Bailiffs pay in Alabama and Alaska
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Bailiffs is $42,300 per year in Alabama. It is $90,600 per year in Alaska. Alabama is 53.3% below Alaska on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 33-3011 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 150 wage and salary jobs in Alabama and 60 in Alaska. 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.
