Missouri was 11.5% below the U.S. median for Medical Assistants. It ranked 40 of 54 state areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
Price-level context
What the local median may buy
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Missouri was 90.8, or 9.2% below the national price level. Its housing index was 69.9.

WageScope divides the published Medical Assistants 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 31-9092 and BLS area 29.
Questions, answered
Medical Assistants pay in Missouri: common questions
What is the median wage for Medical Assistants in Missouri?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $40,440 per year for Medical Assistants in Missouri. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Medical Assistants pay higher in Missouri than nationally?
Missouri's published median was 11.5% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Missouri?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 90.8 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.
How many Medical Assistants jobs does BLS estimate in Missouri?
BLS published an employment estimate of 13,050 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.

What the Medical Assistants median says in Missouri
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Medical Assistants median in Missouri at $40,440 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 31-9092 and BLS area 29.
BLS lists 13,050 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 $42,030 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Missouri's Medical Assistants median is 11.5% below the U.S. Medical Assistants median of $45,690 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 31-9092 and area 29. SOC 31-9092 names Medical Assistants. Area 29 names Missouri. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-9092/29 row reports 13,050 wage and salary jobs, 4.45 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.85 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-9092/29, the annual median is $40,440 per year, while the matching mean is $42,030 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 29 facts behind this Medical Assistants page
Area 29 reports 2,936,050 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $62,160. Its annual median is $47,800. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 31-9092 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Missouri runs from $29,780 at the 10th percentile to $104,320 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,160. The median is $47,800. The 75th percentile is $74,260. This is a place check, not a pay range for Medical Assistants.
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 29. They do not show related skills or a path into Medical Assistants.
1. Area 29, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 109,020 jobs, $79,300 annual median, 37.13 jobs per 1,000, and 1.65 location quotient.
2. Area 29, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 94,810 jobs, $33,080 annual median, 32.29 jobs per 1,000, and 1.17 location quotient.
3. Area 29, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 76,310 jobs, $81,780 annual median, 25.99 jobs per 1,000, and 1.2 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Missouri wage ladder for Medical Assistants
The 10th percentile is $35,810 per year. The 25th percentile is $37,380 per year. The median is $40,440 per year. The 75th percentile is $46,600 per year. The 90th percentile is $48,360 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 $37,380 per year to $46,600 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $12,550. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Missouri has a annual median of $40,440 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $45,690 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Missouri. Missouri is 11.5% 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.
Missouri ranks 40 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Medical 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 40 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.
37. Georgia has a Medical Assistants median of $41,600 per year, 28,780 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.12.
38. South Carolina has a Medical Assistants median of $41,160 per year, 12,110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.
39. Wyoming has a Medical Assistants median of $40,920 per year, 1,040 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.7.
41. Michigan has a Medical Assistants median of $39,870 per year, 27,810 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.2.
Pay leaders
Where Medical Assistants medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 31-9092, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Washington has the highest published median in this set, at $59,290 per year. Missouri sits at $40,440 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Medical 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. Washington has a Medical Assistants median of $59,290 per year, or $18,850 above Missouri. BLS lists 19,500 jobs there, compared with 13,050 in Missouri. The location quotient is 1.04.
2. Alaska has a Medical Assistants median of $52,560 per year, or $12,120 above Missouri. BLS lists 2,140 jobs there, compared with 13,050 in Missouri. The location quotient is 1.25.
3. District of Columbia has a Medical Assistants median of $51,050 per year, or $10,610 above Missouri. BLS lists 2,260 jobs there, compared with 13,050 in Missouri. The location quotient is 0.61.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Medical Assistants jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Medical Assistants in this same-source set, at 117,060 jobs. Missouri has 13,050. 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 117,060 estimated Medical Assistants jobs, a gap of 104,010 jobs from Missouri. Its median is $49,660 per year, or $9,220 above Missouri. Its location quotient is 1.22.
2. Texas has 75,340 estimated Medical Assistants jobs, a gap of 62,290 jobs from Missouri. Its median is $39,520 per year, or $920 below Missouri. Its location quotient is 1.02.
