Credit Analysts pay in New York and Oklahoma
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Credit Analysts is $133,270 per year in New York. It is $75,330 per year in Oklahoma. New York is 76.9% above Oklahoma on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 13-2041 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 7,960 wage and salary jobs in New York and 550 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.
