Start with the answer
Advertising and Promotions Managers pay in Massachusetts and New York
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Advertising and Promotions Managers is $163,090 per year in Massachusetts. It is $173,700 per year in New York. Massachusetts is 6.1% below New York on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 11-2011 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 300 wage and salary jobs in Massachusetts and 3,550 in New York. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
