The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median in North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area at $48,810 per year.

BLS lists 660 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 $51,430 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area's Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median is 6.3% above the U.S. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants median of $45,930 on the same published median.

Compare North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.

North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $48,810 per year. California has $54,490 per year. The U.S. row has $45,930 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area is 6.3% 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 benchmarks, 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 North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area sits for Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants

North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area ranks 8 of 135 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Medical Secretaries and Administrative 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 8 of 135 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.

Where Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants medians lead among nonmetro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 43-6013, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Massachusetts nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $51,470 per year. North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area sits at $48,810 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 Secretaries and Administrative 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.

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.

Roles with the largest local share in North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area

Home Health and Personal Care Aides has the highest location quotient in the bounded North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area role table, at 3.34. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has 0.97. 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 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $48,810 may mean after the North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area price level

WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $48,810 BLS median stays a nominal wage.

No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.

You can still compare Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.

How much care to use with the North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area row

The employment RSE for this Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants row is 5.5%. 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 660 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $51,430 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.

Use North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants. It uses a North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area 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 $48,810 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 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants row for North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area 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 660 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.97 is not a growth score. Rank 8 of 135 is not a place score. A missing price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-6013 in BLS area 0600003. 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.
