What our analysts see this month

Competitive market | next 3-6 months

This is still a real market: office and administrative support accounts for 159,220 jobs in Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, equal to 11.7% of local employment, and metro unemployment was 3.9% in August 2026. But it is not an easy market, because Maryland administrative and office support postings were down 8.7% year-over-year in September 2026, while Baltimore professional and business services employment slipped 0.3512% year-over-year in August 2026. The practical read is that openings exist, but employers look selective and the easiest path is through onsite, sector-specific support work rather than generic remote admin applications.

Best positioned: Candidates with recent onsite office experience, solid data-entry and Microsoft Office skills, and comfort with scheduling or insurance-verification workflows have the best odds right now, especially in healthcare-linked settings.

Main caution: The biggest misconception is treating this like a broad remote-office market when about 90% of sampled local postings are onsite and only about 5% are remote.

Where the demand is

Real opportunity is concentrated in a few operating environments, not evenly spread across all "office jobs." In the recent local posting sample, hospitals and health care accounted for about 30% of postings, another healthcare bucket for about 20%, hospitality for about 15%, health care services and hospitals for about 10%, and restaurants for about 10%. That lines up with the most consistently active named employers in the sample, including LifeBridge Health Inc, Mercy Medical Center, Inc., and Domino's Inc. Within the occupation, the market is broad but layered. Baltimore had 29,780 secretaries and administrative assistants excluding legal, medical, and executive roles, 8,660 receptionists and information clerks, 8,260 executive assistants, and 15,070 first-line supervisors of office and administrative support workers in May 2025. Executive assistants are especially concentrated locally, with an employment concentration of 2.06 times the national average, which is one of the clearest signs that senior support work can be a better niche here than in many metros. The catch is access. About 70% of sampled postings skew entry-level, and about 90% are onsite, so the market is broadest for people willing to work in person and strongest on basic office throughput, customer handling, scheduling, and documentation.

• Healthcare front office and scheduling (high): This is the clearest local pocket of demand because healthcare-related employers dominate the recent posting mix, and appointment scheduling plus insurance verification each show up in about 10% of postings.
• General admin and data-entry support (moderate): This is still a large lane, and data entry appears in about 25% of local postings while Microsoft Office appears in about 15%. The opportunity is real, but these are also the roles most likely to draw broad competition.
• Executive support and office leadership (moderate): This segment is narrower but more attractive. Executive assistants earned a local mean annual wage of $80,590, and the occupation is concentrated at 2.06 times the national average in Baltimore.
• Remote-first admin work (limited): This is the weakest local lane because only about 5% of sampled postings were remote and another about 5% were hybrid.

Where to focus: Focus first on onsite healthcare-linked admin roles, then stretch into executive-support openings if you already have calendar ownership, meeting support, and stakeholder coordination experience.

Roles worth searching next

• Patient access representative or medical office scheduler: Healthcare is the strongest local admin hiring pocket, and insurance verification plus appointment scheduling each show up in about 10% of local postings. Nationally, medical secretaries and administrative assistants are projected to grow 4.2% from 2024 to 2034.
• Recruiting coordinator: Calendar management, data entry, scheduling, and candidate communication transfer well from office support into people-ops work.
• Accounts payable or finance assistant: Detail accuracy, document handling, follow-up, and office systems discipline all transfer from administrative support into finance-support work.
• Operations coordinator: If your background already includes vendor follow-up, scheduling, paperwork control, and cross-team coordination, this is a natural next step.

What postings ask for

• Data entry (table_stakes | immediate): It appears in about 25% of local postings, making it the clearest baseline screen for this market. Who: Entry-level candidates, returners, and career switchers.
• Microsoft Office and Microsoft Word (table_stakes | immediate): Microsoft Office appears in about 15% of local postings and Microsoft Word in about 10%, so practical fluency still matters more than generic "computer skills." Who: Everyone applying into the category.
• Customer service and front-desk communication (table_stakes | immediate): Customer service shows up in about 15% of local postings, which fits a market tilted toward healthcare, hospitality, and restaurant-linked employers. Who: Career switchers from retail, hospitality, food service, and patient-facing roles.
• Appointment scheduling and insurance verification (differentiator | immediate): Appointment scheduling and insurance verification each appear in about 10% of local postings, reflecting how much of the local admin market sits near healthcare operations. Who: Anyone targeting healthcare front office, intake, or patient-facing administrative work.
• AI and automation proficiency (differentiator | near-term): Administrative workflows are increasingly being reshaped by tools such as Microsoft Copilot and Google Workspace AI, and employers are increasingly seeking digital literacy and AI literacy in administrative talent. Who: Mid-career candidates and executive-support applicants who want to stand out without changing careers.
• Data analysis and reporting (premium | near-term): Data Analysis and Reporting is identified as an emerging administrative skill in 2026, and it is one of the clearest ways to move from routine support into higher-value coordination work. Who: Mid-career admin professionals aiming for better-paid or more strategic roles.

Questions about this market

What do Administrative & Office Support roles pay in Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD?

Government wage data puts Baltimore office and administrative support at a $54,490 annual mean and a $49,590 annual median in 2025, with a 25th-to-75th percentile range of $41,070 to $62,400 and a 90th-percentile figure of $79,230. Local posting data points in a similar but not identical direction: advertised salaries center on about $50k to $69k, and hourly postings center on about $17 to $22 / hour. This is somewhat better than the national occupation averages of $51,560 mean and $47,450 median, so Baltimore is not a low-pay office-support market. But the Baltimore-area CPI was up 2.3% over the year through August 2026, so a merely average offer can still feel tight if the job is fully onsite and commute-heavy.
