Agricultural Engineers pay in Ohio and Pennsylvania
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Agricultural Engineers is $119,250 per year in Ohio. It is $80,300 per year in Pennsylvania. Ohio is 48.5% above Pennsylvania on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 17-2021 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 60 wage and salary jobs in Ohio and Not published in Pennsylvania. 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.
