South Illinois nonmetropolitan area was 25.1% below the U.S. median for Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. It ranked 76 of 109 nonmetro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median says in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area at $41,600 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 43-6012 and BLS area 1700004.
BLS lists 240 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 $42,720 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
South Illinois nonmetropolitan area's Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median is 25.1% below the U.S. Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median of $55,570 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

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 1700004. They do not show related skills or a path into Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants.

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 $38,240 per year to $45,310 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $10,980. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare South Illinois nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
South Illinois nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $41,600 per year. Illinois has $52,790 per year. The U.S. row has $55,570 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
South Illinois nonmetropolitan area is 21.2% below Illinois on the same published median. South Illinois nonmetropolitan area is 25.1% 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 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 South Illinois nonmetropolitan area sits for Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants
South Illinois nonmetropolitan area ranks 76 of 109 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 76 of 109 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.
73. Northeast Virginia nonmetropolitan area has a Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median of $42,340 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.82.
74. Central Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has a Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median of $42,220 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
75. Northwest Illinois nonmetropolitan area has a Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median of $41,600 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.64.
Pay leaders
Where Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 43-6012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Capital/Northern New York nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $61,710 per year. South Illinois nonmetropolitan area sits at $41,600 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants 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. Capital/Northern New York nonmetropolitan area has a Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median of $61,710 per year, or $20,110 above South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 160 jobs there, compared with 240 in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.13.
2. Sussex Delaware nonmetropolitan area has a Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median of $61,160 per year, or $19,560 above South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 90 jobs there, compared with 240 in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.93.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants jobs
South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants in this same-source set, at 350 jobs. South Illinois nonmetropolitan area has 240. 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. South Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has 350 estimated Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants jobs, a gap of 110 jobs from South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $35,350 per year, or $6,250 below South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 2.02.
2. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 320 estimated Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants jobs, a gap of 80 jobs from South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $35,230 per year, or $6,370 below South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 0.84.
Local-share leaders
Where Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants takes the largest share of local jobs
Southern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 2.28. South Illinois nonmetropolitan area has 1.7. 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 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants 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. Southern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.28, a gap of 0.58 from South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 170 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants jobs and a median of $44,980 per year, or $3,380 above South Illinois nonmetropolitan area.
2. East Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.25, a gap of 0.55 from South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 210 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants jobs and a median of $36,040 per year, or $5,560 below South Illinois nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants is in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 240 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants jobs in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 1.71 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 1.7. A value of 1 means Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants 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
Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants beside other roles in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area is $46,810 per year. The Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median is $41,600 per year. Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants is 11.1% 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 South Illinois 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 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. 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. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a South Illinois nonmetropolitan area median of $41,650 per year. BLS lists 2,580 jobs and a location quotient of 0.96.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded South Illinois nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,180 jobs. Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has 240 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 141,200. 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 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 4,180 jobs in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,940 from Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. Its median is $31,200 per year, or $10,400 below Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.49.
2. Registered Nurses has 3,860 jobs in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,620 from Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. Its median is $80,200 per year, or $38,600 above Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around South Illinois nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded South Illinois nonmetropolitan area role table, at $82,040 per year. Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has $41,600 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,810 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $82,040 per year in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area, or $40,440 above Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. BLS lists 3,130 jobs, compared with 240 for Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. Its location quotient is 0.98.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,200 per year in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area, or $38,600 above Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. BLS lists 3,860 jobs, compared with 240 for Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area
Correctional Officers and Jailers has the highest location quotient in the bounded South Illinois nonmetropolitan area role table, at 4.85. Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has 1.7. 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 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Correctional Officers and Jailers has a location quotient of 4.85 in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3.15 from Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. BLS lists 1,670 jobs and a median of $74,390 per year, or $32,790 above Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants.
2. Tellers has a location quotient of 3.33 in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1.63 from Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. BLS lists 1,000 jobs and a median of $36,270 per year, or $5,330 below Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants.
Price-level view
What $41,600 may mean after the South Illinois nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for South Illinois nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $41,600 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 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants 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 South Illinois nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants row is 16.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.8%. 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 240 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $42,720 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 South Illinois nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. It uses a South Illinois 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 $41,600 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 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants row for South Illinois 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 240 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.7 is not a growth score. Rank 76 of 109 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 43-6012 in BLS area 1700004. 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 Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants jobs does BLS estimate in South Illinois nonmetropolitan area?
BLS published an employment estimate of 240 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.
