Securities, Commodities, and Financial Services Sales Agents pay in New York and Utah
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Securities, Commodities, and Financial Services Sales Agents is $168,340 per year in New York. It is $64,660 per year in Utah. New York is 160.3% above Utah 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 55,630 wage and salary jobs in New York and 4,520 in Utah. 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.
