What Gilbert residents earn

$42,935

Median earnings of Gilbert residents working in office and administrative support occupations, 15,766 people. Census ACS 5-year 2023, tables S2401 and B24011. Where people live, not where they work, so it is not the same measurement as the wages beside it.

The 10% figure is not a pay gap. ACS counts the civilian employed population 16 and over, part-time and part-year work included; OEWS counts wage-and-salary jobs only. The two populations differ, so read this number against other cities rather than as a shortfall: the same definitional difference applies to every city equally, which is what makes a city-to-city reading sound.

The role pays well above the local residential norm, which usually means you can hire from inside Gilbert rather than competing for commuters.

Is the talent actually in Gilbert?

This is a job zone two: some preparation needed occupation. These occupations usually require a high school diploma.

It does not require a degree, which widens the pool considerably. For context, 47.5% of Gilbert adults hold one. Census ACS 5-year 2023, table S1501.

The average Gilbert commute runs 26.1 minutes, which is roughly how far your catchment reaches before candidates start saying no. 23.6% already work from home, so a fully onsite requirement here is competing against that.

How often do these jobs turn over?

In Maricopa County, administrative and support services employs 201,602 and turns over 15.8% a quarter, with 66,194 hires against 65,021 separations. Average earnings in that industry run $4,486 a month. Census LEHD Quarterly Workforce Indicators, 2024 Q1, NAICS 56.

That figure covers every occupation in the industry, not this role alone, so read it as the local churn rate rather than as a number about procurement clerks. It still tells you what you are hiring into: a high-churn market, where speed matters more than a perfect fit.

What does the search cost?

The fee is set by the seniority of the role, never by salary and never by location. Across all six tiers it runs $6,240 to $54,340 per search. A contingency firm hiring at this role's median would bill roughly $9,594 to $14,391 on the first year salary alone.

One owner runs the search from market map to signed offer. Searches typically fill in 23 to 35 days, which is a typical window rather than a promise, and the replacement guarantee runs 45 days at 50% off.
