How much do registered nurses make in Minnesota?

What the Registered Nurses median says in Minnesota

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Registered Nurses median in Minnesota at $101,510 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 29-1141 and BLS area 27.

BLS lists 70,110 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 $103,420 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Minnesota's Registered Nurses median is 4.1% above the U.S. Registered Nurses median of $97,550 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

Read source key 29-1141 with area 27

This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 29-1141 and area 27. SOC 29-1141 names Registered Nurses. Area 27 names Minnesota. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.

The 29-1141/27 row has 70,110 wage and salary jobs. There are 23.77 for each 1,000 local jobs. The location quotient is 1.09. Each value stays under the same job and area codes.

For 29-1141/27, the annual median is $101,510 per year, while the matching mean is $103,420 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

• 29-1141/27 10th percentile: $79,960 per year.

• 29-1141/27 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.

BLS area 27 facts behind this Registered Nurses 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 29-1141 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 Registered Nurses.

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 Registered Nurses.

• 1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Area: 27. SOC: 31-1120. Jobs: 128,680. Yearly median: $38,370. Jobs per 1,000: 43.62. Location quotient: 1.58.

Read the Minnesota wage ladder for Registered Nurses

The 10th percentile is $79,960 per year. The 25th percentile is $88,940 per year. The median is $101,510 per year. The 75th percentile is $114,760 per year. The 90th percentile is $132,430 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 $88,940 per year to $114,760 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $52,470. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Compare Minnesota with its state and the U.S.

Minnesota has a annual median of $101,510 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $97,550 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

A state comparison is not available for Minnesota. Minnesota is 4.1% 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 benchmarks, 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 Registered Nurses

Minnesota ranks 12 of 53 among states and territories with a published annual median for Registered Nurses. 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 53 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. Nevada. The Registered Nurses median is $103,670 per year. BLS estimates 27,070 jobs. The location quotient is 0.8.
• 10. Connecticut. The Registered Nurses median is $102,740 per year. BLS estimates 40,110 jobs. The location quotient is 1.09.
• 11. District of Columbia. The Registered Nurses median is $102,540 per year. BLS estimates 11,440 jobs. The location quotient is 0.75.
• 13. Rhode Island. The Registered Nurses median is $100,640 per year. BLS estimates 10,090 jobs. The location quotient is 0.93.
• 14. Colorado. The Registered Nurses median is $100,260 per year. BLS estimates 54,490 jobs. The location quotient is 0.87.
• 15. Maryland. The Registered Nurses median is $99,790 per year. BLS estimates 52,910 jobs. The location quotient is 0.88.

Where Registered Nurses medians lead among states and territories

The rows below use the same SOC 29-1141, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. California has the highest published median in this set, at $140,270 per year. Minnesota sits at $101,510 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Registered Nurses 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.

• 1. California has a Registered Nurses median of $140,270 per year, or $38,760 above Minnesota. BLS lists 338,940 jobs there, compared with 70,110 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.86.
• 2. Hawaii has a Registered Nurses median of $136,320 per year, or $34,810 above Minnesota. BLS lists 12,940 jobs there, compared with 70,110 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.95.
• 3. Oregon has a Registered Nurses median of $129,010 per year, or $27,500 above Minnesota. BLS lists 39,730 jobs there, compared with 70,110 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.93.
• 4. Washington has a Registered Nurses median of $124,200 per year, or $22,690 above Minnesota. BLS lists 69,260 jobs there, compared with 70,110 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 0.9.

• 8. Massachusetts has a Registered Nurses median of $104,550 per year, or $3,040 above Minnesota. BLS lists 88,200 jobs there, compared with 70,110 in Minnesota. The location quotient is 1.12.

Where BLS counts the most Registered Nurses jobs

California has the largest published state job estimate for Registered Nurses in this same-source set, at 338,940 jobs. Minnesota has 70,110. 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 338,940 estimated Registered Nurses jobs, a gap of 268,830 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $140,270 per year, or $38,760 above Minnesota. Its location quotient is 0.86.
• 2. Texas has 271,380 estimated Registered Nurses jobs, a gap of 201,270 jobs from Minnesota. Its median is $95,970 per year, or $5,540 below Minnesota. Its location quotient is 0.89.

