WageScope divides the published Physicists 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 19-2012 and BLS area 11460.
Questions, answered
Physicists pay in Ann Arbor, MI: common questions
What is the median wage for Physicists in Ann Arbor, MI?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $64,380 per year for Physicists in Ann Arbor, MI. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Physicists pay higher in Ann Arbor, MI than nationally?
Ann Arbor, MI's published median was 62.6% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Ann Arbor, MI?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 100.9 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.
How many Physicists jobs does BLS estimate in Ann Arbor, MI?
BLS published an employment estimate of 80 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.

Ann Arbor, MI was 62.6% below the U.S. median for Physicists. It ranked 59 of 60 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Physicists median in Ann Arbor, MI at $64,380 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 19-2012 and BLS area 11460.
BLS lists 80 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 $100,460 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Ann Arbor, MI's Physicists median is 62.6% below the U.S. Physicists median of $172,250 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 19-2012 and area 11460. SOC 19-2012 names Physicists. Area 11460 names Ann Arbor, MI. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-2012/11460 row reports 80 wage and salary jobs, 0.37 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 2.81 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-2012/11460, the annual median is $64,380 per year, while the matching mean is $100,460 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 11460 reports 219,730 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $73,520. Its annual median is $55,380. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-2012 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Ann Arbor, MI runs from $33,790 at the 10th percentile to $135,330 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $38,230. The median is $55,380. The 75th percentile is $87,200. This is a place check, not a pay range for Physicists.
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 11460. They do not show related skills or a path into Physicists.
1. Area 11460, SOC 25-9044, Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary: 12,860 jobs, $38,990 annual median, 58.51 jobs per 1,000, and 55.45 location quotient.
2. Area 11460, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 10,980 jobs, $103,450 annual median, 49.96 jobs per 1,000, and 2.3 location quotient.
3. Area 11460, SOC 43-9061, Office Clerks, General: 5,460 jobs, $38,350 annual median, 24.83 jobs per 1,000, and 1.57 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Ann Arbor, MI wage ladder for Physicists
The 10th percentile is $64,380 per year. The 25th percentile is $64,380 per year. The median is $64,380 per year. The 75th percentile is $114,920 per year. The 90th percentile is $176,440 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 $64,380 per year to $114,920 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $112,060. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Ann Arbor, MI has a annual median of $64,380 per year. Michigan has $94,520 per year. The U.S. row has $172,250 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Ann Arbor, MI is 31.9% below Michigan on the same published median. Ann Arbor, MI is 62.6% 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.
Ann Arbor, MI ranks 59 of 60 among metro areas with a published annual median for Physicists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 59 of 60 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.
56. Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood, IN has a Physicists median of $105,940 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.55.
57. Boulder, CO has a Physicists median of $104,580 per year, 860 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 33.89.
58. Lansing-East Lansing, MI has a Physicists median of $71,580 per year, 230 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 8.11.
60. Portland-South Portland, ME has a Physicists median of $57,780 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.35.
Pay leaders
Where Physicists medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 19-2012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has the highest published median in this set, at $272,480 per year. Ann Arbor, MI sits at $64,380 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Physicists 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. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has a Physicists median of $272,480 per year, or $208,100 above Ann Arbor, MI. BLS lists 100 jobs there, compared with 80 in Ann Arbor, MI. The location quotient is 0.27.
2. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL has a Physicists median of $266,260 per year, or $201,880 above Ann Arbor, MI. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 80 in Ann Arbor, MI. The location quotient is 0.35.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Physicists jobs
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has the largest published metro job estimate for Physicists in this same-source set, at 1,520 jobs. Ann Arbor, MI has 80. 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. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has 1,520 estimated Physicists jobs, a gap of 1,440 jobs from Ann Arbor, MI. Its median is $171,580 per year, or $107,200 above Ann Arbor, MI. Its location quotient is 3.69.
2. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 1,510 estimated Physicists jobs, a gap of 1,430 jobs from Ann Arbor, MI. Its median is $137,140 per year, or $72,760 above Ann Arbor, MI. Its location quotient is 2.54.
Local-share leaders
Where Physicists takes the largest share of local jobs
Boulder, CO has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 33.89. Ann Arbor, MI has 2.81. 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 Physicists 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. Boulder, CO has a location quotient of 33.89, a gap of 31.08 from Ann Arbor, MI. BLS lists 860 Physicists jobs and a median of $104,580 per year, or $40,200 above Ann Arbor, MI.
