Farm Labor Contractors pay in California and Minnesota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Farm Labor Contractors is $85,710 per year in California. It is $50,730 per year in Minnesota. California is 69.0% above Minnesota on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 13-1074 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 Not published wage and salary jobs in California and Not published 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.
