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 38.
Questions, answered
Medical Assistants pay in North Dakota: common questions
What is the median wage for Medical Assistants in North Dakota?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $45,980 per year for Medical Assistants in North Dakota. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.

What the Medical Assistants median says in North Dakota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Medical Assistants median in North Dakota at $45,980 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 38.
BLS lists 600 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 $46,870 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
North Dakota's Medical Assistants median is 0.6% above 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 38. SOC 31-9092 names Medical Assistants. Area 38 names North Dakota. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-9092/38 row reports 600 wage and salary jobs, 1.4 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.27 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-9092/38, the annual median is $45,980 per year, while the matching mean is $46,870 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 38 facts behind this Medical Assistants page
Area 38 reports 429,430 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,050. Its annual median is $52,480. 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 North Dakota runs from $31,330 at the 10th percentile to $103,160 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $38,600. The median is $52,480. The 75th percentile is $75,810. 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 38. They do not show related skills or a path into Medical Assistants.
1. Area 38, SOC 53-3032, Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers: 11,870 jobs, $60,910 annual median, 27.65 jobs per 1,000, and 2.08 location quotient.
2. Area 38, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 11,470 jobs, $30,080 annual median, 26.71 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
3. Area 38, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 11,340 jobs, $80,730 annual median, 26.4 jobs per 1,000, and 1.21 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the North Dakota wage ladder for Medical Assistants
The 10th percentile is $37,650 per year. The 25th percentile is $39,090 per year. The median is $45,980 per year. The 75th percentile is $54,620 per year. The 90th percentile is $58,230 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 $39,090 per year to $54,620 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $20,580. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
North Dakota has a annual median of $45,980 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 North Dakota. North Dakota is 0.6% 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.
North Dakota ranks 23 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 23 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.
20. Maryland has a Medical Assistants median of $46,410 per year, 16,390 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.13.
21. Puerto Rico has a Medical Assistants median of $46,120 per year, 660 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.13.
22. Illinois has a Medical Assistants median of $46,090 per year, 20,260 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.63.
24. Arizona has a Medical Assistants median of $45,940 per year, 21,460 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.26.
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. North Dakota sits at $45,980 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 $13,310 above North Dakota. BLS lists 19,500 jobs there, compared with 600 in North Dakota. The location quotient is 1.04.
2. Alaska has a Medical Assistants median of $52,560 per year, or $6,580 above North Dakota. BLS lists 2,140 jobs there, compared with 600 in North Dakota. The location quotient is 1.25.
3. District of Columbia has a Medical Assistants median of $51,050 per year, or $5,070 above North Dakota. BLS lists 2,260 jobs there, compared with 600 in North Dakota. 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. North Dakota has 600. 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 116,460 jobs from North Dakota. Its median is $49,660 per year, or $3,680 above North Dakota. Its location quotient is 1.22.
2. Texas has 75,340 estimated Medical Assistants jobs, a gap of 74,740 jobs from North Dakota. Its median is $39,520 per year, or $6,460 below North Dakota. Its location quotient is 1.02.
3. Florida has 66,110 estimated Medical Assistants jobs, a gap of 65,510 jobs from North Dakota. Its median is $43,680 per year, or $2,300 below North Dakota. 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. North Dakota has 0.27. 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 1.06 from North Dakota. BLS lists 4,480 Medical Assistants jobs and a median of $47,580 per year, or $1,600 above North Dakota.
2. Kentucky has a location quotient of 1.28, a gap of 1.01 from North Dakota. BLS lists 13,440 Medical Assistants jobs and a median of $39,270 per year, or $6,710 below North Dakota.
3. Florida has a location quotient of 1.27, a gap of 1.00 from North Dakota. BLS lists 66,110 Medical Assistants jobs and a median of $43,680 per year, or $2,300 below North Dakota.
Job scale and share
How common Medical Assistants is in North Dakota
BLS lists 600 Medical Assistants jobs in North Dakota. It also lists 1.4 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 0.27. 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.
Medical Assistants beside other roles in North Dakota
The all-occupations median in North Dakota is $52,480 per year. The Medical Assistants median is $45,980 per year. Medical Assistants is 12.4% 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 North Dakota. 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. Nursing Assistants, SOC 31-1131, has a North Dakota median of $45,820 per year. BLS lists 6,840 jobs and a location quotient of 1.71.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a North Dakota median of $45,690 per year. BLS lists 9,990 jobs and a location quotient of 1.23.
3. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators, SOC 51-2090, has a North Dakota median of $47,250 per year. BLS lists 4,410 jobs and a location quotient of 1.14.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in North Dakota
Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded North Dakota table, at 11,870 jobs. Medical Assistants has 600 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 429,430. 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. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 11,870 jobs in North Dakota, a gap of 11,270 from Medical Assistants. Its median is $60,910 per year, or $14,930 above Medical Assistants. Its location quotient is 2.08.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 11,470 jobs in North Dakota, a gap of 10,870 from Medical Assistants. Its median is $30,080 per year, or $15,900 below Medical Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around North Dakota
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded North Dakota role table, at $98,170 per year. Medical Assistants has $45,980 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $52,480 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 $98,170 per year in North Dakota, or $52,190 above Medical Assistants. BLS lists 11,150 jobs, compared with 600 for Medical Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.15.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers has a median of $81,370 per year in North Dakota, or $35,390 above Medical Assistants. BLS lists 4,350 jobs, compared with 600 for Medical Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.94.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in North Dakota
Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded North Dakota role table, at 3.7. Medical Assistants has 0.27. 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. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 3.7 in North Dakota, a gap of 3.43 from Medical Assistants. BLS lists 4,890 jobs and a median of $62,150 per year, or $16,170 above Medical Assistants.
2. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 2.81 in North Dakota, a gap of 2.54 from Medical Assistants. BLS lists 4,030 jobs and a median of $30,290 per year, or $15,690 below Medical Assistants.
Price-level view
What $45,980 may mean after the North Dakota price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for North Dakota is 89.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $45,980 Medical Assistants median by 89.0 divided by 100. The result is $51,687 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 71.4. Goods are 95.7. Utilities are 73.7. Other services are 91.2. 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 9.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.2%. 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 600 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $46,870 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 North Dakota 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 $45,980 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 North Dakota 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 600 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.27 is not a growth score. Rank 23 of 54 is not a place score. The 89.0 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 38. 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 600 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.
