Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary pay in Texas and Wisconsin
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary is $65,180 per year in Texas. It is $82,620 per year in Wisconsin. Texas is 21.1% below Wisconsin on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 25-1194 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 12,620 wage and salary jobs in Texas and 2,000 in Wisconsin. 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.
