WageScope divides the published Gas Plant Operators 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 51-8092 and BLS area 27.
Questions, answered
Gas Plant Operators pay in Minnesota: common questions
What is the median wage for Gas Plant Operators in Minnesota?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $100,500 per year for Gas Plant Operators in Minnesota. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.

What the Gas Plant Operators median says in Minnesota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Gas Plant Operators median in Minnesota at $100,500 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 51-8092 and BLS area 27.
BLS lists 360 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 $93,040 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Minnesota's Gas Plant Operators median is 14.4% above the U.S. Gas Plant Operators median of $87,820 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 51-8092 and area 27. SOC 51-8092 names Gas Plant Operators. Area 27 names Minnesota. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 51-8092/27 row reports 360 wage and salary jobs, 0.12 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.06 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 51-8092/27, the annual median is $100,500 per year, while the matching mean is $93,040 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 27 facts behind this Gas Plant Operators page
Area 27 reports 2,949,820 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,160. Its annual median is $56,920. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 51-8092 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Minnesota runs from $33,540 at the 10th percentile to $125,730 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,680. The median is $56,920. The 75th percentile is $82,520. This is a place check, not a pay range for Gas Plant Operators.
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 27. They do not show related skills or a path into Gas Plant Operators.
1. Area 27, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 128,680 jobs, $38,370 annual median, 43.62 jobs per 1,000, and 1.58 location quotient.
2. Area 27, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 74,840 jobs, $36,370 annual median, 25.37 jobs per 1,000, and 1.01 location quotient.
3. Area 27, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 72,860 jobs, $99,340 annual median, 24.7 jobs per 1,000, and 1.1 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Minnesota wage ladder for Gas Plant Operators
The 10th percentile is $78,320 per year. The 25th percentile is $82,570 per year. The median is $100,500 per year. The 75th percentile is $100,550 per year. The 90th percentile is $100,610 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 $82,570 per year to $100,550 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $22,290. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Minnesota has a annual median of $100,500 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $87,820 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Minnesota. Minnesota is 14.4% 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.
Minnesota ranks 12 of 43 among states and territories with a published annual median for Gas Plant Operators. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 12 of 43 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.
9. South Dakota has a Gas Plant Operators median of $101,450 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.65.
10. Arkansas has a Gas Plant Operators median of $100,870 per year, 400 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.68.
11. Michigan has a Gas Plant Operators median of $100,500 per year, 540 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.07.
13. New York has a Gas Plant Operators median of $98,390 per year, 240 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.21.
Pay leaders
Where Gas Plant Operators medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 51-8092, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. California has the highest published median in this set, at $130,220 per year. Minnesota sits at $100,500 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Gas Plant Operators 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. California has a Gas Plant Operators median of $130,220 per year, or $29,720 above Minnesota. BLS lists 800 jobs there, compared with 360 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.38.
2. New Jersey has a Gas Plant Operators median of $110,900 per year, or $10,400 above Minnesota. BLS lists 190 jobs there, compared with 360 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.38.
3. Oregon has a Gas Plant Operators median of $109,760 per year, or $9,260 above Minnesota. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 360 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.33.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Gas Plant Operators jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Gas Plant Operators in this same-source set, at 2,550 jobs. Minnesota has 360. 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 2,550 estimated Gas Plant Operators jobs, a gap of 2,190 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $79,910 per year, or $20,590 below Minnesota. Its location quotient is 1.57.
2. Pennsylvania has 1,370 estimated Gas Plant Operators jobs, a gap of 1,010 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $80,810 per year, or $19,690 below Minnesota. Its location quotient is 1.95.
3. Oklahoma has 970 estimated Gas Plant Operators jobs, a gap of 610 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $78,310 per year, or $22,190 below Minnesota. Its location quotient is 4.9.
