What the Office Clerks, General median says in Ogden, UT
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Office Clerks, General median in Ogden, UT at $41,640 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 43-9061 and BLS area 36260.
BLS lists 5,790 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 $43,760 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Ogden, UT's Office Clerks, General median is 7.5% below the U.S. Office Clerks, General median of $45,010 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

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 $34,930 per year to $50,250 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $34,620. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Ogden, UT with its state and the U.S.
Ogden, UT has a annual median of $41,640 per year. Utah has $44,060 per year. The U.S. row has $45,010 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Ogden, UT is 5.5% below Utah on the same published median. Ogden, UT is 7.5% 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 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 Ogden, UT sits for Office Clerks, General
Ogden, UT ranks 226 of 392 among metro areas with a published annual median for Office Clerks, General. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 226 of 392 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 Office Clerks, General medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 43-9061, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Boulder, CO has the highest published median in this set, at $59,840 per year. Ogden, UT sits at $41,640 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Office Clerks, General 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.

Where BLS counts the most Office Clerks, General jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Office Clerks, General in this same-source set, at 136,580 jobs. Ogden, UT has 5,790. 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.

How common Office Clerks, General is in Ogden, UT
BLS lists 5,790 Office Clerks, General jobs in Ogden, UT. It also lists 21.33 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 1.35. A value of 1 means Office Clerks, General 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.
Office Clerks, General beside other roles in Ogden, UT

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Ogden, UT. 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 Office Clerks, General. 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.

The all-occupations job count is 271,370. 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 Office Clerks, General's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

The local all-occupations median is $48,900 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.

What $41,640 may mean after the Ogden, UT price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Ogden, UT is 100.3. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 0.3% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $41,640 Office Clerks, General median by 100.3 divided by 100. The result is $41,495 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 117.9. Goods are 96.4. Utilities are 78.8. Other services are 99.0. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
How much care to use with the Ogden, UT row
The employment RSE for this Office Clerks, General row is 9%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.1%. 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 5,790 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $43,760 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 Ogden, UT wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Office Clerks, General. It uses a Ogden, UT 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 $41,640 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 Office Clerks, General row for Ogden, UT 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 5,790 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.35 is not a growth score. Rank 226 of 392 is not a place score. The 100.3 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-9061 in BLS area 36260. 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.
