The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Paralegals and Legal Assistants median in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA at $71,140 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 23-2011 and BLS area 36500.
BLS lists 570 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 $69,100 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Like-for-like rank
Where Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA sits for Paralegals and Legal Assistants
Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA ranks 25 of 376 among metro areas with a published annual median for Paralegals and Legal 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 25 of 376 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.
22. Fairbanks-College, AK. The Paralegals and Legal Assistants median is $71,390 per year. BLS estimates 60 jobs. The location quotient is 0.6.
23. Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA. The Paralegals and Legal Assistants median is $71,310 per year. BLS estimates 190 jobs. The location quotient is 0.79.

Pay leaders
Where Paralegals and Legal Assistants medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 23-2011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $99,250 per year. Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA sits at $71,140 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Paralegals and Legal 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.
1. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Paralegals and Legal Assistants median of $99,250 per year, or $28,110 above Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. BLS lists 2,030 jobs there, compared with 570 in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. The location quotient is 0.71.
2. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Paralegals and Legal Assistants median of $92,900 per year, or $21,760 above Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. BLS lists 6,310 jobs there, compared with 570 in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. The location quotient is 1.2.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Paralegals and Legal Assistants jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Paralegals and Legal Assistants in this same-source set, at 33,850 jobs. Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA has 570. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 33,850 estimated Paralegals and Legal Assistants jobs, a gap of 33,280 jobs from Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. Its median is $75,330 per year, or $4,190 above Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. Its location quotient is 1.41.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 22,240 estimated Paralegals and Legal Assistants jobs, a gap of 21,670 jobs from Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. Its median is $77,520 per year, or $6,380 above Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. Its location quotient is 1.4.
Local-share leaders
Where Paralegals and Legal Assistants takes the largest share of local jobs
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 2.5. Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA has 1.73. 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 Paralegals and Legal 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. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has a location quotient of 2.5, a gap of 0.77 from Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. BLS lists 17,820 Paralegals and Legal Assistants jobs and a median of $62,090 per year, or $9,050 below Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA.
2. Parkersburg-Vienna, WV has a location quotient of 2.17, a gap of 0.44 from Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. BLS lists 200 Paralegals and Legal Assistants jobs and a median of $76,400 per year, or $5,260 above Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA.
Job scale and share
How common Paralegals and Legal Assistants is in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA
BLS lists 570 Paralegals and Legal Assistants jobs in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. It also lists 4.36 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 1.73. A value of 1 means Paralegals and Legal Assistants 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.
Local job mix
Paralegals and Legal Assistants beside other roles in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA
The all-occupations median in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA is $61,960 per year. The Paralegals and Legal Assistants median is $71,140 per year.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA. 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 Paralegals and Legal 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.

Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA table, at 3,910 jobs. Paralegals and Legal Assistants has 570 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 130,300. 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 Paralegals and Legal Assistants's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 3,910 jobs in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA, a gap of 3,340 from Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Its median is $36,110 per year, or $35,030 below Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.21.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA role table, at $125,020 per year. Paralegals and Legal Assistants has $71,140 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $61,960 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $125,020 per year in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA, or $53,880 above Paralegals and Legal Assistants. BLS lists 2,250 jobs, compared with 570 for Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Its location quotient is 0.79.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA
Health Education Specialists has the highest location quotient in the bounded Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA role table, at 18.32. Paralegals and Legal Assistants has 1.73. 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 Paralegals and Legal Assistants with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Health Education Specialists has a location quotient of 18.32 in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA, a gap of 16.59 from Paralegals and Legal Assistants. BLS lists 1,010 jobs and a median of $78,460 per year, or $7,320 above Paralegals and Legal Assistants.
2. Self-Enrichment Teachers has a location quotient of 3.71 in Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA, a gap of 1.98 from Paralegals and Legal Assistants. BLS lists 1,030 jobs and a median of $48,020 per year, or $23,120 below Paralegals and Legal Assistants.
Price-level view
What $71,140 may mean after the Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA is 103.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.7% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $71,140 Paralegals and Legal Assistants median by 103.7 divided by 100. The result is $68,622 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 116.7. Goods are 105.0. Utilities are 91.7. Other services are 99.5. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA row
The employment RSE for this Paralegals and Legal Assistants row is 4.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 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 570 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $69,100 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Paralegals and Legal Assistants. It uses a Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA 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 $71,140 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.
Limits
What the Paralegals and Legal Assistants row for Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA 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 570 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.73 is not a growth score. Rank 25 of 376 is not a place score. The 103.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 23-2011 in BLS area 36500. 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 estimates 570 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
