High paying personal care jobs in Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI

Every personal care occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single personal care job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI run 4.8% above the national average (2024), so a Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI salary is worth about 0.95× its face value in national terms.

Local wage estimates are suppressed more often than state ones — BLS withholds any figure too few local employers report — so an occupation missing here simply has no published local estimate.
