How much do office coordinators make in 2026?
Office coordinators are counted in the BLS secretaries and administrative assistants, except legal, medical and executive series: OEWS May 2025 gives SOC 43-6014 a national median of $47,540 a year ($22.86 an hour), with the bottom 10% near $33,280 and the top 10% at $66,350. The series pools coordinators with general administrative assistants across 1,706,790 workers, so the figures describe administrative support broadly. The distinction between the two titles is worth drawing, because it affects both the work and the pay. An administrative assistant supports people — a manager, a team, their calendars and documents. An office coordinator supports the office as an entity: vendor and facilities relationships, supplies and equipment, space and desk allocation, health and safety, onboarding logistics, and the processes that keep a workplace functioning. That is closer to operations than to secretarial work, and coordinators who present it as such — with vendor contracts, budgets and process ownership as evidence — sit in the upper half of this band and often progress into office management, facilities or human resources operations. Employment is projected to decline 1.6% through 2034, with roughly 202,800 openings a year. → Full office coordinator career guide, career path, credentials & placement →

Methodology & Sources
How the numbers on this page are built
Published (BLS): BLS OEWS May 2025, SOC 43-6014, United States national estimate. Public, methodologically rigorous, but sampled on a rolling 3-year basis and published ~10 months after collection — so it reflects wages that are already 1–2 years old by the time you read them.
Level and certification medians: distributed across the published BLS percentile range for this SOC code (P10 through P90) according to the credential tiers this occupation actually hires at. They are modeled reference points, not separately surveyed wages.
State and metro figures: modeled — the BLS national median multiplied by the GlobalCybers state wage index, and for metros by the published metro index for that state. They are estimates of local pay, not BLS state or metropolitan-area observations, and are labelled as modeled in the tables below.
