Occupational Outlook for Medical Assistants

What Could You Earn?

In the year 2023, the median annual wage for medical assistants was $42,000 per year. A medical assistant salary can increase based on selected specialty, achieved certifications, and years of experience.

What Does Employment Look Like?

The employment of medical assistants is projected to grow 15% through 2033, much faster than the average growth for all occupations. As the baby-boom population continues to enter older age groups, which typically have more healthcare concerns, the demand for medical services will also rise. As a result, more medical assistants will be needed to perform routine administrative and clinical duties in physicians' offices and other primary care settings.
