WageScope divides the published Materials Scientists 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 19-2032 and BLS area 25.
Questions, answered
Materials Scientists pay in Massachusetts: common questions
What is the median wage for Materials Scientists in Massachusetts?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $132,600 per year for Materials Scientists in Massachusetts. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Materials Scientists pay higher in Massachusetts than nationally?
Massachusetts's published median was 12.6% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Massachusetts?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 105.8 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Materials Scientists median says in Massachusetts
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Materials Scientists median in Massachusetts at $132,600 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 19-2032 and BLS area 25.
BLS lists 890 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 $133,360 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Massachusetts's Materials Scientists median is 12.6% above the U.S. Materials Scientists median of $117,790 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 19-2032 and area 25. SOC 19-2032 names Materials Scientists. Area 25 names Massachusetts. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-2032/25 row reports 890 wage and salary jobs, 0.25 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 4.5 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-2032/25, the annual median is $132,600 per year, while the matching mean is $133,360 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 25 facts behind this Materials Scientists page
Area 25 reports 3,637,650 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $85,610. Its annual median is $63,590. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-2032 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Massachusetts runs from $36,330 at the 10th percentile to $163,010 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $44,730. The median is $63,590. The 75th percentile is $102,580. This is a place check, not a pay range for Materials Scientists.
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 25. They do not show related skills or a path into Materials Scientists.
1. Area 25, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 117,940 jobs, $40,910 annual median, 32.42 jobs per 1,000, and 1.17 location quotient.
2. Area 25, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 95,880 jobs, $127,220 annual median, 26.36 jobs per 1,000, and 1.17 location quotient.
3. Area 25, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 88,200 jobs, $104,550 annual median, 24.25 jobs per 1,000, and 1.12 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Massachusetts wage ladder for Materials Scientists
The 10th percentile is $96,310 per year. The 25th percentile is $103,890 per year. The median is $132,600 per year. The 75th percentile is $145,600 per year. The 90th percentile is $168,390 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 $103,890 per year to $145,600 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $72,080. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Massachusetts has a annual median of $132,600 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $117,790 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Massachusetts. Massachusetts is 12.6% 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.
Massachusetts ranks 5 of 30 among states and territories with a published annual median for Materials Scientists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 5 of 30 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. Oregon has a Materials Scientists median of $150,550 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.95.
3. Wisconsin has a Materials Scientists median of $137,700 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.47.
4. District of Columbia has a Materials Scientists median of $137,600 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
6. Minnesota has a Materials Scientists median of $132,160 per year, 290 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.79.
Pay leaders
Where Materials Scientists medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 19-2032, 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 $177,030 per year. Massachusetts sits at $132,600 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Materials Scientists 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 Materials Scientists median of $177,030 per year, or $44,430 above Massachusetts. BLS lists 1,030 jobs there, compared with 890 in Massachusetts. The location quotient is 1.04.
2. Oregon has a Materials Scientists median of $150,550 per year, or $17,950 above Massachusetts. BLS lists 100 jobs there, compared with 890 in Massachusetts. The location quotient is 0.95.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Materials Scientists jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Materials Scientists in this same-source set, at 1,030 jobs. Massachusetts has 890. 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. California has 1,030 estimated Materials Scientists jobs, a gap of 140 jobs from Massachusetts. Its median is $177,030 per year, or $44,430 above Massachusetts. Its location quotient is 1.04.
2. Massachusetts has 890 estimated Materials Scientists jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from Massachusetts. Its median is $132,600 per year, or $0 above Massachusetts. Its location quotient is 4.5.
3. New York has 530 estimated Materials Scientists jobs, a gap of 360 jobs from Massachusetts. Its median is $131,740 per year, or $860 below Massachusetts. Its location quotient is 1.
Local-share leaders
Where Materials Scientists takes the largest share of local jobs
Massachusetts has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.5. Massachusetts has 4.5. 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 Materials Scientists 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. Massachusetts has a location quotient of 4.5, a gap of 0.00 from Massachusetts. BLS lists 890 Materials Scientists jobs and a median of $132,600 per year, or $0 above Massachusetts.
2. Colorado has a location quotient of 2.35, a gap of 2.15 from Massachusetts. BLS lists 370 Materials Scientists jobs and a median of $117,290 per year, or $15,310 below Massachusetts.
3. Iowa has a location quotient of 2.09, a gap of 2.41 from Massachusetts. BLS lists 180 Materials Scientists jobs and a median of $88,320 per year, or $44,280 below Massachusetts.
Job scale and share
How common Materials Scientists is in Massachusetts
BLS lists 890 Materials Scientists jobs in Massachusetts. It also lists 0.25 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 4.5. A value of 1 means Materials Scientists 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.
Materials Scientists beside other roles in Massachusetts
The all-occupations median in Massachusetts is $63,590 per year. The Materials Scientists median is $132,600 per year. Materials Scientists is 108.5% 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 Massachusetts. 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 Materials Scientists. 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. Management Analysts, SOC 13-1111, has a Massachusetts median of $134,720 per year. BLS lists 30,060 jobs and a location quotient of 1.43.
2. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Massachusetts median of $127,220 per year. BLS lists 95,880 jobs and a location quotient of 1.17.
3. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Massachusetts median of $104,550 per year. BLS lists 88,200 jobs and a location quotient of 1.12.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Massachusetts
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Massachusetts table, at 117,940 jobs. Materials Scientists has 890 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 3,637,650. 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 Materials Scientists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 117,940 jobs in Massachusetts, a gap of 117,050 from Materials Scientists. Its median is $40,910 per year, or $91,690 below Materials Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.17.
2. General and Operations Managers has 95,880 jobs in Massachusetts, a gap of 94,990 from Materials Scientists. Its median is $127,220 per year, or $5,380 below Materials Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.17.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Massachusetts
Computer and Information Systems Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Massachusetts role table, at $214,960 per year. Materials Scientists has $132,600 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $63,590 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. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a median of $214,960 per year in Massachusetts, or $82,360 above Materials Scientists. BLS lists 24,910 jobs, compared with 890 for Materials Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.59.
2. Financial Managers has a median of $206,760 per year in Massachusetts, or $74,160 above Materials Scientists. BLS lists 26,150 jobs, compared with 890 for Materials Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.33.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Massachusetts
Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists has the highest location quotient in the bounded Massachusetts role table, at 1.89. Materials Scientists has 4.5. 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 Materials Scientists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists has a location quotient of 1.89 in Massachusetts, a gap of 2.61 from Materials Scientists. BLS lists 39,710 jobs and a median of $101,810 per year, or $30,790 below Materials Scientists.
2. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a location quotient of 1.59 in Massachusetts, a gap of 2.91 from Materials Scientists. BLS lists 24,910 jobs and a median of $214,960 per year, or $82,360 above Materials Scientists.
Price-level view
What $132,600 may mean after the Massachusetts price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Massachusetts is 105.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.8% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $132,600 Materials Scientists median by 105.8 divided by 100. The result is $125,382 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 128.1. Goods are 98.8. Utilities are 152.1. Other services are 102.9. 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 Materials Scientists row is 41.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 5.3%. 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 890 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $133,360 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 Materials Scientists. It uses a Massachusetts 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 $132,600 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.
What the Materials Scientists row for Massachusetts 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 890 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 4.5 is not a growth score. Rank 5 of 30 is not a place score. The 105.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 19-2032 in BLS area 25. 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 890 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.
