What the Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median says in California
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median in California at $55,400 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 43-6014 and BLS area 06.
BLS lists 158,630 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 $57,710 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
California's Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median is 16.5% above the U.S. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median of $47,540 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 43-6014 with area 06
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 43-6014 and area 06. SOC 43-6014 names Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. Area 06 names California. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-6014/06 row has 158,630 wage and salary jobs. There are 8.71 for each 1,000 local jobs. The location quotient is 0.79. Each value stays under the same job and area codes.
For 43-6014/06, the annual median is $55,400 per year, while the matching mean is $57,710 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
43-6014/06 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 06 facts behind this Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive page
Area 06 reports 18,213,700 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $80,690. Its annual median is $58,240. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-6014 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in California runs from $35,950 at the 10th percentile to $159,080 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $41,600. The median is $58,240. The 75th percentile is $97,880. This is a place check, not a pay range for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive.
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 06. They do not show related skills or a path into Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Area: 06. SOC: 31-1120. Jobs: 970,150. Yearly median: $34,320. Jobs per 1,000: 53.27. Location quotient: 1.92.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers. Area: 06. SOC: 35-3023. Jobs: 449,840. Yearly median: $42,280. Jobs per 1,000: 24.7. Location quotient: 1.

Pay range
Read the California wage ladder for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive
The 10th percentile is $38,060 per year. The 25th percentile is $46,390 per year. The median is $55,400 per year. The 75th percentile is $65,400 per year. The 90th percentile is $78,170 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 $46,390 per year to $65,400 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $40,110. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare California with its state and the U.S.
California has a annual median of $55,400 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $47,540 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for California. California is 16.5% 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 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where California sits for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive
California ranks 5 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 5 of 54 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.
2. Massachusetts. The Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median is $57,940 per year. BLS estimates 37,750 jobs. The location quotient is 0.95.
3. Washington. The Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median is $57,330 per year. BLS estimates 31,710 jobs. The location quotient is 0.81.
4. Connecticut. The Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median is $57,210 per year. BLS estimates 22,650 jobs. The location quotient is 1.22.
Pay leaders
Where Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 43-6014, 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 $59,910 per year. California sits at $55,400 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive 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. District of Columbia has a Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median of $59,910 per year, or $4,510 above California. BLS lists 11,800 jobs there, compared with 158,630 in California. The location quotient is 1.53.
2. Massachusetts has a Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median of $57,940 per year, or $2,540 above California. BLS lists 37,750 jobs there, compared with 158,630 in California. The location quotient is 0.95.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive in this same-source set, at 158,630 jobs. California has 158,630. 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 158,630 estimated Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from California. Its median is $55,400 per year, or $0 above California. Its location quotient is 0.79.
2. Texas has 149,650 estimated Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive jobs, a gap of 8,980 jobs from California. Its median is $45,140 per year, or $10,260 below California. Its location quotient is 0.97.
Local-share leaders
Where Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive takes the largest share of local jobs
New Mexico has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.66. California has 0.79. 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 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive 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. New Mexico has a location quotient of 2.66, a gap of 1.87 from California. BLS lists 25,430 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive jobs and a median of $46,450 per year, or $8,950 below California.
2. Guam (territory) has a location quotient of 2.21, a gap of 1.42 from California. BLS lists 1,610 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive jobs and a median of $36,030 per year, or $19,370 below California.
Job scale and share
How common Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive is in California
BLS lists 158,630 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive jobs in California. It also lists 8.71 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 0.79. A value of 1 means Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive 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.
Local job mix
Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive beside other roles in California
The all-occupations median in California is $58,240 per year. The Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median is $55,400 per year. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive is 4.9% 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 California. 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 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. 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. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a California median of $57,000 per year. BLS lists 143,060 jobs and a location quotient of 0.8.
2. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a California median of $59,230 per year. BLS lists 151,870 jobs and a location quotient of 0.94.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in California
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded California table, at 970,150 jobs. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has 158,630 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 18,213,700. 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 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 970,150 jobs in California, a gap of 811,520 from Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. Its median is $34,320 per year, or $21,080 below Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. Its location quotient is 1.92.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 449,840 jobs in California, a gap of 291,210 from Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. Its median is $42,280 per year, or $13,120 below Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. Its location quotient is 1.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around California
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded California role table, at $174,410 per year. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has $55,400 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $58,240 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 $174,410 per year in California, or $119,010 above Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. BLS lists 284,390 jobs, compared with 158,630 for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. Its location quotient is 1.44.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $140,270 per year in California, or $84,870 above Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. BLS lists 338,940 jobs, compared with 158,630 for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. Its location quotient is 0.86.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in California
Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has the highest location quotient in the bounded California role table, at 5.54. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has 0.79. 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 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has a location quotient of 5.54 in California, a gap of 4.75 from Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. BLS lists 172,260 jobs and a median of $35,580 per year, or $19,820 below Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.92 in California, a gap of 1.13 from Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. BLS lists 970,150 jobs and a median of $34,320 per year, or $21,080 below Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive.
Price-level view
What $55,400 may mean after the California price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for California is 110.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.7% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $55,400 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median by 110.7 divided by 100. The result is $50,036 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 154.3. Goods are 106.1. Utilities are 158.9. Other services are 102.6. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the California row
The employment RSE for this Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive row is 2.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 158,630 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $57,710 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.
Job and résumé path
Use California wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive. It uses a California 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 $55,400 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.
Limits
What the Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive row for California 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 158,630 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.79 is not a growth score. Rank 5 of 54 is not a place score. The 110.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-6014 in BLS area 06. 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.
How many Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive jobs does BLS estimate in California?
BLS estimates 158,630 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
