Securities, Commodities, and Financial Services Sales Agents pay in Georgia and New York
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Securities, Commodities, and Financial Services Sales Agents is $59,990 per year in Georgia. It is $168,340 per year in New York. Georgia is 64.4% below New York on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 41-3031 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 14,950 wage and salary jobs in Georgia and 55,630 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.
