The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median in Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV at $43,740 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 25180.

BLS lists 1,800 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 $44,600 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV's Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median is 8.0% below the U.S. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median of $47,540 on the same published median.

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 $36,670 per year to $48,900 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $28,560. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV has a annual median of $43,740 per year. Maryland has $48,680 per year. The U.S. row has $47,540 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

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 Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV sits for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive

Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV ranks 247 of 392 among metro areas 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 247 of 392 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.

Where Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive medians lead among metro areas

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.

Where BLS counts the most Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive jobs

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.

Roles with the largest local share in Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV

Hairdressers, Hairstylists, and Cosmetologists has the highest location quotient in the bounded Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV role table, at 4.32. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has 1.53. 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.

What $43,740 may mean after the Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV is 94.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $43,740 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median by 94.2 divided by 100. The result is $46,447 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 75.7. Goods are 96.4. Utilities are 95.7. Other services are 99.5. 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 Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV row

The employment RSE for this Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive row is 2.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 1%. 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 1,800 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $44,600 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.

Use Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV 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 Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV 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 $43,740 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 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive row for Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV 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 1,800 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.53 is not a growth score. Rank 247 of 392 is not a place score. The 94.2 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 25180. 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.
