Do McKinney residents in office and administrative support work earn more than employers in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX area pay?

McKinney residents working in office and administrative support occupations earn a median of $43,151 (Census ACS 5-year 2023, tables S2401 and B24011), against $48,030 as the median of the 51 wages BLS publishes for that same occupation group in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX area (BLS OEWS, May 2025), a difference of 10%, with the employers figure the higher of the two.

Both sides of that figure describe the whole office and administrative support group, not this one role. In the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX area the group covers 51 occupations BLS publishes a wage for, from library assistants, clerical at $34,590 to executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants at $80,230 (BLS OEWS, May 2025), with first-line supervisors of office and administrative support workers at $73,070 inside it.

That comparison is between two different measures, not a pay gap. The two weight the same occupation group differently: the Census figure is the midpoint across the people who actually hold those jobs, so a group carrying a few very well paid occupations is pulled toward them, while the BLS figure is the midpoint across the 51 published occupation wages, which counts each of those occupations once whatever its headcount. Census also counts where people live and BLS counts where the jobs are, and the two cover different populations, Census the civilian employed population 16 and over, BLS wage-and-salary jobs only. Read the number against other cities, where the same definitional difference applies on both sides, rather than as a shortfall.

Published wages across this group in the metro run above what McKinney residents in it earn, which usually means employers here draw this talent from beyond the city line rather than from inside it.
