Rapid City, SD was 3.8% below the U.S. median for Physician Assistants. It ranked 197 of 348 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Physician Assistants median says in Rapid City, SD
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Physician Assistants median in Rapid City, SD at $130,740 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 29-1071 and BLS area 39660.
BLS lists 150 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 $129,590 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Rapid City, SD's Physician Assistants median is 3.8% below the U.S. Physician Assistants median of $135,880 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 29-1071 and area 39660. SOC 29-1071 names Physician Assistants. Area 39660 names Rapid City, SD. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-1071/39660 row reports 150 wage and salary jobs, 2.05 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.96 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-1071/39660, the annual median is $130,740 per year, while the matching mean is $129,590 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 39660 facts behind this Physician Assistants page
Area 39660 reports 73,820 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $57,850. Its annual median is $46,270. The employment RSE is 0.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-1071 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Rapid City, SD runs from $29,100 at the 10th percentile to $97,660 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $34,920. The median is $46,270. The 75th percentile is $64,780. This is a place check, not a pay range for Physician 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 39660. They do not show related skills or a path into Physician Assistants.
1. Area 39660, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 3,090 jobs, $33,350 annual median, 41.81 jobs per 1,000, and 1.67 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Rapid City, SD wage ladder for Physician Assistants
The 10th percentile is $97,110 per year. The 25th percentile is $113,340 per year. The median is $130,740 per year. The 75th percentile is $145,390 per year. The 90th percentile is $157,950 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 $113,340 per year to $145,390 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $60,840. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Rapid City, SD with its state and the U.S.
Rapid City, SD has a annual median of $130,740 per year. South Dakota has $133,200 per year. The U.S. row has $135,880 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Rapid City, SD is 1.8% below South Dakota on the same published median. Rapid City, SD is 3.8% 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 Rapid City, SD sits for Physician Assistants
Rapid City, SD ranks 197 of 348 among metro areas with a published annual median for Physician 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 197 of 348 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.
194. Battle Creek, MI has a Physician Assistants median of $130,870 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.25.
195. Louisville/Jefferson County, KY-IN has a Physician Assistants median of $130,830 per year, 380 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.53.
196. Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR has a Physician Assistants median of $130,810 per year, 180 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.62.
198. Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, FL has a Physician Assistants median of $130,730 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.74.
Pay leaders
Where Physician Assistants medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 29-1071, 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 $223,640 per year. Rapid City, SD sits at $130,740 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Physician 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 Physician Assistants median of $223,640 per year, or $92,900 above Rapid City, SD. BLS lists 1,030 jobs there, compared with 150 in Rapid City, SD. The location quotient is 0.87.
2. Bakersfield-Delano, CA has a Physician Assistants median of $198,070 per year, or $67,330 above Rapid City, SD. BLS lists 350 jobs there, compared with 150 in Rapid City, SD. The location quotient is 0.99.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Physician Assistants jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Physician Assistants in this same-source set, at 16,800 jobs. Rapid City, SD has 150. 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 16,800 estimated Physician Assistants jobs, a gap of 16,650 jobs from Rapid City, SD. Its median is $167,650 per year, or $36,910 above Rapid City, SD. Its location quotient is 1.7.
2. Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA has 3,970 estimated Physician Assistants jobs, a gap of 3,820 jobs from Rapid City, SD. Its median is $111,810 per year, or $18,930 below Rapid City, SD. Its location quotient is 1.32.
Local-share leaders
Where Physician Assistants takes the largest share of local jobs
Ithaca, NY has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.62. Rapid City, SD has 1.96. 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 Physician 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. Ithaca, NY has a location quotient of 4.62, a gap of 2.66 from Rapid City, SD. BLS lists 230 Physician Assistants jobs and a median of $138,920 per year, or $8,180 above Rapid City, SD.
2. Rochester, MN has a location quotient of 3.73, a gap of 1.77 from Rapid City, SD. BLS lists 480 Physician Assistants jobs and a median of $137,340 per year, or $6,600 above Rapid City, SD.
3. Ann Arbor, MI has a location quotient of 3.53, a gap of 1.57 from Rapid City, SD. BLS lists 810 Physician Assistants jobs and a median of $135,310 per year, or $4,570 above Rapid City, SD.
Job scale and share
How common Physician Assistants is in Rapid City, SD
BLS lists 150 Physician Assistants jobs in Rapid City, SD. It also lists 2.05 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 1.96. A value of 1 means Physician 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.
Physician Assistants beside other roles in Rapid City, SD
The all-occupations median in Rapid City, SD is $46,270 per year. The Physician Assistants median is $130,740 per year. Physician Assistants is 182.6% 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 Rapid City, SD. 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 Physician 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. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Rapid City, SD median of $130,410 per year. BLS lists 700 jobs and a location quotient of 0.42.
2. Management Analysts, SOC 13-1111, has a Rapid City, SD median of $92,710 per year. BLS lists 510 jobs and a location quotient of 1.2.
3. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Rapid City, SD median of $79,380 per year. BLS lists 2,480 jobs and a location quotient of 1.55.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Rapid City, SD
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Rapid City, SD table, at 3,090 jobs. Physician Assistants has 150 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 73,820. 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 Physician Assistants's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 3,090 jobs in Rapid City, SD, a gap of 2,940 from Physician Assistants. Its median is $33,350 per year, or $97,390 below Physician Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.67.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 2,860 jobs in Rapid City, SD, a gap of 2,710 from Physician Assistants. Its median is $29,440 per year, or $101,300 below Physician Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.56.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Rapid City, SD
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Rapid City, SD role table, at $130,410 per year. Physician Assistants has $130,740 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,270 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $130,410 per year in Rapid City, SD, or $330 below Physician Assistants. BLS lists 700 jobs, compared with 150 for Physician Assistants. Its location quotient is 0.42.
2. Management Analysts has a median of $92,710 per year in Rapid City, SD, or $38,030 below Physician Assistants. BLS lists 510 jobs, compared with 150 for Physician Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.2.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $79,380 per year in Rapid City, SD, or $51,360 below Physician Assistants. BLS lists 2,480 jobs, compared with 150 for Physician Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.55.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Rapid City, SD
Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has the highest location quotient in the bounded Rapid City, SD role table, at 4.57. Physician Assistants has 1.96. 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 Physician Assistants with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Hotel, Motel, and Resort Desk Clerks has a location quotient of 4.57 in Rapid City, SD, a gap of 2.61 from Physician Assistants. BLS lists 570 jobs and a median of $30,340 per year, or $100,400 below Physician Assistants.
2. Receptionists and Information Clerks has a location quotient of 2.87 in Rapid City, SD, a gap of 0.91 from Physician Assistants. BLS lists 1,240 jobs and a median of $37,990 per year, or $92,750 below Physician Assistants.
Price-level view
What $130,740 may mean after the Rapid City, SD price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Rapid City, SD is 89.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $130,740 Physician Assistants median by 89.2 divided by 100. The result is $146,635 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 72.6. Goods are 95.5. Utilities are 79.1. Other services are 91.9. 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 Physician Assistants row is 4.9%. 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 150 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $129,590 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 Physician Assistants. It uses a Rapid City, SD 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $130,740 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 Physician Assistants row for Rapid City, SD 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 150 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.96 is not a growth score. Rank 197 of 348 is not a place score. The 89.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 29-1071 in BLS area 39660. 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 150 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.
