Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area was 1.7% below the U.S. median for Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. It ranked 37 of 136 nonmetro areas. We rank only areas with a published annual median. These pay gaps leave out prices, benefits, and skills. They also leave out the mix of firms and work hours.
What the Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median says in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area at $63,250 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 21-1012 and BLS area 2700001.
BLS lists 220 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 $62,500 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area's Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median is 1.7% below the U.S. Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median of $64,330 on the same published median.

The 75th percentile is $66,720. This is a place check, not a pay range for Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors.
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 2700001. They do not show related skills or a path into Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors.

The middle half runs from $49,920 per year to $74,470 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $32,260. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $63,250 per year. Minnesota has $64,600 per year. The U.S. row has $64,330 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area is 2.1% below Minnesota on the same published median. Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area is 1.7% 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 benchmarks, 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 Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area sits for Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors
Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area ranks 37 of 136 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 37 of 136 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.
34. West North Dakota nonmetropolitan area. The Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median is $63,900 per year. BLS estimates 140 jobs. The location quotient is 0.71.
35. Eastern Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. The Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median is $63,730 per year. BLS estimates 300 jobs. The location quotient is 1.13.
36. Northeast Virginia nonmetropolitan area. The Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median is $63,590 per year. BLS estimates 120 jobs. The location quotient is 0.93.
Pay leaders
Where Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 21-1012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $100,230 per year. Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area sits at $63,250 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median of $100,230 per year, or $36,980 above Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 410 jobs there, compared with 220 in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.66.
2. Western Washington nonmetropolitan area has a Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median of $88,600 per year, or $25,350 above Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 220 jobs there, compared with 220 in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.76.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors jobs
Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors in this same-source set, at 1,040 jobs. Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area has 220. 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. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 1,040 estimated Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors jobs, a gap of 820 jobs from Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $50,610 per year, or $12,640 below Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.23.
2. Southern Ohio nonmetropolitan area has 700 estimated Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors jobs, a gap of 480 jobs from Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $60,710 per year, or $2,540 below Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.89.
Local-share leaders
Where Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors takes the largest share of local jobs
North Missouri nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 2.16. Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area has 0.5. 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 Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors 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 Missouri nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.16, a gap of 1.66 from Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 520 Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors jobs and a median of $48,780 per year, or $14,470 below Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area.
2. High Desert Utah nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.13, a gap of 1.63 from Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 540 Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors jobs and a median of $61,780 per year, or $1,470 below Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors is in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 220 Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors jobs in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 1.14 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 0.5. A value of 1 means Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors 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
Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors beside other roles in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area is $48,140 per year. The Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors median is $63,250 per year. Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors is 31.4% 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 Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. 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 Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. 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. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area median of $62,710 per year. BLS lists 2,720 jobs and a location quotient of 1.58.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area median of $66,180 per year. BLS lists 1,510 jobs and a location quotient of 0.85.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area table, at 6,150 jobs. Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors has 220 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 193,040. 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 Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 6,150 jobs in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 5,930 from Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. Its median is $30,260 per year, or $32,990 below Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. Its location quotient is 1.6.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 5,950 jobs in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 5,730 from Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. Its median is $37,240 per year, or $26,010 below Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area role table, at $97,280 per year. Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors has $63,250 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,140 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $97,280 per year in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area, or $34,030 above Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. BLS lists 4,650 jobs, compared with 220 for Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. Its location quotient is 1.11.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $78,530 per year in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area, or $15,280 above Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. BLS lists 4,820 jobs, compared with 220 for Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area role table, at 2.56. Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors has 0.5. 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 Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Bartenders has a location quotient of 2.56 in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2.06 from Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. BLS lists 2,400 jobs and a median of $26,070 per year, or $37,180 below Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.34 in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.84 from Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. BLS lists 4,080 jobs and a median of $44,310 per year, or $18,940 below Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors.
Price-level view
What $63,250 may mean after the Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $63,250 BLS median stays a nominal wage.
No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.
You can still compare Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
Data care
How much care to use with the Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors row is 11.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.1%. 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 220 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $62,500 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 Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors. It uses a Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area 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 $63,250 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 Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors row for Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area 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 220 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.5 is not a growth score. Rank 37 of 136 is not a place score. A missing price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 21-1012 in BLS area 2700001. 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.
How many Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors jobs does BLS estimate in Northwest Minnesota nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 220 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
