Financial Clerks, All Other pay in New York and North Dakota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Financial Clerks, All Other is $61,500 per year in New York. It is $56,680 per year in North Dakota. New York is 8.5% above North Dakota on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 43-3099 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 2,450 wage and salary jobs in New York and 140 in North Dakota. 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.