Where Registered Nurses takes the largest share of local jobs

West Virginia has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.54. Minnesota has 1.09. 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 Registered Nurses 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. West Virginia has a location quotient of 1.54, a gap of 0.45 from Minnesota. BLS lists 23,430 Registered Nurses jobs and a median of $80,130 per year, or $21,380 below Minnesota.
• 2. South Dakota has a location quotient of 1.48, a gap of 0.39 from Minnesota. BLS lists 14,710 Registered Nurses jobs and a median of $78,060 per year, or $23,450 below Minnesota.
• 3. Delaware has a location quotient of 1.36, a gap of 0.27 from Minnesota. BLS lists 14,290 Registered Nurses jobs and a median of $99,520 per year, or $1,990 below Minnesota.
• 4. North Dakota has a location quotient of 1.21, a gap of 0.12 from Minnesota. BLS lists 11,340 Registered Nurses jobs and a median of $80,730 per year, or $20,780 below Minnesota.

• 7. Ohio has a location quotient of 1.19, a gap of 0.10 from Minnesota. BLS lists 143,730 Registered Nurses jobs and a median of $82,510 per year, or $19,000 below Minnesota.
• 8. Alabama has a location quotient of 1.18, a gap of 0.09 from Minnesota. BLS lists 54,340 Registered Nurses jobs and a median of $77,080 per year, or $24,430 below Minnesota.

How common Registered Nurses is in Minnesota

BLS lists 70,110 Registered Nurses jobs in Minnesota. It also lists 23.77 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 1.09. A value of 1 means Registered Nurses 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.

Registered Nurses beside other roles in Minnesota

The all-occupations median in Minnesota is $56,920 per year. The Registered Nurses median is $101,510 per year. Registered Nurses is 78.3% 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 Registered Nurses. 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. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a Minnesota median of $81,600 per year. BLS lists 30,530 jobs and a location quotient of 1.11.

• 7. Software Developers, SOC 15-1252, has a Minnesota median of $130,050 per year. BLS lists 35,890 jobs and a location quotient of 1.12.
• 8. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Minnesota median of $61,990 per year. BLS lists 38,770 jobs and a location quotient of 0.99.

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. Registered Nurses has 70,110 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 Registered Nurses'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 58,570 from Registered Nurses. Its median is $38,370 per year, or $63,140 below Registered Nurses. Its location quotient is 1.58.
• 2. Retail Salespersons has 74,840 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of 4,730 from Registered Nurses. Its median is $36,370 per year, or $65,140 below Registered Nurses. Its location quotient is 1.01.

• 8. Customer Service Representatives has 53,340 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of 16,770 from Registered Nurses. Its median is $48,800 per year, or $52,710 below Registered Nurses. Its location quotient is 1.08.

Published role medians around Minnesota

Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Minnesota role table, at $130,050 per year. Registered Nurses has $101,510 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 $28,540 above Registered Nurses. BLS lists 35,890 jobs, compared with 70,110 for Registered Nurses. Its location quotient is 1.12.

Roles with the largest local share in Minnesota

Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Minnesota role table, at 1.7. Registered Nurses has 1.09. 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 Registered Nurses 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 0.61 from Registered Nurses. BLS lists 24,420 jobs and a median of $26,900 per year, or $74,610 below Registered Nurses.
• 2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.68 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.59 from Registered Nurses. BLS lists 44,810 jobs and a median of $46,920 per year, or $54,590 below Registered Nurses.
• 3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.58 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.49 from Registered Nurses. BLS lists 128,680 jobs and a median of $38,370 per year, or $63,140 below Registered Nurses.
• 4. Food Preparation Workers has a location quotient of 1.45 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.36 from Registered Nurses. BLS lists 24,620 jobs and a median of $34,850 per year, or $66,660 below Registered Nurses.
• 5. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary has a location quotient of 1.43 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.34 from Registered Nurses. BLS lists 38,540 jobs and a median of $40,100 per year, or $61,410 below Registered Nurses.
• 6. Construction Laborers has a location quotient of 1.37 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.28 from Registered Nurses. BLS lists 28,530 jobs and a median of $60,260 per year, or $41,250 below Registered Nurses.
• 7. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products has a location quotient of 1.33 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.24 from Registered Nurses. BLS lists 31,230 jobs and a median of $76,750 per year, or $24,760 below Registered Nurses.
• 8. Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists has a location quotient of 1.25 in Minnesota, a gap of 0.16 from Registered Nurses. BLS lists 21,280 jobs and a median of $87,510 per year, or $14,000 below Registered Nurses.

What $101,510 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 $101,510 Registered Nurses median by 98.6 divided by 100. The result is $102,929 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.

How much care to use with the Minnesota row

The employment RSE for this Registered Nurses row is 1.4%. 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 70,110 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $103,420 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.

Use Minnesota wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Registered Nurses. 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 $101,510 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 Registered Nurses 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 70,110 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.09 is not a growth score. Rank 12 of 53 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 29-1141 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.
