What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Minnesota's middle earner gets $51,160, putting the state 15 of 51 — about 5.29% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 342 among 490 occupations Minnesota publishes pay for.
- Prices here sit close to the national average, so the adjustment changes little. From $51,160 the take-home is $41,332, which is worth about $41,996 in comparable money. Tax does most of the work here, not cost of living. The average is higher, $54,710, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For first-line supervisors of personal service workers, Minnesota sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $51,160, ranking 15 of 51 and running about 5.29% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Position 342 of 490 in Minnesota places first-line supervisors of personal service workers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Minnesota's price level is near the national average, so price deflation is close to neutral for first-line supervisors of personal service workers on its $51,160 median: $41,332 retained after tax becomes $41,996 in national-average terms. Where the price adjustment is small, the tax stack is the dominant determinant of the real outcome. The mean of $54,710 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of first-line supervisors of personal service workers in Minnesota earn under $51,160 and half over. The published range runs $32,150 at the tenth percentile to $78,840 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Minnesota's $41,332, worked from $51,160. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 342 of 490.
- One number stands for prices across all of Minnesota, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $41,996, the adjusted value of that $51,160 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 342 of 490 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for first-line supervisors of personal service workers in Minnesota, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $32,150 to $78,840; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- The Minnesota take-home of $41,332, on $51,160 for work ranking 342 of 490 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 342 of 490 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Minnesota, so $41,996 — the adjusted value of that $51,160 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 342 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $54,710, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $32,150 at the bottom tenth to $78,840 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $41,996.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Minnesota's own levy, $41,332 remains.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Minnesota is $54,710. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($32,150) and the ninetieth ($78,840) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Minnesota's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $41,996 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $41,332 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
