What the Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median says in New Jersey
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median in New Jersey at $129,280 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 19-1042 and BLS area 34.
BLS lists 6,120 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 $138,450 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
New Jersey's Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median is 25.0% above the U.S. Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median of $103,410 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 19-1042 and area 34. SOC 19-1042 names Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. Area 34 names New Jersey. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-1042/34 row reports 6,120 wage and salary jobs, 1.43 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.29 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-1042/34, the annual median is $129,280 per year, while the matching mean is $138,450 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 34 facts behind this Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists page
Area 34 reports 4,285,720 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $78,040. Its annual median is $58,570. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-1042 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in New Jersey runs from $34,450 at the 10th percentile to $142,750 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,400. The median is $58,570. The 75th percentile is $96,720. This is a place check, not a pay range for Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists.
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 34. They do not show related skills or a path into Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists.
1. Area 34, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 117,080 jobs, $37,090 annual median, 27.32 jobs per 1,000, and 0.99 location quotient.
2. Area 34, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 107,680 jobs, $34,590 annual median, 25.13 jobs per 1,000, and 1.26 location quotient.
3. Area 34, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 97,230 jobs, $39,540 annual median, 22.69 jobs per 1,000, and 1.2 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the New Jersey wage ladder for Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists
The 10th percentile is $77,540 per year. The 25th percentile is $95,520 per year. The median is $129,280 per year. The 75th percentile is $164,930 per year. The 90th percentile is $216,650 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 $95,520 per year to $164,930 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $139,110. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
New Jersey has a annual median of $129,280 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $103,410 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for New Jersey. New Jersey is 25.0% 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.
Where New Jersey sits for Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists
New Jersey ranks 2 of 47 among states and territories with a published annual median for Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 2 of 47 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.
1. California has a Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median of $136,990 per year, 29,830 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.48.
3. Massachusetts has a Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median of $128,210 per year, 17,100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 4.24.
4. Connecticut has a Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median of $116,990 per year, 2,410 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.28.
Pay leaders
Where Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 19-1042, 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 $136,990 per year. New Jersey sits at $129,280 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 Scientists, Except Epidemiologists 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 Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median of $136,990 per year, or $7,710 above New Jersey. BLS lists 29,830 jobs there, compared with 6,120 in New Jersey. The location quotient is 1.48.
2. New Jersey has a Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median of $129,280 per year, or $0 above New Jersey. BLS lists 6,120 jobs there, compared with 6,120 in New Jersey. The location quotient is 1.29.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists in this same-source set, at 29,830 jobs. New Jersey has 6,120. 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 29,830 estimated Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists jobs, a gap of 23,710 jobs from New Jersey. Its median is $136,990 per year, or $7,710 above New Jersey. Its location quotient is 1.48.
2. Massachusetts has 17,100 estimated Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists jobs, a gap of 10,980 jobs from New Jersey. Its median is $128,210 per year, or $1,070 below New Jersey. Its location quotient is 4.24.
Local-share leaders
Where Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists takes the largest share of local jobs
Massachusetts has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.24. New Jersey has 1.29. 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 Scientists, Except Epidemiologists 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 4.24, a gap of 2.95 from New Jersey. BLS lists 17,100 Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists jobs and a median of $128,210 per year, or $1,070 below New Jersey.
2. Maryland has a location quotient of 2.21, a gap of 0.92 from New Jersey. BLS lists 6,760 Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists jobs and a median of $106,000 per year, or $23,280 below New Jersey.
3. Minnesota has a location quotient of 2.07, a gap of 0.78 from New Jersey. BLS lists 6,760 Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists jobs and a median of $89,950 per year, or $39,330 below New Jersey.
Job scale and share
How common Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists is in New Jersey
BLS lists 6,120 Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists jobs in New Jersey. It also lists 1.43 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 1.29. A value of 1 means Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists 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.
Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists beside other roles in New Jersey
The all-occupations median in New Jersey is $58,570 per year. The Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median is $129,280 per year. Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists is 120.7% 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 New Jersey. 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 Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. 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. Software Developers, SOC 15-1252, has a New Jersey median of $135,940 per year. BLS lists 51,570 jobs and a location quotient of 1.11.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a New Jersey median of $106,500 per year. BLS lists 92,680 jobs and a location quotient of 0.99.
3. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a New Jersey median of $100,830 per year. BLS lists 42,250 jobs and a location quotient of 1.06.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in New Jersey
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded New Jersey table, at 117,080 jobs. Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists has 6,120 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 4,285,720. 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 Scientists, Except Epidemiologists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 117,080 jobs in New Jersey, a gap of 110,960 from Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. Its median is $37,090 per year, or $92,190 below Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. Its location quotient is 0.99.
2. Cashiers has 107,680 jobs in New Jersey, a gap of 101,560 from Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. Its median is $34,590 per year, or $94,690 below Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around New Jersey
Computer and Information Systems Managers has the highest published median in the bounded New Jersey role table, at $203,460 per year. Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists has $129,280 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $58,570 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 $203,460 per year in New Jersey, or $74,180 above Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. BLS lists 34,470 jobs, compared with 6,120 for Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. Its location quotient is 1.87.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $173,690 per year in New Jersey, or $44,410 above Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. BLS lists 53,000 jobs, compared with 6,120 for Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. Its location quotient is 0.55.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in New Jersey
Packers and Packagers, Hand has the highest location quotient in the bounded New Jersey role table, at 4.62. Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists has 1.29. 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 Scientists, Except Epidemiologists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Packers and Packagers, Hand has a location quotient of 4.62 in New Jersey, a gap of 3.33 from Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. BLS lists 71,260 jobs and a median of $43,840 per year, or $85,440 below Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists.
2. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a location quotient of 1.87 in New Jersey, a gap of 0.58 from Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. BLS lists 34,470 jobs and a median of $203,460 per year, or $74,180 above Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists.
Price-level view
What $129,280 may mean after the New Jersey price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for New Jersey is 108.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 8.8% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $129,280 Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists median by 108.8 divided by 100. The result is $118,818 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 134.3. Goods are 107.1. Utilities are 114.2. Other services are 103.5. 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 Scientists, Except Epidemiologists row is 6.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.4%. 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 6,120 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $138,450 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 Scientists, Except Epidemiologists. It uses a New Jersey 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 $129,280 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 Scientists, Except Epidemiologists row for New Jersey 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 6,120 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.29 is not a growth score. Rank 2 of 47 is not a place score. The 108.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 19-1042 in BLS area 34. 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 6,120 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.
