Financial Risk Specialists pay in Maine and New Hampshire
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Financial Risk Specialists is $141,020 per year in Maine. It is $158,320 per year in New Hampshire. Maine is 10.9% below New Hampshire on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 13-2054 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 Maine and 300 in New Hampshire. 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.
