What BLS measures

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys what people employed in the occupation earn, at every level of experience. A posting advertises what a new hire is offered, so the two measure different things.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics measured a median of $65.33/hr ($135,880 a year) for physician assistants in May 2025.

How much does an anesthesiologist assistant make a year?

At the posted median of $175 an hour, full time (2,080 hours a year) comes to about $364,000, and the middle half to $364,000 to $364,000. That is arithmetic on the hourly rate, not a salary any job states.

Where do these figures come from?

From the pay CareJobs.Now's open jobs state, read every night from each employer's own job board: 17 of 79 open anesthesiologist assistant jobs (22%) state an hourly rate. No pay is estimated for a job that states none, "up to" ceilings and weekly travel rates are left out, and a job posted many times at one rate counts once in the median, so no single employer's posting volume sets it.

Sources and method

Only pay a job states is used: a plain hourly or yearly figure or range in US dollars, read from the job's own posting. A range counts at its midpoint. In the median and the middle half each employer's advertised range counts once, so an employer posting one range in many towns does not set the figure; an employer's own figures count its jobs one by one. "Up to" ceilings, weekly travel rates and rates under a third or over three times the occupation's median are left out. The yearly estimate is the hourly rate times 2,080 hours (40 a week). A job counts under its occupation and every occupation above it, and under every state it is open in. A page exists while at least 8 jobs from 3 employers state a rate. BLS figures are as published.
