Advertising Sales Agents pay in Georgia and Washington
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Advertising Sales Agents is $58,140 per year in Georgia. It is $101,320 per year in Washington. Georgia is 42.6% below Washington on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 41-3011 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 3,150 wage and salary jobs in Georgia and 3,510 in Washington. 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.
