Food Batchmakers pay in Georgia and Vermont
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Food Batchmakers is $46,490 per year in Georgia. It is $50,180 per year in Vermont. Georgia is 7.4% below Vermont on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 51-3092 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 4,290 wage and salary jobs in Georgia and 1,000 in Vermont. 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.
