Residential Advisors pay in New Hampshire and New Jersey
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Residential Advisors is $49,010 per year in New Hampshire. It is $43,880 per year in New Jersey. New Hampshire is 11.7% above New Jersey on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 39-9041 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 420 wage and salary jobs in New Hampshire and 1,630 in New Jersey. 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.
