San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA was 21.3% above the U.S. median for Paralegals and Legal Assistants. It ranked 14 of 376 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Paralegals and Legal Assistants median says in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Paralegals and Legal Assistants median in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA at $76,300 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 41740.
BLS lists 4,440 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 $78,860 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA's Paralegals and Legal Assistants median is 21.3% above the U.S. Paralegals and Legal Assistants median of $62,890 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 23-2011 with area 41740
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 23-2011 and area 41740. SOC 23-2011 names Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Area 41740 names San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 23-2011/41740 row reports 4,440 wage and salary jobs, 2.89 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.14 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 23-2011/41740, the annual median is $76,300 per year, while the matching mean is $78,860 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
23-2011/41740 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.

The 75th percentile is $97,410. This is a place check, not a pay range for Paralegals and Legal Assistants.
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 41740. They do not show related skills or a path into Paralegals and Legal Assistants.

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 $59,410 per year to $98,260 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $59,170. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA with its state and the U.S.
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA has a annual median of $76,300 per year. California has $77,390 per year. The U.S. row has $62,890 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA is 1.4% below California on the same published median. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA is 21.3% 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 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA sits for Paralegals and Legal Assistants
San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA ranks 14 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 14 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.
11. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has a Paralegals and Legal Assistants median of $77,520 per year, 22,240 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.4.
12. Napa, CA has a Paralegals and Legal Assistants median of $77,020 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.43.
13. Parkersburg-Vienna, WV has a Paralegals and Legal Assistants median of $76,400 per year, 200 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.17.
15. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI has a Paralegals and Legal Assistants median of $76,220 per year, 5,990 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.22.
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. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA sits at $76,300 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 care marks, 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 $22,950 above San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. BLS lists 2,030 jobs there, compared with 4,440 in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. The location quotient is 0.71.
2. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Paralegals and Legal Assistants median of $92,900 per year, or $16,600 above San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. BLS lists 6,310 jobs there, compared with 4,440 in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. 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. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA has 4,440. 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 29,410 jobs from San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. Its median is $75,330 per year, or $970 below San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. 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 17,800 jobs from San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. Its median is $77,520 per year, or $1,220 above San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. 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. San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA has 1.14. 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 1.36 from San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. BLS lists 17,820 Paralegals and Legal Assistants jobs and a median of $62,090 per year, or $14,210 below San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA.
2. Parkersburg-Vienna, WV has a location quotient of 2.17, a gap of 1.03 from San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. BLS lists 200 Paralegals and Legal Assistants jobs and a median of $76,400 per year, or $100 above San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA.
Job scale and share
How common Paralegals and Legal Assistants is in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
BLS lists 4,440 Paralegals and Legal Assistants jobs in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. It also lists 2.89 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 1.14. 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
The all-occupations median in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA is $58,690 per year. The Paralegals and Legal Assistants median is $76,300 per year. Paralegals and Legal Assistants is 30.0% 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA. 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.
1. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA median of $76,120 per year. BLS lists 11,780 jobs and a location quotient of 0.83.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA table, at 57,080 jobs. Paralegals and Legal Assistants has 4,440 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 1,538,060. 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. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 57,080 jobs in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, a gap of 52,640 from Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Its median is $35,300 per year, or $41,000 below Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.34.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 42,550 jobs in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, a gap of 38,110 from Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Its median is $42,190 per year, or $34,110 below Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.12.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA role table, at $163,270 per year. Paralegals and Legal Assistants has $76,300 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $58,690 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. Software Developers has a median of $163,270 per year in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, or $86,970 above Paralegals and Legal Assistants. BLS lists 20,610 jobs, compared with 4,440 for Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.23.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $139,520 per year in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, or $63,220 above Paralegals and Legal Assistants. BLS lists 28,680 jobs, compared with 4,440 for Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Its location quotient is 0.86.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA role table, at 1.68. Paralegals and Legal Assistants has 1.14. 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. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 1.68 in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, a gap of 0.54 from Paralegals and Legal Assistants. BLS lists 10,630 jobs and a median of $42,450 per year, or $33,850 below Paralegals and Legal Assistants.
2. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a location quotient of 1.46 in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA, a gap of 0.32 from Paralegals and Legal Assistants. BLS lists 15,690 jobs and a median of $96,580 per year, or $20,280 above Paralegals and Legal Assistants.
Price-level view
What $76,300 may mean after the San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA is 111.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $76,300 Paralegals and Legal Assistants median by 111.9 divided by 100. The result is $68,194 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 179.3. Goods are 108.0. Utilities are 174.2. Other services are 99.6. 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA row
The employment RSE for this Paralegals and Legal Assistants row is 11.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.9%. 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 4,440 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $78,860 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Paralegals and Legal Assistants. It uses a San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA 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 $76,300 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA 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 4,440 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.14 is not a growth score. Rank 14 of 376 is not a place score. The 111.9 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 41740. 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 4,440 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.
