Physical Therapist Assistants pay in Kansas: common questions
What is the median wage for Physical Therapist Assistants in Kansas?

What the Physical Therapist Assistants median says in Kansas
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Physical Therapist Assistants median in Kansas at $64,500 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 31-2021 and BLS area 20.
BLS lists 1,300 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 $66,320 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Kansas's Physical Therapist Assistants median is 5.7% below the U.S. Physical Therapist Assistants median of $68,380 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 31-2021 and area 20. SOC 31-2021 names Physical Therapist Assistants. Area 20 names Kansas. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-2021/20 row reports 1,300 wage and salary jobs, 0.91 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.25 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-2021/20, the annual median is $64,500 per year, while the matching mean is $66,320 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 20 facts behind this Physical Therapist Assistants page
Area 20 reports 1,437,520 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,640. Its annual median is $48,010. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 31-2021 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Kansas runs from $28,530 at the 10th percentile to $103,250 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,880. The median is $48,010. The 75th percentile is $72,280. This is a place check, not a pay range for Physical Therapist 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 20. They do not show related skills or a path into Physical Therapist Assistants.
1. Area 20, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 47,140 jobs, $27,580 annual median, 32.8 jobs per 1,000, and 1.32 location quotient.
2. Area 20, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 33,800 jobs, $79,320 annual median, 23.51 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
3. Area 20, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 33,360 jobs, $32,180 annual median, 23.21 jobs per 1,000, and 0.93 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Kansas wage ladder for Physical Therapist Assistants
The 10th percentile is $52,520 per year. The 25th percentile is $59,930 per year. The median is $64,500 per year. The 75th percentile is $74,900 per year. The 90th percentile is $79,550 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 $59,930 per year to $74,900 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $27,030. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Kansas has a annual median of $64,500 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $68,380 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Kansas. Kansas is 5.7% 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.
Where Kansas sits for Physical Therapist Assistants
Kansas ranks 29 of 52 among states and territories with a published annual median for Physical Therapist 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 29 of 52 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.
26. Colorado has a Physical Therapist Assistants median of $64,810 per year, 1,350 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.65.
27. Arizona has a Physical Therapist Assistants median of $64,650 per year, 2,010 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.86.
28. Arkansas has a Physical Therapist Assistants median of $64,520 per year, 1,620 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.72.
30. New York has a Physical Therapist Assistants median of $64,100 per year, 3,620 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.52.
Pay leaders
Where Physical Therapist Assistants medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 31-2021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. California has the highest published median in this set, at $83,110 per year. Kansas sits at $64,500 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Physical Therapist 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. California has a Physical Therapist Assistants median of $83,110 per year, or $18,610 above Kansas. BLS lists 9,400 jobs there, compared with 1,300 in Kansas. The location quotient is 0.71.
2. Massachusetts has a Physical Therapist Assistants median of $79,460 per year, or $14,960 above Kansas. BLS lists 2,640 jobs there, compared with 1,300 in Kansas. The location quotient is 1.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Physical Therapist Assistants jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Physical Therapist Assistants in this same-source set, at 10,510 jobs. Kansas has 1,300. 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 10,510 estimated Physical Therapist Assistants jobs, a gap of 9,210 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $78,000 per year, or $13,500 above Kansas. Its location quotient is 1.03.
2. Florida has 9,870 estimated Physical Therapist Assistants jobs, a gap of 8,570 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $72,530 per year, or $8,030 above Kansas. Its location quotient is 1.37.
3. California has 9,400 estimated Physical Therapist Assistants jobs, a gap of 8,100 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $83,110 per year, or $18,610 above Kansas. Its location quotient is 0.71.
Local-share leaders
Where Physical Therapist Assistants takes the largest share of local jobs
Oklahoma has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.93. Kansas has 1.25. 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 Physical Therapist 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. Oklahoma has a location quotient of 1.93, a gap of 0.68 from Kansas. BLS lists 2,380 Physical Therapist Assistants jobs and a median of $59,480 per year, or $5,020 below Kansas.
2. West Virginia has a location quotient of 1.93, a gap of 0.68 from Kansas. BLS lists 980 Physical Therapist Assistants jobs and a median of $60,430 per year, or $4,070 below Kansas.
3. Kentucky has a location quotient of 1.78, a gap of 0.53 from Kansas. BLS lists 2,580 Physical Therapist Assistants jobs and a median of $61,480 per year, or $3,020 below Kansas.
Job scale and share
How common Physical Therapist Assistants is in Kansas
BLS lists 1,300 Physical Therapist Assistants jobs in Kansas. It also lists 0.91 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 1.25. A value of 1 means Physical Therapist 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.
Physical Therapist Assistants beside other roles in Kansas
The all-occupations median in Kansas is $48,010 per year. The Physical Therapist Assistants median is $64,500 per year. Physical Therapist Assistants is 34.3% 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 Kansas. 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 Physical Therapist 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 Kansas median of $64,000 per year. BLS lists 12,010 jobs and a location quotient of 0.9.
2. Sales Representatives of Services, Except Advertising, Insurance, Financial Services, and Travel, SOC 41-3091, has a Kansas median of $62,580 per year. BLS lists 12,480 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Kansas
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Kansas table, at 47,140 jobs. Physical Therapist Assistants has 1,300 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 1,437,520. 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 Physical Therapist Assistants's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 47,140 jobs in Kansas, a gap of 45,840 from Physical Therapist Assistants. Its median is $27,580 per year, or $36,920 below Physical Therapist Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.32.
2. Registered Nurses has 33,800 jobs in Kansas, a gap of 32,500 from Physical Therapist Assistants. Its median is $79,320 per year, or $14,820 above Physical Therapist Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Kansas
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Kansas role table, at $113,420 per year. Physical Therapist Assistants has $64,500 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,010 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 $113,420 per year in Kansas, or $48,920 above Physical Therapist Assistants. BLS lists 13,580 jobs, compared with 1,300 for Physical Therapist Assistants. Its location quotient is 0.87.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $92,840 per year in Kansas, or $28,340 above Physical Therapist Assistants. BLS lists 24,660 jobs, compared with 1,300 for Physical Therapist Assistants. Its location quotient is 0.76.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Kansas
Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has the highest location quotient in the bounded Kansas role table, at 2.04. Physical Therapist Assistants has 1.25. 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 Physical Therapist Assistants 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 2.04 in Kansas, a gap of 0.79 from Physical Therapist Assistants. BLS lists 32,120 jobs and a median of $42,270 per year, or $22,230 below Physical Therapist Assistants.
2. Packers and Packagers, Hand has a location quotient of 1.91 in Kansas, a gap of 0.66 from Physical Therapist Assistants. BLS lists 9,900 jobs and a median of $44,460 per year, or $20,040 below Physical Therapist Assistants.
Price-level view
What $64,500 may mean after the Kansas price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Kansas is 90.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $64,500 Physical Therapist Assistants median by 90.1 divided by 100. The result is $71,613 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 71.2. Goods are 94.0. Utilities are 88.4. Other services are 93.8. 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 Physical Therapist Assistants row is 8.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 1,300 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $66,320 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 Physical Therapist Assistants. It uses a Kansas 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 $64,500 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 Physical Therapist Assistants row for Kansas 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 1,300 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.25 is not a growth score. Rank 29 of 52 is not a place score. The 90.1 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 31-2021 in BLS area 20. 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 1,300 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.
