location quotient of 4.62 in New Jersey, a gap of 3.08 from Computer and Information Research Scientists. BLS lists 71,260 jobs and a median of $43,840 per year, or $97,000 below Computer and Information Research Scientists.
2. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a location quotient of 1.87 in New Jersey, a gap of 0.33 from Computer and Information Research Scientists. BLS lists 34,470 jobs and a median of $203,460 per year, or $62,620 above Computer and Information Research Scientists.
Price-level view
What $140,840 may mean after the New Jersey price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for New Jersey is 108.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 8.8% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $140,840 Computer and Information Research Scientists median by 108.8 divided by 100. The result is $129,443 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 134.3. Goods are 107.1. Utilities are 114.2. Other services are 103.5. 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 Computer and Information Research Scientists row is 17.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.2%. 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 1,580 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $148,250 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 Computer and Information Research Scientists. It uses a New Jersey 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 $140,840 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 Computer and Information Research Scientists row for New Jersey 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 1,580 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.54 is not a growth score. Rank 10 of 35 is not a place score. The 108.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 15-1221 in BLS area 34. 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 1,580 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.
