Agricultural Technicians pay in Iowa and Oklahoma
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Agricultural Technicians is $64,070 per year in Iowa. It is $37,840 per year in Oklahoma. Iowa is 69.3% above Oklahoma on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 19-4012 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 Not published wage and salary jobs in Iowa and Not published in Oklahoma. 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.
