Psychiatric Technicians pay in Rhode Island: common questions
What is the median wage for Psychiatric Technicians in Rhode Island?

What the Psychiatric Technicians median says in Rhode Island
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Psychiatric Technicians median in Rhode Island at $48,520 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 44.
BLS lists 990 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 $50,310 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Rhode Island's Psychiatric Technicians median is 7.5% above 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 44. SOC 29-2053 names Psychiatric Technicians. Area 44 names Rhode Island. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-2053/44 row reports 990 wage and salary jobs, 1.97 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.95 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-2053/44, the annual median is $48,520 per year, while the matching mean is $50,310 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 44 facts behind this Psychiatric Technicians page
Area 44 reports 501,340 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,900. Its annual median is $56,780. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-2053 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Rhode Island runs from $32,470 at the 10th percentile to $128,120 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,780. The median is $56,780. The 75th percentile is $85,200. 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 44. They do not show related skills or a path into Psychiatric Technicians.
1. Area 44, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 13,310 jobs, $31,490 annual median, 26.55 jobs per 1,000, and 1.07 location quotient.
2. Area 44, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 12,830 jobs, $34,860 annual median, 25.6 jobs per 1,000, and 1.02 location quotient.
3. Area 44, SOC 31-1131, Nursing Assistants: 10,220 jobs, $46,440 annual median, 20.38 jobs per 1,000, and 2.19 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Rhode Island wage ladder for Psychiatric Technicians
The 10th percentile is $43,450 per year. The 25th percentile is $45,130 per year. The median is $48,520 per year. The 75th percentile is $51,650 per year. The 90th percentile is $62,490 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 $45,130 per year to $51,650 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $19,040. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Rhode Island has a annual median of $48,520 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 Rhode Island. Rhode Island is 7.5% 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 Rhode Island sits for Psychiatric Technicians
Rhode Island ranks 12 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 12 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.
9. Massachusetts has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $52,000 per year, 5,340 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.45.
10. Alaska has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $51,650 per year, 340 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.03.
11. California has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $49,140 per year, 14,100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.77.
13. Virginia has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $48,320 per year, 3,950 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.95.
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. Rhode Island sits at $48,520 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 $18,910 above Rhode Island. BLS lists 380 jobs there, compared with 990 in Rhode Island. The location quotient is 0.53.
2. Oregon has a Psychiatric Technicians median of $59,820 per year, or $11,300 above Rhode Island. BLS lists 1,250 jobs there, compared with 990 in Rhode Island. 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. Rhode Island has 990. 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 13,110 jobs from Rhode Island. Its median is $49,140 per year, or $620 above Rhode Island. Its location quotient is 0.77.
2. Florida has 12,710 estimated Psychiatric Technicians jobs, a gap of 11,720 jobs from Rhode Island. Its median is $43,570 per year, or $4,950 below Rhode Island. 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. Rhode Island has 1.95. 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 1.30 from Rhode Island. BLS lists 2,060 Psychiatric Technicians jobs and a median of $55,150 per year, or $6,630 above Rhode Island.
2. Arizona has a location quotient of 2.49, a gap of 0.54 from Rhode Island. BLS lists 8,160 Psychiatric Technicians jobs and a median of $45,640 per year, or $2,880 below Rhode Island.
3. Indiana has a location quotient of 2.1, a gap of 0.15 from Rhode Island. BLS lists 6,790 Psychiatric Technicians jobs and a median of $40,910 per year, or $7,610 below Rhode Island.
Job scale and share
How common Psychiatric Technicians is in Rhode Island
BLS lists 990 Psychiatric Technicians jobs in Rhode Island. It also lists 1.97 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 1.95. A value of 1 means Psychiatric Technicians 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.
Psychiatric Technicians beside other roles in Rhode Island
The all-occupations median in Rhode Island is $56,780 per year. The Psychiatric Technicians median is $48,520 per year. Psychiatric Technicians is 14.5% 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 Rhode Island. 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. Office Clerks, General, SOC 43-9061, has a Rhode Island median of $47,830 per year. BLS lists 7,700 jobs and a location quotient of 0.97.
2. Customer Service Representatives, SOC 43-4051, has a Rhode Island median of $47,550 per year. BLS lists 7,890 jobs and a location quotient of 0.94.
3. Nursing Assistants, SOC 31-1131, has a Rhode Island median of $46,440 per year. BLS lists 10,220 jobs and a location quotient of 2.19.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Rhode Island
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Rhode Island table, at 13,310 jobs. Psychiatric Technicians has 990 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 501,340. 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. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 13,310 jobs in Rhode Island, a gap of 12,320 from Psychiatric Technicians. Its median is $31,490 per year, or $17,030 below Psychiatric Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.07.
2. Retail Salespersons has 12,830 jobs in Rhode Island, a gap of 11,840 from Psychiatric Technicians. Its median is $34,860 per year, or $13,660 below Psychiatric Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.02.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Rhode Island
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Rhode Island role table, at $130,590 per year. Psychiatric Technicians has $48,520 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $56,780 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 $130,590 per year in Rhode Island, or $82,070 above Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 5,070 jobs, compared with 990 for Psychiatric Technicians. Its location quotient is 0.93.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $117,380 per year in Rhode Island, or $68,860 above Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 9,150 jobs, compared with 990 for Psychiatric Technicians. Its location quotient is 0.81.
3. Project Management Specialists has a median of $104,680 per year in Rhode Island, or $56,160 above Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 3,880 jobs, compared with 990 for Psychiatric Technicians. Its location quotient is 1.13.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Rhode Island
Nursing Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded Rhode Island role table, at 2.19. Psychiatric Technicians has 1.95. 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. Nursing Assistants has a location quotient of 2.19 in Rhode Island, a gap of 0.24 from Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 10,220 jobs and a median of $46,440 per year, or $2,080 below Psychiatric Technicians.
2. Cooks, Restaurant has a location quotient of 1.53 in Rhode Island, a gap of 0.42 from Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 6,950 jobs and a median of $36,510 per year, or $12,010 below Psychiatric Technicians.
3. Receptionists and Information Clerks has a location quotient of 1.45 in Rhode Island, a gap of 0.50 from Psychiatric Technicians. BLS lists 4,270 jobs and a median of $42,620 per year, or $5,900 below Psychiatric Technicians.
Price-level view
What $48,520 may mean after the Rhode Island price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Rhode Island is 102.3. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 2.3% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $48,520 Psychiatric Technicians median by 102.3 divided by 100. The result is $47,438 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 105.6. Goods are 97.2. Utilities are 146.7. Other services are 102.8. 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 Technicians row is 12%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.2%. 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 990 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $50,310 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 Rhode Island 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 $48,520 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 Rhode Island 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 990 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.95 is not a growth score. Rank 12 of 49 is not a place score. The 102.3 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 44. 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 990 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.
