Some metro estimates cross state lines. Higher nominal pay does not establish better living standards or better chances of finding a job.

This occupation is less concentrated in the state

Employment concentration provides a different comparison for management analysts in Michigan. In OEWS May 2025, the published location quotient is 0.51, meaning the occupation's share of employment is 0.51 times its national share. The state estimate is 13,010 jobs, 1.4% of the national employment estimate for this occupation. It represents 2.95 jobs per thousand jobs in the state's OEWS employment universe. This measures existing employment concentration, not current hiring or future growth.

OEWS May 2025 · BLS OEWS

OEWS employment estimates describe covered wage-and-salary jobs and exclude self-employed workers; location quotients do not measure vacancies or worker demand.
