Nearly 207,000 radiologic technicians and technologists were employed in the United States as of May 2020 according to the most recent occupational employment data released from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The five-state Rocky Mountain region accounted for just under 8,000 of those radiologic technologist and technician jobs. BLS data reveals the region to be a mixed picture for radiologic tech pay. About half the radiologic tech professionals in the region lived in Colorado, a state where the radiologic tech annual mean wage level topped the national average. However, the annual mean wage for radiologic techs in all other states in the region ran below the national average for the profession. More examination of May 2020 data from the BLS reveals the following details about radiologic tech pay in the Rocky Mountain region:
