What the Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median says in Minnesota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median in Minnesota at $63,990 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 17-3027 and BLS area 27.
BLS lists 400 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 $67,350 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Minnesota's Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median is 14.1% below the U.S. Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median of $74,510 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 17-3027 and area 27. SOC 17-3027 names Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. Area 27 names Minnesota. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 17-3027/27 row reports 400 wage and salary jobs, 0.14 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.58 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 17-3027/27, the annual median is $63,990 per year, while the matching mean is $67,350 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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians 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 17-3027 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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians.
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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians.
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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians
The 10th percentile is $45,000 per year. The 25th percentile is $49,820 per year. The median is $63,990 per year. The 75th percentile is $80,390 per year. The 90th percentile is $85,640 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 $49,820 per year to $80,390 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $40,640. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Minnesota has a annual median of $63,990 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $74,510 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Minnesota. Minnesota is 14.1% 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.
Where Minnesota sits for Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians
Minnesota ranks 34 of 45 among states and territories with a published annual median for Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 34 of 45 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.
31. Wisconsin has a Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median of $67,850 per year, 900 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.31.
32. New Hampshire has a Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median of $66,740 per year, 570 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.58.
33. New Jersey has a Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median of $65,180 per year, 260 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.26.
Pay leaders
Where Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 17-3027, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Louisiana has the highest published median in this set, at $102,800 per year. Minnesota sits at $63,990 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians 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. Louisiana has a Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median of $102,800 per year, or $38,810 above Minnesota. BLS lists 270 jobs there, compared with 400 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.59.
2. New Mexico has a Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median of $97,560 per year, or $33,570 above Minnesota. BLS lists 320 jobs there, compared with 400 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 1.57.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians jobs
Michigan has the largest published state job estimate for Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians in this same-source set, at 4,930 jobs. Minnesota has 400. 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. Michigan has 4,930 estimated Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians jobs, a gap of 4,530 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $68,170 per year, or $4,180 above Minnesota. Its location quotient is 4.81.
2. California has 3,660 estimated Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians jobs, a gap of 3,260 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $87,390 per year, or $23,400 above Minnesota. Its location quotient is 0.86.
Local-share leaders
Where Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians takes the largest share of local jobs
Michigan has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.81. Minnesota has 0.58. 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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians 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. Michigan has a location quotient of 4.81, a gap of 4.23 from Minnesota. BLS lists 4,930 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians jobs and a median of $68,170 per year, or $4,180 above Minnesota.
2. New Hampshire has a location quotient of 3.58, a gap of 3.00 from Minnesota. BLS lists 570 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians jobs and a median of $66,740 per year, or $2,750 above Minnesota.
Job scale and share
How common Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians is in Minnesota
BLS lists 400 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians jobs in Minnesota. It also lists 0.14 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 0.58. A value of 1 means Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower 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.
Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians beside other roles in Minnesota
The all-occupations median in Minnesota is $56,920 per year. The Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median is $63,990 per year. Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians is 12.4% 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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. 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. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Minnesota median of $61,990 per year. BLS lists 38,770 jobs and a location quotient of 0.99.
2. Construction Laborers, SOC 47-2061, has a Minnesota median of $60,260 per year. BLS lists 28,530 jobs and a location quotient of 1.37.
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. Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians has 400 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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians'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 128,280 from Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. Its median is $38,370 per year, or $25,620 below Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.58.
2. Retail Salespersons has 74,840 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of 74,440 from Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. Its median is $36,370 per year, or $27,620 below Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. 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. Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians has $63,990 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 $66,060 above Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. BLS lists 35,890 jobs, compared with 400 for Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.12.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $101,510 per year in Minnesota, or $37,520 above Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. BLS lists 70,110 jobs, compared with 400 for Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.09.
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. Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians has 0.58. 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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians 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 1.12 from Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. BLS lists 24,420 jobs and a median of $26,900 per year, or $37,090 below Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.68 in Minnesota, a gap of 1.10 from Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. BLS lists 44,810 jobs and a median of $46,920 per year, or $17,070 below Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians.
Price-level view
What $63,990 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 $63,990 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians median by 98.6 divided by 100. The result is $64,885 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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians row is 20.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 6.3%. 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 400 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $67,350 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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians. 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $63,990 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 Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians 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 400 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.58 is not a growth score. Rank 34 of 45 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 17-3027 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 400 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.
