BLS metro-level wage data places Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive pay in Enid, OK at a median of $37,460 per year ($18.01/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $47,540, Enid pays 21% below, which typically tracks with a lower local cost of living or smaller specialized-employer cluster. Approximately 270 secretaries and administrative assistants, except legal, medical, and executives are employed across the Enid MSA in SOC 43-6014.

The Enid pay distribution spans from $27,520 at the 10th percentile to $51,910 at the 90th — a 1.9× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro. The 25th percentile sits at $29,640 and the 75th at $47,280, so half of Enid-based secretaries and administrative assistants, except legal, medical, and executives earn within that middle band.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Enid, OK covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide OK data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