2. Lansing-East Lansing, MI has a location quotient of 8.11, a gap of 5.30 from Ann Arbor, MI. BLS lists 230 Physicists jobs and a median of $71,580 per year, or $7,200 above Ann Arbor, MI.
3. Albuquerque, NM has a location quotient of 6.17, a gap of 3.36 from Ann Arbor, MI. BLS lists 330 Physicists jobs and a median of $165,340 per year, or $100,960 above Ann Arbor, MI.
Job scale and share
How common Physicists is in Ann Arbor, MI
BLS lists 80 Physicists jobs in Ann Arbor, MI. It also lists 0.37 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 2.81. A value of 1 means Physicists 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.
The all-occupations median in Ann Arbor, MI is $55,380 per year. The Physicists median is $64,380 per year. Physicists is 16.3% 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 Ann Arbor, MI. 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 Physicists. 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. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a Ann Arbor, MI median of $64,060 per year. BLS lists 1,630 jobs and a location quotient of 0.83.
2. Computer User Support Specialists, SOC 15-1232, has a Ann Arbor, MI median of $55,010 per year. BLS lists 1,540 jobs and a location quotient of 1.52.
3. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Ann Arbor, MI median of $51,100 per year. BLS lists 1,510 jobs and a location quotient of 0.78.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Ann Arbor, MI
Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Ann Arbor, MI table, at 12,860 jobs. Physicists has 80 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 219,730. 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 Physicists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary has 12,860 jobs in Ann Arbor, MI, a gap of 12,780 from Physicists. Its median is $38,990 per year, or $25,390 below Physicists. Its location quotient is 55.45.
2. Registered Nurses has 10,980 jobs in Ann Arbor, MI, a gap of 10,900 from Physicists. Its median is $103,450 per year, or $39,070 above Physicists. Its location quotient is 2.3.
3. Office Clerks, General has 5,460 jobs in Ann Arbor, MI, a gap of 5,380 from Physicists. Its median is $38,350 per year, or $26,030 below Physicists. Its location quotient is 1.57.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Ann Arbor, MI
Mechanical Engineers has the highest published median in the bounded Ann Arbor, MI role table, at $127,310 per year. Physicists has $64,380 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $55,380 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. Mechanical Engineers has a median of $127,310 per year in Ann Arbor, MI, or $62,930 above Physicists. BLS lists 2,280 jobs, compared with 80 for Physicists. Its location quotient is 5.43.
2. Software Developers has a median of $126,830 per year in Ann Arbor, MI, or $62,450 above Physicists. BLS lists 2,740 jobs, compared with 80 for Physicists. Its location quotient is 1.15.
3. General and Operations Managers has a median of $106,000 per year in Ann Arbor, MI, or $41,620 above Physicists. BLS lists 3,180 jobs, compared with 80 for Physicists. Its location quotient is 0.64.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Ann Arbor, MI
Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary has the highest location quotient in the bounded Ann Arbor, MI role table, at 55.45. Physicists has 2.81. 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 Physicists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary has a location quotient of 55.45 in Ann Arbor, MI, a gap of 52.64 from Physicists. BLS lists 12,860 jobs and a median of $38,990 per year, or $25,390 below Physicists.
2. Tutors has a location quotient of 7.38 in Ann Arbor, MI, a gap of 4.57 from Physicists. BLS lists 1,820 jobs and a median of $37,380 per year, or $27,000 below Physicists.
3. Recreation Workers has a location quotient of 6.8 in Ann Arbor, MI, a gap of 3.99 from Physicists. BLS lists 3,190 jobs and a median of $35,090 per year, or $29,290 below Physicists.
Price-level view
What $64,380 may mean after the Ann Arbor, MI price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Ann Arbor, MI is 100.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 0.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $64,380 Physicists median by 100.9 divided by 100. The result is $63,818 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 125.3. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 98.2. 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.
The employment RSE for this Physicists row is 5.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.9%. 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 80 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $100,460 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 Physicists. It uses a Ann Arbor, MI 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 $64,380 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 Physicists row for Ann Arbor, MI 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 80 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.81 is not a growth score. Rank 59 of 60 is not a place score. The 100.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 19-2012 in BLS area 11460. 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.
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.
