Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary pay in Maryland and Utah
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary is $108,160 per year in Maryland. It is $168,060 per year in Utah. Maryland is 35.6% below Utah on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 25-1071 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 7,460 wage and salary jobs in Maryland and 3,520 in Utah. 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.
