WageScope divides the published Pharmacy Technicians median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 29-2052 and BLS area 42.
Questions, answered
Pharmacy Technicians pay in Pennsylvania: common questions
What is the median wage for Pharmacy Technicians in Pennsylvania?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $40,040 per year for Pharmacy Technicians in Pennsylvania. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Pharmacy Technicians pay higher in Pennsylvania than nationally?
Pennsylvania's published median was 12.5% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Pennsylvania?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 97.6 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Pharmacy Technicians median says in Pennsylvania
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Pharmacy Technicians median in Pennsylvania at $40,040 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 29-2052 and BLS area 42.
BLS lists 18,880 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 $42,300 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Pennsylvania's Pharmacy Technicians median is 12.5% below the U.S. Pharmacy Technicians median of $45,750 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.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 29-2052 and area 42. SOC 29-2052 names Pharmacy Technicians. Area 42 names Pennsylvania. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-2052/42 row reports 18,880 wage and salary jobs, 3.11 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.03 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-2052/42, the annual median is $40,040 per year, while the matching mean is $42,300 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 42 facts behind this Pharmacy Technicians page
Area 42 reports 6,064,600 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $65,730. Its annual median is $49,690. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-2052 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Pennsylvania runs from $28,920 at the 10th percentile to $117,860 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,690. The median is $49,690. The 75th percentile is $78,270. This is a place check, not a pay range for Pharmacy Technicians.
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 42. They do not show related skills or a path into Pharmacy Technicians.
1. Area 42, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 257,370 jobs, $29,420 annual median, 42.44 jobs per 1,000, and 1.53 location quotient.
2. Area 42, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 172,010 jobs, $103,130 annual median, 28.36 jobs per 1,000, and 1.26 location quotient.
3. Area 42, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 146,520 jobs, $96,430 annual median, 24.16 jobs per 1,000, and 1.11 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Pennsylvania wage ladder for Pharmacy Technicians
The 10th percentile is $35,140 per year. The 25th percentile is $36,160 per year. The median is $40,040 per year. The 75th percentile is $46,870 per year. The 90th percentile is $51,290 per year.
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 $36,160 per year to $46,870 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $16,150. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Pennsylvania has a annual median of $40,040 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $45,750 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is 12.5% 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 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.
Pennsylvania ranks 46 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Pharmacy Technicians. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 46 of 54 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.
43. Virgin Islands (territory) has a Pharmacy Technicians median of $40,620 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.42.
44. Oklahoma has a Pharmacy Technicians median of $40,500 per year, 5,500 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.06.
45. Missouri has a Pharmacy Technicians median of $40,100 per year, 12,610 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.42.
47. New Jersey has a Pharmacy Technicians median of $39,610 per year, 14,020 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.08.
Pay leaders
Where Pharmacy Technicians medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 29-2052, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Washington has the highest published median in this set, at $58,900 per year. Pennsylvania sits at $40,040 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Pharmacy Technicians 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. Washington has a Pharmacy Technicians median of $58,900 per year, or $18,860 above Pennsylvania. BLS lists 8,150 jobs there, compared with 18,880 in Pennsylvania. The location quotient is 0.76.
2. California has a Pharmacy Technicians median of $55,110 per year, or $15,070 above Pennsylvania. BLS lists 39,860 jobs there, compared with 18,880 in Pennsylvania. The location quotient is 0.72.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Pharmacy Technicians jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Pharmacy Technicians in this same-source set, at 41,740 jobs. Pennsylvania has 18,880. 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. Texas has 41,740 estimated Pharmacy Technicians jobs, a gap of 22,860 jobs from Pennsylvania. Its median is $45,900 per year, or $5,860 above Pennsylvania. Its location quotient is 0.98.
2. California has 39,860 estimated Pharmacy Technicians jobs, a gap of 20,980 jobs from Pennsylvania. Its median is $55,110 per year, or $15,070 above Pennsylvania. Its location quotient is 0.72.
3. Florida has 38,460 estimated Pharmacy Technicians jobs, a gap of 19,580 jobs from Pennsylvania. Its median is $43,590 per year, or $3,550 above Pennsylvania. Its location quotient is 1.28.
