Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ was 15.1% below the U.S. median for Home Health and Personal Care Aides. It ranked 269 of 392 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Home Health and Personal Care Aides median says in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Home Health and Personal Care Aides median in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ at $30,380 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 31-1120 and BLS area 10900.
BLS lists 12,030 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 $32,680 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ's Home Health and Personal Care Aides median is 15.1% below the U.S. Home Health and Personal Care Aides median of $35,800 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 31-1120 with area 10900
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 31-1120 and area 10900. SOC 31-1120 names Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Area 10900 names Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-1120/10900 row reports 12,030 wage and salary jobs, 31.89 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.15 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-1120/10900, the annual median is $30,380 per year, while the matching mean is $32,680 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
31-1120/10900 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.

The 75th percentile is $76,050. This is a place check, not a pay range for Home Health and Personal Care Aides.
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 10900. They do not show related skills or a path into Home Health and Personal Care Aides.

Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ has a annual median of $30,380 per year. Pennsylvania has $29,420 per year. The U.S. row has $35,800 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ sits for Home Health and Personal Care Aides
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ ranks 269 of 392 among metro areas with a published annual median for Home Health and Personal Care Aides. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 269 of 392 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.
266. Manhattan, KS has a Home Health and Personal Care Aides median of $30,420 per year, 580 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.39.
267. Mansfield, OH has a Home Health and Personal Care Aides median of $30,400 per year, 880 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.65.

Pay leaders
Where Home Health and Personal Care Aides medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 31-1120, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Grants Pass, OR has the highest published median in this set, at $53,120 per year. Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ sits at $30,380 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Home Health and Personal Care Aides 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. Grants Pass, OR has a Home Health and Personal Care Aides median of $53,120 per year, or $22,740 above Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. BLS lists 4,640 jobs there, compared with 12,030 in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. The location quotient is 5.48.
2. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Home Health and Personal Care Aides median of $48,210 per year, or $17,830 above Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. BLS lists 54,670 jobs there, compared with 12,030 in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. The location quotient is 0.95.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Home Health and Personal Care Aides in this same-source set, at 644,700 jobs. Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ has 12,030. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 644,700 estimated Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs, a gap of 632,670 jobs from Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. Its median is $39,680 per year, or $9,300 above Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. Its location quotient is 2.45.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 385,530 estimated Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs, a gap of 373,500 jobs from Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. Its median is $34,320 per year, or $3,940 above Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. Its location quotient is 2.22.
Local-share leaders
Where Home Health and Personal Care Aides takes the largest share of local jobs
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 5.65. Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ has 1.15. 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides 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. McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX has a location quotient of 5.65, a gap of 4.50 from Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. BLS lists 46,380 Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs and a median of $23,960 per year, or $6,420 below Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ.
2. Grants Pass, OR has a location quotient of 5.48, a gap of 4.33 from Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. BLS lists 4,640 Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs and a median of $53,120 per year, or $22,740 above Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ.
Job scale and share
How common Home Health and Personal Care Aides is in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ
BLS lists 12,030 Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. It also lists 31.89 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 1.15. A value of 1 means Home Health and Personal Care Aides 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.
Local job mix
Home Health and Personal Care Aides beside other roles in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ
The all-occupations median in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ is $48,990 per year. The Home Health and Personal Care Aides median is $30,380 per year. Home Health and Personal Care Aides is 38.0% below 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 Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ. 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides. 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.

The largest detailed roles in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ

Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 12,030 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 377,180. 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 14,840 jobs in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ, a gap of 2,810 from Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Its median is $42,380 per year, or $12,000 above Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Its location quotient is 2.07.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ role table, at $101,440 per year. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has $30,380 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,990 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 $101,440 per year in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ, or $71,060 above Home Health and Personal Care Aides. BLS lists 10,860 jobs, compared with 12,030 for Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Its location quotient is 1.32.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ
Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ role table, at 3.18. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 1.15. 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has a location quotient of 3.18 in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ, a gap of 2.03 from Home Health and Personal Care Aides. BLS lists 5,980 jobs and a median of $49,140 per year, or $18,760 above Home Health and Personal Care Aides.
2. Packers and Packagers, Hand has a location quotient of 2.1 in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ, a gap of 0.95 from Home Health and Personal Care Aides. BLS lists 2,850 jobs and a median of $37,970 per year, or $7,590 above Home Health and Personal Care Aides.
Price-level view
What $30,380 may mean after the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ is 100.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 0.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $30,380 Home Health and Personal Care Aides median by 100.0 divided by 100. The result is $30,390 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 105.5. Goods are 100.6. Utilities are 107.6. Other services are 97.8. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ row
The employment RSE for this Home Health and Personal Care Aides row is 1.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.7%. 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 12,030 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $32,680 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 Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Home Health and Personal Care Aides. It uses a Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ 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 $30,380 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides row for Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ 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 12,030 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.15 is not a growth score. Rank 269 of 392 is not a place score. The 100.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 31-1120 in BLS area 10900. 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 12,030 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.
