Biochemists and Biophysicists pay in Florida and Minnesota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Biochemists and Biophysicists is $157,390 per year in Florida. It is $81,280 per year in Minnesota. Florida is 93.6% above Minnesota on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 19-1021 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 370 wage and salary jobs in Florida and 190 in Minnesota. 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.