Local-share leaders
Where Gas Plant Operators takes the largest share of local jobs
North Dakota has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 15.56. Minnesota has 1.06. 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 Gas Plant Operators 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 15.56, a gap of 14.50 from Minnesota. BLS lists 770 Gas Plant Operators jobs and a median of $96,760 per year, or $3,740 below Minnesota.
2. Wyoming has a location quotient of 14.64, a gap of 13.58 from Minnesota. BLS lists 480 Gas Plant Operators jobs and a median of $81,550 per year, or $18,950 below Minnesota.
3. West Virginia has a location quotient of 5.22, a gap of 4.16 from Minnesota. BLS lists 420 Gas Plant Operators jobs and a median of $82,600 per year, or $17,900 below Minnesota.
Job scale and share
How common Gas Plant Operators is in Minnesota
BLS lists 360 Gas Plant Operators jobs in Minnesota. It also lists 0.12 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 1.06. A value of 1 means Gas Plant Operators 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.
Gas Plant Operators beside other roles in Minnesota
The all-occupations median in Minnesota is $56,920 per year. The Gas Plant Operators median is $100,500 per year. Gas Plant Operators is 76.6% 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 Minnesota. 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 Gas Plant Operators. 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. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Minnesota median of $101,510 per year. BLS lists 70,110 jobs and a location quotient of 1.09.
2. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Minnesota median of $99,340 per year. BLS lists 72,860 jobs and a location quotient of 1.1.
3. Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists, SOC 13-1161, has a Minnesota median of $87,510 per year. BLS lists 21,280 jobs and a location quotient of 1.25.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Minnesota
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Minnesota table, at 128,680 jobs. Gas Plant Operators has 360 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 2,949,820. 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 Gas Plant Operators's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 128,680 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of 128,320 from Gas Plant Operators. Its median is $38,370 per year, or $62,130 below Gas Plant Operators. Its location quotient is 1.58.
2. Retail Salespersons has 74,840 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of 74,480 from Gas Plant Operators. Its median is $36,370 per year, or $64,130 below Gas Plant Operators. Its location quotient is 1.01.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Minnesota
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Minnesota role table, at $130,050 per year. Gas Plant Operators has $100,500 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $56,920 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 $130,050 per year in Minnesota, or $29,550 above Gas Plant Operators. BLS lists 35,890 jobs, compared with 360 for Gas Plant Operators. Its location quotient is 1.12.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $101,510 per year in Minnesota, or $1,010 above Gas Plant Operators. BLS lists 70,110 jobs, compared with 360 for Gas Plant Operators. Its location quotient is 1.09.
3. General and Operations Managers has a median of $99,340 per year in Minnesota, or $1,160 below Gas Plant Operators. BLS lists 72,860 jobs, compared with 360 for Gas Plant Operators. Its location quotient is 1.1.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Minnesota
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Minnesota role table, at 1.7. Gas Plant Operators has 1.06. 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 Gas Plant Operators 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 1.7 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.64 from Gas Plant Operators. BLS lists 24,420 jobs and a median of $26,900 per year, or $73,600 below Gas Plant Operators.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.68 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.62 from Gas Plant Operators. BLS lists 44,810 jobs and a median of $46,920 per year, or $53,580 below Gas Plant Operators.
3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.58 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.52 from Gas Plant Operators. BLS lists 128,680 jobs and a median of $38,370 per year, or $62,130 below Gas Plant Operators.
Price-level view
What $100,500 may mean after the Minnesota price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Minnesota is 98.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $100,500 Gas Plant Operators median by 98.6 divided by 100. The result is $101,905 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 91.3. Goods are 100.5. Utilities are 90.8. Other services are 100.2. 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 Gas Plant Operators row is 8.7%. 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 360 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $93,040 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 Gas Plant Operators. It uses a Minnesota 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 $100,500 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 Gas Plant Operators row for Minnesota 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 360 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.06 is not a growth score. Rank 12 of 43 is not a place score. The 98.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 51-8092 in BLS area 27. 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 360 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.
