Office supervisor: the queue, the schedule, and SOC 43-1011
First-line supervisors of office and administrative support workers are SOC 43-1011. The locked chips are entry $45,610, median $69,500, and a national 90th percentile of $104,710. BLS counted 1,436,680 wage-and-salary workers in this occupation in May 2025. The dispatch-manager page on this site is a PayCrunch estimate that names this SOC as the closest occupation BLS tracks. It is not this wage.
Where the national band sits
The middle half earns $55,950 to $85,090. The step from the median $69,500 to the national 90th percentile $104,710 is $35,210 a year. That step is still this occupation, not a director title. This page does not invent a state median.
What the desk actually audits
A useful backlog names the item, the age, and the owner. A schedule that hides an absence is not a schedule. Correcting a clerk's error means showing the procedure, not rewriting the number.
Outlook
O*NET reports projected growth for 2024–2034 as little or no change. O*NET still projects about 144,500 openings a year over 2024–2034 because people leave. Little or no change is not a hiring freeze, and it is not a raise.
Locked wage chips on this page: entry $45,610, median $69,500, national 90th percentile $104,710. SOC 43-1011. If a sentence disagrees with those three figures, the figures win.
How to do the work that sits inside this pay band
These steps stay inside the published national range. They are not a promise that you will be paid the 90th percentile.
