What the Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median says in Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median in Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area at $47,220 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 2300001.

BLS lists 560 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 $48,460 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area's Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive median is 0.7% 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 $42,070 per year to $54,620 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $23,370. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Compare Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.

Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $47,220 per year. Maine has $49,820 per year. The U.S. row has $47,540 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area is 5.2% below Maine on the same published median. Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area is 0.7% 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 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 Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area sits for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive

Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area ranks 24 of 137 among nonmetro 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 24 of 137 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 nonmetro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 43-6014, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Massachusetts nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $56,340 per year. Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area sits at $47,220 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.

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

Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive in this same-source set, at 9,830 jobs. Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area has 560. 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.

Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 3.51. Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area has 0.81. 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.

BLS lists 560 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive jobs in Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 8.91 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 0.81. 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.

Roles with the largest local share in Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area

Carpenters has the highest location quotient in the bounded Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area role table, at 2.83. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has 0.81. 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 $47,220 may mean after the Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area price level

WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $47,220 BLS median stays a nominal wage.

No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.

You can still compare Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.

How much care to use with the Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area row

The employment RSE for this Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive row is 4.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.8%. 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 560 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $48,460 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 Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area 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 Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area 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 $47,220 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 Northeast Maine nonmetropolitan area 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 560 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.81 is not a growth score. Rank 24 of 137 is not a place score. A missing 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 2300001. 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.
