Farm and Home Management Educators Salary and Pay

The national wage ladder (BLS OEWS, May 2024)

Read the ladder vertically: each row is the wage of the Farm and Home Management Educators worker at that point in the distribution, so $69,110 at the 75th percentile means three quarters of the occupation earns less. Figures BLS cannot publish appear as n/p, and its top code prints as $239,200+.

Employment and concentration

With 10,260 jobs nationally, Farm and Home Management Educators make up 0.01% of U.S. employment as BLS measured it in May 2024. The map is uneven: Florida alone holds 2,900 of those jobs, the top three states hold 42.1%, and the deepest concentration sits in Wyoming (location quotient 6.34, where 1.00 is the national average). A quotient above 2 usually signals a local industry cluster rather than evenly spread demand.

Read the ladder as a career path in numbers: $46,010 at the 25th percentile, $58,120 at the middle, $69,110 at the 75th. The full 10-to-90 range runs $48,450, a ratio of 2.3 to 1. Where a specific job offer lands on that range says more about the role's level than the occupation's headline median does.

Pay by state

Highest-paying metros (500+ jobs)

At the other end, Madison, WI posts the lowest mean pay among metros with at least 500 jobs, $57,940 a year, against $63,730 in Raleigh-Cary, NC.

Moving from the 25th percentile ($46,010) to the 75th ($69,110) is worth $23,100 a year, which is the realistic size of the experience and specialization premium inside this occupation. Run the median through the paycheck calculator for a take-home estimate in your state, compare an offer against your current pay with the salary calculator, and check whether a raise actually beats prices with the raise vs inflation calculator.

To place a real offer: a salary of $63,932 would sit between the median ($58,120) and the 75th percentile ($69,110), inside the top half but outside the top quarter of this occupation's ladder. An offer at the 25th percentile, $46,010, is $12,110 under the median, the typical size of the discount attached to entry-level or low-cost-market postings in this field.
