The most recent occupational employment data available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) put the number of radiologic technologists and technicians employed in the United States at nearly 207,000 as of May 2020. About 25,700 radiologic technologists and technicians were employed in the four-state U.S. Southwest region at that time. BLS data showed the region to be a modestly subpar one for radiologic tech pay, as no state in the region recorded an annual mean wage level for radiologic techs that exceeded the national average. A further look at BLS data from May 2020 reveals the following about radiologic tech pay in the U.S. Southwest:
