What receptionist pay in Dallas really looks like

Dallas tracks the national market almost exactly. The local receptionist median of about $17.82 an hour ($37,060 a year) sits within 2% ($950) of the U.S. median of $38,010, so national salary benchmarks translate cleanly to this metro — the number you have seen quoted nationally is, give or take, what receptionists actually earn in Dallas.

The local range is moderate — $31,220 at the 25th percentile to $44,190 at the 75th (BLS). Half of Dallas Receptionists earn inside that band, so it is a realistic target window: an offer near $44,190 is genuinely strong for the metro, while anything under $31,220 is worth pushing back on with the BLS figures in hand.

This is a substantial local market: BLS estimates roughly 21,380 receptionist jobs across the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro area (a count of metro employment, not a survey of reported salaries). A deep employer base is good news for pay — it means more openings to compare side by side, more turnover creating vacancies, and more leverage to hold out for an employer at the top of the local range instead of settling for the first offer that lands.

Right now, Jobeezy is tracking 24 open receptionist jobs in Dallas against the BLS $37,060 benchmark — the live listings and the employers hiring are below, so you can see which openings actually clear the metro median before you apply.

Put it together and the picture for Dallas is concrete: a metro median of $37,060 with most receptionists landing between $31,220 and $44,190. The practical move is to aim for the upper half of that band. Jobeezy fit-scores local receptionist openings, surfaces the employers posting toward $44,190, and applies for you — so your time goes to the jobs that clear the Dallas median, not the ones that sit under it.
