Medical and Health Services Managers pay in New Jersey and New York
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Medical and Health Services Managers is $145,650 per year in New Jersey. It is $164,120 per year in New York. New Jersey is 11.3% below New York on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 11-9111 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 16,900 wage and salary jobs in New Jersey and 33,200 in New York. 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.
