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 45.
Questions, answered
Psychiatric Aides pay in South Carolina: common questions
What is the median wage for Psychiatric Aides in South Carolina?

What the Psychiatric Aides median says in South Carolina
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Psychiatric Aides median in South Carolina at $36,320 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 45.
BLS lists 200 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 $35,600 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
South Carolina's Psychiatric Aides median is 19.1% 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 45. SOC 31-1133 names Psychiatric Aides. Area 45 names South Carolina. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-1133/45 row reports 200 wage and salary jobs, 0.09 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.38 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-1133/45, the annual median is $36,320 per year, while the matching mean is $35,600 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 45 facts behind this Psychiatric Aides page
Area 45 reports 2,305,080 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $59,280. Its annual median is $46,490. 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 South Carolina runs from $27,070 at the 10th percentile to $103,010 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $34,630. The median is $46,490. The 75th percentile is $70,340. 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 45. They do not show related skills or a path into Psychiatric Aides.
1. Area 45, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 67,310 jobs, $30,690 annual median, 29.2 jobs per 1,000, and 1.16 location quotient.
2. Area 45, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 65,070 jobs, $27,520 annual median, 28.23 jobs per 1,000, and 1.14 location quotient.
3. Area 45, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 56,700 jobs, $37,530 annual median, 24.6 jobs per 1,000, and 1.3 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the South Carolina wage ladder for Psychiatric Aides
The 10th percentile is $32,320 per year. The 25th percentile is $32,470 per year. The median is $36,320 per year. The 75th percentile is $37,200 per year. The 90th percentile is $39,660 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 $32,470 per year to $37,200 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $7,340. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare South Carolina with its state and the U.S.
South Carolina has a annual median of $36,320 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 South Carolina. South Carolina is 19.1% 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.
South Carolina ranks 35 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 35 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.
32. West Virginia has a Psychiatric Aides median of $37,910 per year, 220 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.34.
33. Virginia has a Psychiatric Aides median of $37,280 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
34. Georgia has a Psychiatric Aides median of $36,790 per year, 1,090 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.98.
36. Arkansas has a Psychiatric Aides median of $36,270 per year, 490 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.64.
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. South Carolina sits at $36,320 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 $18,720 above South Carolina. BLS lists 620 jobs there, compared with 200 in South Carolina. The location quotient is 0.92.
2. Washington has a Psychiatric Aides median of $52,570 per year, or $16,250 above South Carolina. BLS lists 330 jobs there, compared with 200 in South Carolina. The location quotient is 0.4.
3. Hawaii has a Psychiatric Aides median of $52,310 per year, or $15,990 above South Carolina. BLS lists 30 jobs there, compared with 200 in South Carolina. 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. South Carolina has 200. 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 4,920 jobs from South Carolina. Its median is $50,220 per year, or $13,900 above South Carolina. Its location quotient is 2.31.
2. California has 3,760 estimated Psychiatric Aides jobs, a gap of 3,560 jobs from South Carolina. Its median is $47,500 per year, or $11,180 above South Carolina. Its location quotient is 0.9.
3. Mississippi has 2,490 estimated Psychiatric Aides jobs, a gap of 2,290 jobs from South Carolina. Its median is $30,510 per year, or $5,810 below South Carolina. 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. South Carolina has 0.38. 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 8.99 from South Carolina. BLS lists 2,490 Psychiatric Aides jobs and a median of $30,510 per year, or $5,810 below South Carolina.
2. Vermont has a location quotient of 4.71, a gap of 4.33 from South Carolina. BLS lists 330 Psychiatric Aides jobs and a median of $47,860 per year, or $11,540 above South Carolina.
3. Oregon has a location quotient of 3.45, a gap of 3.07 from South Carolina. BLS lists 1,550 Psychiatric Aides jobs and a median of $48,300 per year, or $11,980 above South Carolina.
Job scale and share
How common Psychiatric Aides is in South Carolina
BLS lists 200 Psychiatric Aides jobs in South Carolina. It also lists 0.09 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 0.38. A value of 1 means Psychiatric Aides has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower 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.
Psychiatric Aides beside other roles in South Carolina
The all-occupations median in South Carolina is $46,490 per year. The Psychiatric Aides median is $36,320 per year. Psychiatric Aides is 21.9% 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 South Carolina. 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. Stockers and Order Fillers, SOC 53-7065, has a South Carolina median of $36,020 per year. BLS lists 41,800 jobs and a location quotient of 1.
2. Office Clerks, General, SOC 43-9061, has a South Carolina median of $36,840 per year. BLS lists 42,250 jobs and a location quotient of 1.16.
3. Cooks, Restaurant, SOC 35-2014, has a South Carolina median of $35,740 per year. BLS lists 25,890 jobs and a location quotient of 1.24.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in South Carolina
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded South Carolina table, at 67,310 jobs. Psychiatric Aides has 200 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 2,305,080. 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. Retail Salespersons has 67,310 jobs in South Carolina, a gap of 67,110 from Psychiatric Aides. Its median is $30,690 per year, or $5,630 below Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 1.16.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 65,070 jobs in South Carolina, a gap of 64,870 from Psychiatric Aides. Its median is $27,520 per year, or $8,800 below Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 1.14.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around South Carolina
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded South Carolina role table, at $106,080 per year. Psychiatric Aides has $36,320 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,490 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 $106,080 per year in South Carolina, or $69,760 above Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 32,230 jobs, compared with 200 for Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 0.62.
2. Project Management Specialists has a median of $95,040 per year in South Carolina, or $58,720 above Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 17,040 jobs, compared with 200 for Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 1.08.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $82,360 per year in South Carolina, or $46,040 above Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 49,750 jobs, compared with 200 for Psychiatric Aides. Its location quotient is 0.99.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in South Carolina
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has the highest location quotient in the bounded South Carolina role table, at 2.02. Psychiatric Aides has 0.38. 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. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.02 in South Carolina, a gap of 1.64 from Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 42,150 jobs and a median of $45,500 per year, or $9,180 above Psychiatric Aides.
2. Waiters and Waitresses has a location quotient of 1.4 in South Carolina, a gap of 1.02 from Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 47,200 jobs and a median of $18,370 per year, or $17,950 below Psychiatric Aides.
3. Customer Service Representatives has a location quotient of 1.33 in South Carolina, a gap of 0.95 from Psychiatric Aides. BLS lists 51,000 jobs and a median of $38,860 per year, or $2,540 above Psychiatric Aides.
Price-level view
What $36,320 may mean after the South Carolina price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for South Carolina is 93.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 6.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $36,320 Psychiatric Aides median by 93.7 divided by 100. The result is $38,742 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 80.5. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 88.3. Other services are 98.3. 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 1.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. 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 200 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $35,600 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 South Carolina 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 $36,320 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 South Carolina 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 200 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.38 is not a growth score. Rank 35 of 39 is not a place score. The 93.7 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 45. 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 200 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.