Local-share leaders
Where Pharmacy Technicians takes the largest share of local jobs
Puerto Rico has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.04. Pennsylvania has 1.03. 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 Pharmacy Technicians 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. Puerto Rico has a location quotient of 2.04, a gap of 1.01 from Pennsylvania. BLS lists 5,820 Pharmacy Technicians jobs and a median of $29,520 per year, or $10,520 below Pennsylvania.
2. West Virginia has a location quotient of 1.67, a gap of 0.64 from Pennsylvania. BLS lists 3,560 Pharmacy Technicians jobs and a median of $38,210 per year, or $1,830 below Pennsylvania.
3. Kentucky has a location quotient of 1.46, a gap of 0.43 from Pennsylvania. BLS lists 8,870 Pharmacy Technicians jobs and a median of $39,200 per year, or $840 below Pennsylvania.
Job scale and share
How common Pharmacy Technicians is in Pennsylvania
BLS lists 18,880 Pharmacy Technicians jobs in Pennsylvania. It also lists 3.11 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 1.03. A value of 1 means Pharmacy Technicians has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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.
Pharmacy Technicians beside other roles in Pennsylvania
The all-occupations median in Pennsylvania is $49,690 per year. The Pharmacy Technicians median is $40,040 per year. Pharmacy Technicians is 19.4% below 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 Pennsylvania. 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 Pharmacy Technicians. 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. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Pennsylvania median of $42,480 per year. BLS lists 131,050 jobs and a location quotient of 1.14.
2. Security Guards, SOC 33-9032, has a Pennsylvania median of $37,050 per year. BLS lists 43,610 jobs and a location quotient of 0.87.
3. Stockers and Order Fillers, SOC 53-7065, has a Pennsylvania median of $36,640 per year. BLS lists 119,840 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Pennsylvania
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Pennsylvania table, at 257,370 jobs. Pharmacy Technicians has 18,880 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 6,064,600. 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 Pharmacy Technicians's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 257,370 jobs in Pennsylvania, a gap of 238,490 from Pharmacy Technicians. Its median is $29,420 per year, or $10,620 below Pharmacy Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.53.
2. General and Operations Managers has 172,010 jobs in Pennsylvania, a gap of 153,130 from Pharmacy Technicians. Its median is $103,130 per year, or $63,090 above Pharmacy Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Pennsylvania
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Pennsylvania role table, at $126,550 per year. Pharmacy Technicians has $40,040 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,690 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 $126,550 per year in Pennsylvania, or $86,510 above Pharmacy Technicians. BLS lists 55,920 jobs, compared with 18,880 for Pharmacy Technicians. Its location quotient is 0.85.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $103,130 per year in Pennsylvania, or $63,090 above Pharmacy Technicians. BLS lists 172,010 jobs, compared with 18,880 for Pharmacy Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.26.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $96,430 per year in Pennsylvania, or $56,390 above Pharmacy Technicians. BLS lists 146,520 jobs, compared with 18,880 for Pharmacy Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Pennsylvania
Home Health and Personal Care Aides has the highest location quotient in the bounded Pennsylvania role table, at 1.53. Pharmacy Technicians has 1.03. 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 Pharmacy Technicians with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.53 in Pennsylvania, a gap of 0.50 from Pharmacy Technicians. BLS lists 257,370 jobs and a median of $29,420 per year, or $10,620 below Pharmacy Technicians.
2. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has a location quotient of 1.39 in Pennsylvania, a gap of 0.36 from Pharmacy Technicians. BLS lists 42,110 jobs and a median of $47,730 per year, or $7,690 above Pharmacy Technicians.
Price-level view
What $40,040 may mean after the Pennsylvania price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Pennsylvania is 97.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 2.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $40,040 Pharmacy Technicians median by 97.6 divided by 100. The result is $41,036 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 85.1. Goods are 99.4. Utilities are 109.3. Other services are 99.8. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Pharmacy Technicians row is 4%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. 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 18,880 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $42,300 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 Pharmacy Technicians. It uses a Pennsylvania 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 $40,040 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 Pharmacy Technicians row for Pennsylvania 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 18,880 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.03 is not a growth score. Rank 46 of 54 is not a place score. The 97.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 29-2052 in BLS area 42. 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 18,880 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.
