WageScope divides the published Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters 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.
Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters in Minnesota: wage guide
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 47-2152 and BLS area 27.
Questions, answered
Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters pay in Minnesota: common questions
What is the median wage for Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters in Minnesota?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $94,410 per year for Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters in Minnesota. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters pay higher in Minnesota than nationally?
Minnesota's published median was 48.0% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Minnesota?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 98.6 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median says in Minnesota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median in Minnesota at $94,410 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 47-2152 and BLS area 27.
BLS lists 10,720 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 $86,700 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Minnesota's Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median is 48.0% above the U.S. Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $63,800 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 47-2152 and area 27. SOC 47-2152 names Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Area 27 names Minnesota. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2152/27 row reports 10,720 wage and salary jobs, 3.63 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.21 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2152/27, the annual median is $94,410 per year, while the matching mean is $86,700 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 27 facts behind this Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters page
Area 27 reports 2,949,820 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,160. Its annual median is $56,920. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2152 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Minnesota runs from $33,540 at the 10th percentile to $125,730 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,680. The median is $56,920. The 75th percentile is $82,520. This is a place check, not a pay range for Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters.
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 27. They do not show related skills or a path into Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters.
1. Area 27, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 128,680 jobs, $38,370 annual median, 43.62 jobs per 1,000, and 1.58 location quotient.
2. Area 27, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 74,840 jobs, $36,370 annual median, 25.37 jobs per 1,000, and 1.01 location quotient.
3. Area 27, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 72,860 jobs, $99,340 annual median, 24.7 jobs per 1,000, and 1.1 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Minnesota wage ladder for Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters
The 10th percentile is $48,720 per year. The 25th percentile is $61,150 per year. The median is $94,410 per year. The 75th percentile is $108,750 per year. The 90th percentile is $121,050 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 $61,150 per year to $108,750 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $72,330. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Minnesota has a annual median of $94,410 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $63,800 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Minnesota. Minnesota is 48.0% 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.
Where Minnesota sits for Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters
Minnesota ranks 4 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 4 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.
1. District of Columbia has a Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $101,020 per year, 1,010 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.48.
2. Illinois has a Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $99,950 per year, 16,750 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.92.
3. Oregon has a Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $97,050 per year, 5,370 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.91.
5. Alaska has a Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $93,920 per year, 1,200 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.23.
Pay leaders
Where Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2152, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. District of Columbia has the highest published median in this set, at $101,020 per year. Minnesota sits at $94,410 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters 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. District of Columbia has a Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $101,020 per year, or $6,610 above Minnesota. BLS lists 1,010 jobs there, compared with 10,720 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.48.
2. Illinois has a Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median of $99,950 per year, or $5,540 above Minnesota. BLS lists 16,750 jobs there, compared with 10,720 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.92.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters in this same-source set, at 47,660 jobs. Minnesota has 10,720. 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. California has 47,660 estimated Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs, a gap of 36,940 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $72,830 per year, or $21,580 below Minnesota. Its location quotient is 0.87.
2. Texas has 44,090 estimated Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs, a gap of 33,370 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $59,840 per year, or $34,570 below Minnesota. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Local-share leaders
Where Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters takes the largest share of local jobs
Guam (territory) has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.61. Minnesota has 1.21. 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 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters 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. Guam (territory) has a location quotient of 1.61, a gap of 0.40 from Minnesota. BLS lists 320 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs and a median of $36,470 per year, or $57,940 below Minnesota.
2. Louisiana has a location quotient of 1.44, a gap of 0.23 from Minnesota. BLS lists 8,360 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs and a median of $63,680 per year, or $30,730 below Minnesota.
3. Maine has a location quotient of 1.41, a gap of 0.20 from Minnesota. BLS lists 2,710 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs and a median of $64,000 per year, or $30,410 below Minnesota.
Job scale and share
How common Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters is in Minnesota
BLS lists 10,720 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters jobs in Minnesota. It also lists 3.63 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 1.21. A value of 1 means Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters 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.
Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters beside other roles in Minnesota
The all-occupations median in Minnesota is $56,920 per year. The Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median is $94,410 per year. Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters is 65.9% 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 Minnesota. 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 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. 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 Minnesota median of $99,340 per year. BLS lists 72,860 jobs and a location quotient of 1.1.
2. Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists, SOC 13-1161, has a Minnesota median of $87,510 per year. BLS lists 21,280 jobs and a location quotient of 1.25.
3. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Minnesota median of $101,510 per year. BLS lists 70,110 jobs and a location quotient of 1.09.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Minnesota
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Minnesota table, at 128,680 jobs. Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters has 10,720 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 2,949,820. 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 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 128,680 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of 117,960 from Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its median is $38,370 per year, or $56,040 below Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its location quotient is 1.58.
2. Retail Salespersons has 74,840 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of 64,120 from Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its median is $36,370 per year, or $58,040 below Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its location quotient is 1.01.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Minnesota
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Minnesota role table, at $130,050 per year. Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters has $94,410 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $56,920 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 $130,050 per year in Minnesota, or $35,640 above Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. BLS lists 35,890 jobs, compared with 10,720 for Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its location quotient is 1.12.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $101,510 per year in Minnesota, or $7,100 above Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. BLS lists 70,110 jobs, compared with 10,720 for Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. Its location quotient is 1.09.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Minnesota
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Minnesota role table, at 1.7. Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters has 1.21. 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 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Bartenders has a location quotient of 1.7 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.49 from Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. BLS lists 24,420 jobs and a median of $26,900 per year, or $67,510 below Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.68 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.47 from Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. BLS lists 44,810 jobs and a median of $46,920 per year, or $47,490 below Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters.
Price-level view
What $94,410 may mean after the Minnesota price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Minnesota is 98.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $94,410 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters median by 98.6 divided by 100. The result is $95,730 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 91.3. Goods are 100.5. Utilities are 90.8. Other services are 100.2. 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 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters row is 7%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.6%. 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 10,720 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $86,700 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 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. It uses a Minnesota 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 $94,410 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 Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters row for Minnesota 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 10,720 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.21 is not a growth score. Rank 4 of 54 is not a place score. The 98.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-2152 in BLS area 27. 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 10,720 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.
