Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand in Minnesota: wage guide
Use the local pay range, same-source pay figures, job scale, price level, and survey limits as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 53-7062 and BLS area 27.
What the Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median says in Minnesota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median in Minnesota at $46,280 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 53-7062 and BLS area 27.
BLS lists 54,480 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 $46,920 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Minnesota's Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median is 15.0% above the U.S. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median of $40,240 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

Read the Minnesota wage ladder for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand
The 10th percentile is $35,750 per year. The 25th percentile is $39,110 per year. The median is $46,280 per year. The 75th percentile is $52,070 per year. The 90th percentile is $61,140 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 $39,110 per year to $52,070 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $25,390. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Minnesota with its state and the U.S.
Minnesota has a annual median of $46,280 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $40,240 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Minnesota. Minnesota is 15.0% 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 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.
Where Minnesota sits for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand
Minnesota ranks 1 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 1 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.
- 2. Washington. The Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median is $46,190 per year. BLS estimates 49,450 jobs. The location quotient is 0.73.
- 3. District of Columbia. The Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median is $45,740 per year. BLS estimates 1,200 jobs. The location quotient is 0.09.
- 4. North Dakota. The Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median is $45,690 per year. BLS estimates 9,990 jobs. The location quotient is 1.23.
Where Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 53-7062, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Minnesota has the highest published median in this set, at $46,280 per year. Minnesota sits at $46,280 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand 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.

Where BLS counts the most Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand in this same-source set, at 355,500 jobs. Minnesota has 54,480. 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.

How common Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is in Minnesota
BLS lists 54,480 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand jobs in Minnesota. It also lists 18.47 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 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand 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.
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand beside other roles in Minnesota
The all-occupations median in Minnesota is $56,920 per year. The Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median is $46,280 per year.

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 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. 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.

Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Minnesota table, at 128,680 jobs. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 54,480 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 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

Published role medians around Minnesota
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Minnesota role table, at $130,050 per year. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has $46,280 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.

What $46,280 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 $46,280 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand median by 98.6 divided by 100. The result is $46,927 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.
How much care to use with the Minnesota row
The employment RSE for this Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand row is 2.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. 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 54,480 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $46,920 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.
Use Minnesota wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand. 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 $46,280 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 Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand 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 54,480 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.97 is not a growth score. Rank 1 of 54 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 53-7062 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.
