BLS May 2025; hourly and annual figures come from the same survey.

BLS does not publish starting pay. The closest figure it does publish is the low end of the range: in Minnesota, the lowest-paid 10% of computer user support specialists earn under $47,840 a year and a quarter earn under $54,450 ($23.00 and $26.18 an hour).

New hires often start somewhere in that band, but the May 2025 survey does not record experience, so read it as a floor to compare an offer against rather than a typical first salary.

Yes. The median in Minnesota is 2.9% above the national median of $61,860.

Nominal pay is only half the comparison: prices in Minnesota sit at 98.6 against a national 100, so the gap in what the money buys is different from the gap in the salary.

It is 0.71 times the median household income of $89,062. A household often has more than one earner, so a single salary at this level goes further than the ratio alone suggests.

Prices in Minnesota run at 98.6 against a national average of 100, with rents at 91.3, so $63,630 here buys about what $64,520 buys at national average prices.

The top tenth earn $95,220 a year or more. The 10th-percentile wage is $47,840.

Experience, specialty, employer and the part of Minnesota someone works in all move a wage inside that range; the survey reports the spread, not the reason for it.

The survey counted 15,320 of these jobs in Minnesota for May 2025.

That makes the occupation 13% more concentrated here than in the country as a whole. It counts wage and salary jobs, so the self-employed are outside it.
