0.9%
Memphis, TN-MS-AR was 11.8% below the U.S. median for Social and Human Service Assistants. It ranked 234 of 391 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Social and Human Service Assistants median says in Memphis, TN-MS-AR
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Social and Human Service Assistants median in Memphis, TN-MS-AR at $40,530 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 21-1093 and BLS area 32820.
BLS lists 980 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 $40,040 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Memphis, TN-MS-AR's Social and Human Service Assistants median is 11.8% below the U.S. Social and Human Service Assistants median of $45,930 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 21-1093 with area 32820
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 21-1093 and area 32820. SOC 21-1093 names Social and Human Service Assistants. Area 32820 names Memphis, TN-MS-AR. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 21-1093/32820 row reports 980 wage and salary jobs, 1.61 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.57 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 21-1093/32820, the annual median is $40,530 per year, while the matching mean is $40,040 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
21-1093/32820 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.

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 32820. They do not show related skills or a path into Social and Human Service Assistants.

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 $34,640 per year to $47,020 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $35,190. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Memphis, TN-MS-AR with its state and the U.S.
Memphis, TN-MS-AR has a annual median of $40,530 per year. Tennessee has $40,310 per year. The U.S. row has $45,930 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Memphis, TN-MS-AR is 0.5% above Tennessee on the same published median. Memphis, TN-MS-AR is 11.8% 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 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Memphis, TN-MS-AR sits for Social and Human Service Assistants
Memphis, TN-MS-AR ranks 234 of 391 among metro areas with a published annual median for Social and Human Service Assistants. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 234 of 391 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.
231. Prescott Valley-Prescott, AZ has a Social and Human Service Assistants median of $40,720 per year, 210 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.04.
232. Salt Lake City-Murray, UT has a Social and Human Service Assistants median of $40,650 per year, 2,460 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.06.

