A same-metric difference from the U.S. median is unavailable for this row. The row could not be ranked because the matching median was unavailable. 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 New Mexico was 92.2, or 7.8% below the national price level. Its housing index was 73.6.
National-price-dollar proxy

Questions, answered
Natural Sciences Managers pay in New Mexico: common questions
What is the median wage for Natural Sciences Managers in New Mexico?
BLS did not publish a median for Natural Sciences Managers in New Mexico in the May 2025 OEWS release. WageScope does not substitute or infer the missing wage.
Is Natural Sciences Managers pay higher in New Mexico than nationally?
BLS did not publish the same median metric needed to compare New Mexico with the United States.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in New Mexico?
No wage price proxy is available because BLS did not publish an exact local median. A top-coded bound is not an exact wage input. A BEA price index, when available, describes prices separately and cannot fill that wage gap.

What the Natural Sciences Managers median says in New Mexico
BLS did not publish an exact median for Natural Sciences Managers in New Mexico in the May 2025 OEWS release. The source display is Not published. WageScope does not borrow the U.S. wage, use a nearby place, or turn this gap into zero. The row stays tied to SOC 11-9121 and BLS area 35.
BLS lists 400 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate, not a count of open posts. The mean display is Not published. A mean and a median are separate fields; one does not fill a gap in the other.
A local-to-national median gap cannot be computed from this row. The national source belongs to the United States and does not become New Mexico's wage. Any published percentile or job-count field below keeps its own scope, period, and source key.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 11-9121 and area 35. SOC 11-9121 names Natural Sciences Managers. Area 35 names New Mexico. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 11-9121/35 row reports 400 wage and salary jobs, 0.46 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.65 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 11-9121/35, the annual median is Not published, while the matching mean is Not published. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

