What the Psychiatric Technicians median says in North Dakota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Psychiatric Technicians median in North Dakota at $39,960 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 29-2053 and BLS area 38.
BLS lists 270 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 $43,620 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
North Dakota's Psychiatric Technicians median is 11.5% below the U.S. Psychiatric Technicians median of $45,130 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 29-2053 and area 38. SOC 29-2053 names Psychiatric Technicians. Area 38 names North Dakota. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-2053/38 row reports 270 wage and salary jobs, 0.63 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.62 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-2053/38, the annual median is $39,960 per year, while the matching mean is $43,620 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 38 facts behind this Psychiatric Technicians page
Area 38 reports 429,430 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,050. Its annual median is $52,480. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-2053 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in North Dakota runs from $31,330 at the 10th percentile to $103,160 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $38,600. The median is $52,480. The 75th percentile is $75,810. This is a place check, not a pay range for Psychiatric Technicians.
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 38. They do not show related skills or a path into Psychiatric Technicians.
1. Area 38, SOC 53-3032, Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers: 11,870 jobs, $60,910 annual median, 27.65 jobs per 1,000, and 2.08 location quotient.
2. Area 38, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 11,470 jobs, $30,080 annual median, 26.71 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
3. Area 38, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 11,340 jobs, $80,730 annual median, 26.4 jobs per 1,000, and 1.21 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the North Dakota wage ladder for Psychiatric Technicians
The 10th percentile is $38,350 per year. The 25th percentile is $39,310 per year. The median is $39,960 per year. The 75th percentile is $46,560 per year. The 90th percentile is $55,760 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 $39,310 per year to $46,560 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $17,410. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
North Dakota has a annual median of $39,960 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $45,130 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for North Dakota. North Dakota is 11.5% 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.
Where North Dakota sits for Psychiatric Technicians
North Dakota ranks 38 of 49 among states and territories with a published annual median for Psychiatric Technicians. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 38 of 49 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.
35. Minnesota has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $40,300 per year, 3,550 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.19.
36. Wisconsin has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $40,290 per year, 4,430 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.49.
37. Texas has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $39,970 per year, 11,350 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.8.
39. Tennessee has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $39,800 per year, 3,810 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.15.
Pay leaders
Where Psychiatric Technicians medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 29-2053, 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 $67,430 per year. North Dakota sits at $39,960 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 Technicians 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 Psychiatric Technicians median of $67,430 per year, or $27,470 above North Dakota. BLS lists 380 jobs there, compared with 270 in North Dakota. The location quotient is 0.53.
2. Oregon has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $59,820 per year, or $19,860 above North Dakota. BLS lists 1,250 jobs there, compared with 270 in North Dakota. The location quotient is 0.63.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Psychiatric Technicians jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Psychiatric Technicians in this same-source set, at 14,100 jobs. North Dakota has 270. 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 14,100 estimated Psychiatric Technicians jobs, a gap of 13,830 jobs from North Dakota. Its median is $49,140 per year, or $9,180 above North Dakota. Its location quotient is 0.77.
2. Florida has 12,710 estimated Psychiatric Technicians jobs, a gap of 12,440 jobs from North Dakota. Its median is $43,570 per year, or $3,610 above North Dakota. Its location quotient is 1.27.
Local-share leaders
Where Psychiatric Technicians takes the largest share of local jobs
Hawaii has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.25. North Dakota has 0.62. 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 Technicians 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. Hawaii has a location quotient of 3.25, a gap of 2.63 from North Dakota. BLS lists 2,060 Psychiatric Technicians jobs and a median of $55,150 per year, or $15,190 above North Dakota.
2. Arizona has a location quotient of 2.49, a gap of 1.87 from North Dakota. BLS lists 8,160 Psychiatric Technicians jobs and a median of $45,640 per year, or $5,680 above North Dakota.
3. Indiana has a location quotient of 2.1, a gap of 1.48 from North Dakota. BLS lists 6,790 Psychiatric Technicians jobs and a median of $40,910 per year, or $950 above North Dakota.
Job scale and share
How common Psychiatric Technicians is in North Dakota
BLS lists 270 Psychiatric Technicians jobs in North Dakota. It also lists 0.63 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 0.62. A value of 1 means Psychiatric Technicians 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 Technicians beside other roles in North Dakota
The all-occupations median in North Dakota is $52,480 per year. The Psychiatric Technicians median is $39,960 per year. Psychiatric Technicians is 23.9% 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 North Dakota. 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 Technicians. 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. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a North Dakota median of $39,440 per year. BLS lists 7,730 jobs and a location quotient of 0.65.
2. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary, SOC 25-9045, has a North Dakota median of $38,240 per year. BLS lists 5,600 jobs and a location quotient of 1.43.
3. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a North Dakota median of $37,750 per year. BLS lists 6,720 jobs and a location quotient of 1.1.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in North Dakota
Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded North Dakota table, at 11,870 jobs. Psychiatric Technicians has 270 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 429,430. 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 Technicians's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 11,870 jobs in North Dakota, a gap of 11,600 from Psychiatric Technicians. Its median is $60,910 per year, or $20,950 above Psychiatric Technicians. Its location quotient is 2.08.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 11,470 jobs in North Dakota, a gap of 11,200 from Psychiatric Technicians. Its median is $30,080 per year, or $9,880 below Psychiatric Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around North Dakota
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded North Dakota role table, at $98,170 per year. Psychiatric Technicians has $39,960 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $52,480 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 $98,170 per year in North Dakota, or $58,210 above Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 11,150 jobs, compared with 270 for Psychiatric Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.15.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers has a median of $81,370 per year in North Dakota, or $41,410 above Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 4,350 jobs, compared with 270 for Psychiatric Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.94.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in North Dakota
Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded North Dakota role table, at 3.7. Psychiatric Technicians has 0.62. 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 Technicians with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 3.7 in North Dakota, a gap of 3.08 from Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 4,890 jobs and a median of $62,150 per year, or $22,190 above Psychiatric Technicians.
2. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 2.81 in North Dakota, a gap of 2.19 from Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 4,030 jobs and a median of $30,290 per year, or $9,670 below Psychiatric Technicians.
Price-level view
What $39,960 may mean after the North Dakota price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for North Dakota is 89.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $39,960 Psychiatric Technicians median by 89.0 divided by 100. The result is $44,920 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 71.4. Goods are 95.7. Utilities are 73.7. Other services are 91.2. 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 Psychiatric Technicians row is 11.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.3%. 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 270 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $43,620 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 Technicians. It uses a North Dakota 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 $39,960 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 Technicians row for North Dakota 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 270 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.62 is not a growth score. Rank 38 of 49 is not a place score. The 89.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 29-2053 in BLS area 38. 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 270 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.
