Farm and Home Management Educators pay in Alabama and California
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Farm and Home Management Educators is $58,330 per year in Alabama. It is $98,770 per year in California. Alabama is 40.9% below California on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 25-9021 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 260 wage and salary jobs in Alabama and 40 in California. 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.
