First-Line Supervisors of Personal Service Workers pay in Rhode Island and Texas
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for First-Line Supervisors of Personal Service Workers is $60,680 per year in Rhode Island. It is $45,560 per year in Texas. Rhode Island is 33.2% above Texas on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 39-1022 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 460 wage and salary jobs in Rhode Island and 11,470 in Texas. 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.