BLS area 35 facts behind this Natural Sciences Managers page
Area 35 reports 870,970 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $62,330. Its annual median is $47,210. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 11-9121 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in New Mexico runs from $28,760 at the 10th percentile to $110,070 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,260. The median is $47,210. The 75th percentile is $75,030. This is a place check, not a pay range for Natural Sciences Managers.
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 35. They do not show related skills or a path into Natural Sciences Managers.
1. Area 35, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 38,910 jobs, $28,520 annual median, 44.67 jobs per 1,000, and 1.61 location quotient.
2. Area 35, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 28,250 jobs, $28,700 annual median, 32.43 jobs per 1,000, and 1.31 location quotient.
3. Area 35, SOC 43-6014, Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive: 25,430 jobs, $46,450 annual median, 29.2 jobs per 1,000, and 2.66 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the New Mexico wage ladder for Natural Sciences Managers
The 10th percentile is Not published. The 25th percentile is Not published. The median is Not published. The 75th percentile is Not published. The 90th percentile is Not published.
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 Not published to Not published. The 10th-to-90th span is not available. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
New Mexico has a annual median of Not published. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $167,220 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for New Mexico. New Mexico cannot be compared with the United States on the same published median. WageScope leaves that gap open. 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 Mexico sits for Natural Sciences Managers
New Mexico has no exact published median that can enter this Natural Sciences Managers pay rank. WageScope leaves the rank open. It does not treat a missing or top-coded value as an exact amount, and it does not place this row at the bottom of a list.
Other states and territories may have exact medians in the same release. Those rows can be read on their own pages. They cannot establish a wage or a nearest wage neighbor for New Mexico without the missing local field.
Employment and local share remain separate source fields for SOC 11-9121. Neither field is a substitute for median pay. A job count does not say where a wage would rank, and a share measure does not set a pay floor or ceiling.
Where Natural Sciences Managers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 11-9121, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Massachusetts has the highest published median in this set, at $267,290 per year. New Mexico sits at Not published.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Natural Sciences Managers 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. Massachusetts has a Natural Sciences Managers median of $267,290 per year, or not available. BLS lists 10,590 jobs there, compared with 400 in New Mexico. The location quotient is 4.16.
2. Connecticut has a Natural Sciences Managers median of $210,670 per year, or not available. BLS lists 1,190 jobs there, compared with 400 in New Mexico. The location quotient is 1.
3. California has a Natural Sciences Managers median of $210,230 per year, or not available. BLS lists 14,950 jobs there, compared with 400 in New Mexico. The location quotient is 1.17.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Natural Sciences Managers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Natural Sciences Managers in this same-source set, at 14,950 jobs. New Mexico 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. California has 14,950 estimated Natural Sciences Managers jobs, a gap of 14,550 jobs from New Mexico. Its median is $210,230 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.17.
2. Massachusetts has 10,590 estimated Natural Sciences Managers jobs, a gap of 10,190 jobs from New Mexico. Its median is $267,290 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 4.16.
3. New Jersey has 10,040 estimated Natural Sciences Managers jobs, a gap of 9,640 jobs from New Mexico. Its median is $207,030 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 3.35.
Local-share leaders
Where Natural Sciences Managers takes the largest share of local jobs
Massachusetts has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.16. New Mexico has 0.65. 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 Natural Sciences Managers 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 4.16, a gap of 3.51 from New Mexico. BLS lists 10,590 Natural Sciences Managers jobs and a median of $267,290 per year, or not available.
2. New Jersey has a location quotient of 3.35, a gap of 2.70 from New Mexico. BLS lists 10,040 Natural Sciences Managers jobs and a median of $207,030 per year, or not available.
3. Alaska has a location quotient of 3.14, a gap of 2.49 from New Mexico. BLS lists 710 Natural Sciences Managers jobs and a median of $130,590 per year, or not available.
Job scale and share
How common Natural Sciences Managers is in New Mexico
BLS lists 400 Natural Sciences Managers jobs in New Mexico. It also lists 0.46 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 0.65. A value of 1 means Natural Sciences Managers 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.
Natural Sciences Managers beside other roles in New Mexico
The all-occupations median in New Mexico is $47,210 per year. It covers the full local job mix and does not replace the missing exact Natural Sciences Managers median. WageScope cannot calculate a same-unit wage gap from the role to that broader row.
No nearest-pay role list is shown for this row. Such a list needs an exact local median in the same wage unit. A title, employment count, or national wage cannot supply that missing input.
Other roles in New Mexico still have their own source pages. Use those pages for their own official estimates, with each SOC code and period intact. Do not infer common tasks, skills, career paths, or pay for Natural Sciences Managers from another role's number.
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded New Mexico table, at 38,910 jobs. Natural Sciences Managers 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 870,970. 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 Natural Sciences Managers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 38,910 jobs in New Mexico, a gap of 38,510 from Natural Sciences Managers. Its median is $28,520 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.61.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 28,250 jobs in New Mexico, a gap of 27,850 from Natural Sciences Managers. Its median is $28,700 per year, or not available. Its location quotient is 1.31.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around New Mexico
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded New Mexico role table, at $98,630 per year. Natural Sciences Managers has Not published. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,210 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 $98,630 per year in New Mexico, or not available. BLS lists 16,330 jobs, compared with 400 for Natural Sciences Managers. Its location quotient is 0.83.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $94,340 per year in New Mexico, or not available. BLS lists 17,980 jobs, compared with 400 for Natural Sciences Managers. Its location quotient is 0.95.
3. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a median of $79,100 per year in New Mexico, or not available. BLS lists 8,450 jobs, compared with 400 for Natural Sciences Managers. Its location quotient is 1.39.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in New Mexico
Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has the highest location quotient in the bounded New Mexico role table, at 2.66. Natural Sciences Managers has 0.65. 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 Natural Sciences Managers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has a location quotient of 2.66 in New Mexico, a gap of 2.01 from Natural Sciences Managers. BLS lists 25,430 jobs and a median of $46,450 per year, or not available.
2. Construction Laborers has a location quotient of 2.03 in New Mexico, a gap of 1.38 from Natural Sciences Managers. BLS lists 12,470 jobs and a median of $38,400 per year, or not available.
Price-level view
Why a wage price proxy is unavailable in New Mexico
No national-price-dollar wage proxy is available for Natural Sciences Managers in New Mexico because BLS did not publish the exact median needed for that math. A missing or top-coded median is not zero and is not an exact wage input.
BEA separately published a 2024 all-items price index of 92.2 for New Mexico. The U.S. level is 100. This source can describe broad local prices, but it cannot supply the missing BLS wage for SOC 11-9121.
A price-level wage calculation needs a published wage in the correct unit and an exact reviewed price-area match. Until both inputs exist, WageScope leaves that answer open. Published employment, source dates, and wage-status fields remain useful on their own without an inferred spending-power claim.
The employment RSE for this Natural Sciences Managers row is 9.1%. The mean-wage RSE is Not published. 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 Not published 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 Natural Sciences Managers. It uses a New Mexico 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 Not published 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 Natural Sciences Managers row for New Mexico 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 0.65 is not a growth score. The unranked row is not a place score. The 92.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 11-9121 in BLS area 35. 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.
