Insurance Claims and Policy Processing Clerks pay in Idaho and New Hampshire
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Insurance Claims and Policy Processing Clerks is $47,200 per year in Idaho. It is $60,650 per year in New Hampshire. Idaho is 22.2% below New Hampshire on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 43-9041 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 580 wage and salary jobs in Idaho and 820 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.
