Medical and Health Services Managers pay in New York and Oklahoma
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Medical and Health Services Managers is $164,120 per year in New York. It is $101,270 per year in Oklahoma. New York is 62.1% above Oklahoma 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 33,200 wage and salary jobs in New York and 6,030 in Oklahoma. 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.
