WageScope divides the published Psychiatric Aides 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 31-1133 and BLS area 20.
Questions, answered
Psychiatric Aides pay in Kansas: common questions
What is the median wage for Psychiatric Aides in Kansas?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $38,390 per year for Psychiatric Aides in Kansas. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Psychiatric Aides pay higher in Kansas than nationally?
Kansas's published median was 14.5% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Kansas?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 90.1 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.
How many Psychiatric Aides jobs does BLS estimate in Kansas?
BLS published an employment estimate of 580 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.

Tailor for a real Psychiatric Aides job, not a generic wage number.
Pick an eligible listing, then MeritLog can help you prepare from experience you have confirmed. WageScope never turns a BLS estimate into a qualification or résumé claim.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Psychiatric Aides median in Kansas at $38,390 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 31-1133 and BLS area 20.
BLS lists 580 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 $37,940 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Kansas's Psychiatric Aides median is 14.5% below the U.S. Psychiatric Aides median of $44,910 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 31-1133 and area 20. SOC 31-1133 names Psychiatric Aides. Area 20 names Kansas. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-1133/20 row reports 580 wage and salary jobs, 0.4 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.77 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-1133/20, the annual median is $38,390 per year, while the matching mean is $37,940 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 Psychiatric Aides 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 31-1133 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 Psychiatric Aides.
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 Psychiatric Aides.
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.
4. Area 20, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 33,080 jobs, $28,800 annual median, 23.01 jobs per 1,000, and 1.16 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Kansas wage ladder for Psychiatric Aides
The 10th percentile is $34,110 per year. The 25th percentile is $38,130 per year. The median is $38,390 per year. The 75th percentile is $38,390 per year. The 90th percentile is $45,620 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 $38,130 per year to $38,390 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $11,510. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Kansas has a annual median of $38,390 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $44,910 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Kansas. Kansas is 14.5% 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.
Kansas ranks 30 of 39 among states and territories with a published annual median for Psychiatric Aides. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 30 of 39 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.
27. Kentucky has a Psychiatric Aides median of $38,610 per year, 250 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.55.
28. Ohio has a Psychiatric Aides median of $38,480 per year, 980 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.77.
29. North Carolina has a Psychiatric Aides median of $38,400 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
31. Florida has a Psychiatric Aides median of $37,930 per year, 2,210 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.98.
Pay leaders
Where Psychiatric Aides medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 31-1133, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Minnesota has the highest published median in this set, at $55,040 per year. Kansas sits at $38,390 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Psychiatric Aides 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. Minnesota has a Psychiatric Aides median of $55,040 per year, or $16,650 above Kansas. BLS lists 620 jobs there, compared with 580 in Kansas. The location quotient is 0.92.
2. Washington has a Psychiatric Aides median of $52,570 per year, or $14,180 above Kansas. BLS lists 330 jobs there, compared with 580 in Kansas. The location quotient is 0.4.
3. Hawaii has a Psychiatric Aides median of $52,310 per year, or $13,920 above Kansas. BLS lists 30 jobs there, compared with 580 in Kansas. The location quotient is 0.22.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Psychiatric Aides jobs
New York has the largest published state job estimate for Psychiatric Aides in this same-source set, at 5,120 jobs. Kansas has 580. 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 has 5,120 estimated Psychiatric Aides jobs, a gap of 4,540 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $50,220 per year, or $11,830 above Kansas. Its location quotient is 2.31.
2. California has 3,760 estimated Psychiatric Aides jobs, a gap of 3,180 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $47,500 per year, or $9,110 above Kansas. Its location quotient is 0.9.
3. Mississippi has 2,490 estimated Psychiatric Aides jobs, a gap of 1,910 jobs from Kansas. Its median is $30,510 per year, or $7,880 below Kansas. Its location quotient is 9.37.
Local-share leaders
Where Psychiatric Aides takes the largest share of local jobs
Mississippi has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 9.37. Kansas has 1.77. 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 Psychiatric Aides 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. Mississippi has a location quotient of 9.37, a gap of 7.60 from Kansas. BLS lists 2,490 Psychiatric Aides jobs and a median of $30,510 per year, or $7,880 below Kansas.
2. Vermont has a location quotient of 4.71, a gap of 2.94 from Kansas. BLS lists 330 Psychiatric Aides jobs and a median of $47,860 per year, or $9,470 above Kansas.
3. Oregon has a location quotient of 3.45, a gap of 1.68 from Kansas. BLS lists 1,550 Psychiatric Aides jobs and a median of $48,300 per year, or $9,910 above Kansas.
Job scale and share
How common Psychiatric Aides is in Kansas
BLS lists 580 Psychiatric Aides jobs in Kansas. It also lists 0.4 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 1.77. A value of 1 means Psychiatric Aides 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 Kansas is $48,010 per year. The Psychiatric Aides median is $38,390 per year. Psychiatric Aides is 20.0% 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 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 Psychiatric Aides. 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 Food Preparation and Serving Workers, SOC 35-1012, has a Kansas median of $38,220 per year. BLS lists 10,520 jobs and a location quotient of 0.93.
2. Nursing Assistants, SOC 31-1131, has a Kansas median of $38,010 per year. BLS lists 24,610 jobs and a location quotient of 1.84.
3. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Kansas median of $40,250 per year. BLS lists 23,270 jobs and a location quotient of 0.85.
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. Psychiatric Aides has 580 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 Psychiatric Aides'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 46,560 from Psychiatric Aides. Its median is $27,580 per year, or $10,810 below Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 1.32.
2. Registered Nurses has 33,800 jobs in Kansas, a gap of 33,220 from Psychiatric Aides. Its median is $79,320 per year, or $40,930 above Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 1.08.
3. Retail Salespersons has 33,360 jobs in Kansas, a gap of 32,780 from Psychiatric Aides. Its median is $32,180 per year, or $6,210 below Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 0.93.
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. Psychiatric Aides has $38,390 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 $75,030 above Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 13,580 jobs, compared with 580 for Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 0.87.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $92,840 per year in Kansas, or $54,450 above Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 24,660 jobs, compared with 580 for Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 0.76.
3. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a median of $83,350 per year in Kansas, or $44,960 above Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 9,810 jobs, compared with 580 for Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 0.98.
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. Psychiatric Aides has 1.77. 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 Psychiatric Aides 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 0.27 from Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 32,120 jobs and a median of $42,270 per year, or $3,880 above Psychiatric Aides.
2. Packers and Packagers, Hand has a location quotient of 1.91 in Kansas, a gap of 0.14 from Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 9,900 jobs and a median of $44,460 per year, or $6,070 above Psychiatric Aides.
Price-level view
What $38,390 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 $38,390 Psychiatric Aides median by 90.1 divided by 100. The result is $42,623 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 Psychiatric Aides row is 16.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.6%. 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 580 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $37,940 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 Psychiatric Aides. 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 $38,390 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 Psychiatric Aides 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 580 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.77 is not a growth score. Rank 30 of 39 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 31-1133 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.
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.