Pay leaders
Where Social and Human Service Assistants medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 21-1093, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Eau Claire, WI has the highest published median in this set, at $63,870 per year. Memphis, TN-MS-AR sits at $40,530 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Social and Human Service Assistants 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. Eau Claire, WI has a Social and Human Service Assistants median of $63,870 per year, or $23,340 above Memphis, TN-MS-AR. BLS lists 390 jobs there, compared with 980 in Memphis, TN-MS-AR. The location quotient is 1.61.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Social and Human Service Assistants median of $60,650 per year, or $20,120 above Memphis, TN-MS-AR. BLS lists 1,930 jobs there, compared with 980 in Memphis, TN-MS-AR. The location quotient is 0.61.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Social and Human Service Assistants jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Social and Human Service Assistants in this same-source set, at 35,540 jobs. Memphis, TN-MS-AR has 980. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 35,540 estimated Social and Human Service Assistants jobs, a gap of 34,560 jobs from Memphis, TN-MS-AR. Its median is $47,860 per year, or $7,330 above Memphis, TN-MS-AR. Its location quotient is 1.33.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 18,790 estimated Social and Human Service Assistants jobs, a gap of 17,810 jobs from Memphis, TN-MS-AR. Its median is $50,330 per year, or $9,800 above Memphis, TN-MS-AR. Its location quotient is 1.06.
Local-share leaders
Where Social and Human Service Assistants takes the largest share of local jobs
Johnstown, PA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.41. Memphis, TN-MS-AR has 0.57. 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 Social and Human Service Assistants 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. Johnstown, PA has a location quotient of 4.41, a gap of 3.84 from Memphis, TN-MS-AR. BLS lists 590 Social and Human Service Assistants jobs and a median of $41,450 per year, or $920 above Memphis, TN-MS-AR.
2. Corvallis, OR has a location quotient of 4.24, a gap of 3.67 from Memphis, TN-MS-AR. BLS lists 460 Social and Human Service Assistants jobs and a median of $45,590 per year, or $5,060 above Memphis, TN-MS-AR.
3. Waterbury-Shelton, CT has a location quotient of 3.77, a gap of 3.20 from Memphis, TN-MS-AR. BLS lists 1,710 Social and Human Service Assistants jobs and a median of $43,750 per year, or $3,220 above Memphis, TN-MS-AR.
Job scale and share
How common Social and Human Service Assistants is in Memphis, TN-MS-AR
BLS lists 980 Social and Human Service Assistants jobs in Memphis, TN-MS-AR. It also lists 1.61 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 0.57. A value of 1 means Social and Human Service Assistants 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
Social and Human Service Assistants beside other roles in Memphis, TN-MS-AR
The all-occupations median in Memphis, TN-MS-AR is $46,890 per year. The Social and Human Service Assistants median is $40,530 per year. Social and Human Service Assistants is 13.6% 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 Memphis, TN-MS-AR. 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 Social and Human Service Assistants. 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. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, SOC 43-6013, has a Memphis, TN-MS-AR median of $39,940 per year. BLS lists 7,180 jobs and a location quotient of 1.9.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Memphis, TN-MS-AR
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Memphis, TN-MS-AR table, at 37,750 jobs. Social and Human Service Assistants has 980 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 611,670. 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 Social and Human Service Assistants's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 37,750 jobs in Memphis, TN-MS-AR, a gap of 36,770 from Social and Human Service Assistants. Its median is $39,510 per year, or $1,020 below Social and Human Service Assistants. Its location quotient is 3.25.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has 19,460 jobs in Memphis, TN-MS-AR, a gap of 18,480 from Social and Human Service Assistants. Its median is $63,070 per year, or $22,540 above Social and Human Service Assistants. Its location quotient is 2.4.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Memphis, TN-MS-AR
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Memphis, TN-MS-AR role table, at $102,510 per year. Social and Human Service Assistants has $40,530 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,890 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $102,510 per year in Memphis, TN-MS-AR, or $61,980 above Social and Human Service Assistants. BLS lists 9,730 jobs, compared with 980 for Social and Human Service Assistants. Its location quotient is 0.71.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,500 per year in Memphis, TN-MS-AR, or $40,970 above Social and Human Service Assistants. BLS lists 13,760 jobs, compared with 980 for Social and Human Service Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.04.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has a median of $71,310 per year in Memphis, TN-MS-AR, or $30,780 above Social and Human Service Assistants. BLS lists 8,710 jobs, compared with 980 for Social and Human Service Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.54.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Memphis, TN-MS-AR
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has the highest location quotient in the bounded Memphis, TN-MS-AR role table, at 3.25. Social and Human Service Assistants has 0.57. 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 Social and Human Service Assistants with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has a location quotient of 3.25 in Memphis, TN-MS-AR, a gap of 2.68 from Social and Human Service Assistants. BLS lists 37,750 jobs and a median of $39,510 per year, or $1,020 below Social and Human Service Assistants.
2. Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators has a location quotient of 2.61 in Memphis, TN-MS-AR, a gap of 2.04 from Social and Human Service Assistants. BLS lists 7,950 jobs and a median of $44,540 per year, or $4,010 above Social and Human Service Assistants.
Price-level view
What $40,530 may mean after the Memphis, TN-MS-AR price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Memphis, TN-MS-AR is 92.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $40,530 Social and Human Service Assistants median by 92.2 divided by 100. The result is $43,969 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 79.8. Goods are 96.2. Utilities are 74.1. Other services are 95.4. 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 Memphis, TN-MS-AR row
The employment RSE for this Social and Human Service Assistants row is 6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.1%. 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 980 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $40,040 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 Memphis, TN-MS-AR wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Social and Human Service Assistants. It uses a Memphis, TN-MS-AR 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 $40,530 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 Social and Human Service Assistants row for Memphis, TN-MS-AR 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 980 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.57 is not a growth score. Rank 234 of 391 is not a place score. The 92.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 21-1093 in BLS area 32820. 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 980 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.
