Miscellaneous Construction and Related Workers pay in Maine and Oklahoma
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Miscellaneous Construction and Related Workers is $75,340 per year in Maine. It is $46,460 per year in Oklahoma. Maine is 62.2% above Oklahoma on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 47-4090 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 90 wage and salary jobs in Maine and Not published 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.
