Farm Labor Contractors Salary and Pay

The national wage ladder (BLS OEWS, May 2024)

Percentiles answer the question a single average cannot: where would a given Farm Labor Contractors offer sit among all 410 workers doing this job? The survey top-codes at $239,200+ and withholds unreliable cells, shown as n/p in the table.

Employment and concentration

BLS counted 410 Farm Labor Contractors jobs nationally in May 2024, 0.00% of all U.S. employment in the survey. For this occupation BLS publishes state wage estimates for 2 states but suppresses the state employment counts and location quotients, because the sample behind each state cell is too small to disclose. The state table below is therefore a wage table: it shows what the work pays state by state, and the national ladder above is the employment picture. Any site quoting a state headcount for this occupation is estimating outside the published survey.

Pay inside the occupation is wide: $57,060 separates the ends of its ladder. The 90th percentile ($86,860) is 2.9 times the 10th percentile ($29,800), a gap of $57,060 a year. The mean of $51,910 sitting above the median of $48,690 tells you the top end pulls the average up: most workers cluster below the mean, and the high tail is thin.

Pay by state

Sorted by employment, the table below puts California first at n/p jobs; sorted by median pay instead, California would lead at $74,120. Both orderings are printed in one table:

The occupation in context

Ranked against all 826 published occupations, Farm Labor Contractors stands number 823 by employment and number 552 by median pay. Inside its own major group, Business and Financial Operations Occupations, the group median wage is $78,420 across 32 detailed occupations, so this occupation pays 38% less than its group median, and it supplies 0.0% of the group's 10,351,430 jobs. In 2 of the 2 states with a published median, the state median beats the national median of $48,690, which is the single best quick test of whether this occupation's pay is set nationally or locally: a high count means local markets regularly outbid the national figure.

Metropolitan areas

BLS publishes no metropolitan area estimates for Farm Labor Contractors in the May 2024 release: the occupation is too small or too dispersed for metro-level samples to clear the survey's reliability rules. The state table above is the finest geography available for this occupation, and any site quoting you a metro wage for it is estimating from something else.

What the median pay looks like as a budget

As a household number, $48,690 a year is $4,058 a month gross, $1,873 every two weeks, $936 a week. Moving from the 25th percentile ($32,860) to the 75th ($58,250) is worth $25,390 a year, which is the realistic size of the experience and specialization premium inside this occupation. The next step from a gross figure is a net one: run the $4,058 monthly figure through the paycheck calculator applies your state's taxes, the salary calculator compares two offers in any unit, and the raise vs inflation calculator tells you whether a nominal raise is a real one.

To place a real offer: a salary of $53,559 would sit between the median ($48,690) and the 75th percentile ($58,250), inside the top half but outside the top quarter of this occupation's ladder. An offer at the 25th percentile, $32,860, is $15,830 under the median, the typical size of the discount attached to entry-level or low-cost-market postings in this field.