3. Florida has 66,110 estimated Medical Assistants jobs, a gap of 53,060 jobs from Missouri. Its median is $43,680 per year, or $3,240 above Missouri. Its location quotient is 1.27.
Local-share leaders
Where Medical Assistants takes the largest share of local jobs
Maine has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.33. Missouri has 0.85. 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 Medical 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. Maine has a location quotient of 1.33, a gap of 0.48 from Missouri. BLS lists 4,480 Medical Assistants jobs and a median of $47,580 per year, or $7,140 above Missouri.
2. Kentucky has a location quotient of 1.28, a gap of 0.43 from Missouri. BLS lists 13,440 Medical Assistants jobs and a median of $39,270 per year, or $1,170 below Missouri.
3. Florida has a location quotient of 1.27, a gap of 0.42 from Missouri. BLS lists 66,110 Medical Assistants jobs and a median of $43,680 per year, or $3,240 above Missouri.
Job scale and share
How common Medical Assistants is in Missouri
BLS lists 13,050 Medical Assistants jobs in Missouri. It also lists 4.45 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 0.85. A value of 1 means Medical Assistants 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.
The all-occupations median in Missouri is $47,800 per year. The Medical Assistants median is $40,440 per year. Medical Assistants is 15.4% 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 Missouri. 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 Medical 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 Missouri median of $39,080 per year. BLS lists 43,050 jobs and a location quotient of 0.77.
2. Office Clerks, General, SOC 43-9061, has a Missouri median of $42,370 per year. BLS lists 56,050 jobs and a location quotient of 1.2.
3. Nursing Assistants, SOC 31-1131, has a Missouri median of $37,680 per year. BLS lists 34,050 jobs and a location quotient of 1.24.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Missouri
General and Operations Managers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Missouri table, at 109,020 jobs. Medical Assistants has 13,050 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 2,936,050. 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 Medical Assistants's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. General and Operations Managers has 109,020 jobs in Missouri, a gap of 95,970 from Medical Assistants. Its median is $79,300 per year, or $38,860 above Medical Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.65.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 94,810 jobs in Missouri, a gap of 81,760 from Medical Assistants. Its median is $33,080 per year, or $7,360 below Medical Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.17.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Missouri
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Missouri role table, at $126,120 per year. Medical Assistants has $40,440 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,800 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 $126,120 per year in Missouri, or $85,680 above Medical Assistants. BLS lists 20,020 jobs, compared with 13,050 for Medical Assistants. Its location quotient is 0.63.
2. Project Management Specialists has a median of $94,660 per year in Missouri, or $54,220 above Medical Assistants. BLS lists 21,460 jobs, compared with 13,050 for Medical Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.07.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,780 per year in Missouri, or $41,340 above Medical Assistants. BLS lists 76,310 jobs, compared with 13,050 for Medical Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.2.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Missouri
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Missouri role table, at 4.61. Medical Assistants has 0.85. 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 Medical Assistants with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 4.61 in Missouri, a gap of 3.76 from Medical Assistants. BLS lists 55,780 jobs and a median of $29,890 per year, or $10,550 below Medical Assistants.
2. General and Operations Managers has a location quotient of 1.65 in Missouri, a gap of 0.80 from Medical Assistants. BLS lists 109,020 jobs and a median of $79,300 per year, or $38,860 above Medical Assistants.
3. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education has a location quotient of 1.27 in Missouri, a gap of 0.42 from Medical Assistants. BLS lists 33,180 jobs and a median of $50,910 per year, or $10,470 above Medical Assistants.
Price-level view
What $40,440 may mean after the Missouri price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Missouri is 90.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.2% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $40,440 Medical Assistants median by 90.8 divided by 100. The result is $44,529 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 69.9. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 79.4. Other services are 95.2. 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 Medical Assistants row is 4.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. 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 13,050 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $42,030 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 Medical Assistants. It uses a Missouri 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 $40,440 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 Medical Assistants row for Missouri 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 13,050 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.85 is not a growth score. Rank 40 of 54 is not a place score. The 90.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 31-9092 in BLS area 29. 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.
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.
