What the Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median says in New Mexico
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median in New Mexico at $60,490 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 25-1194 and BLS area 35.
BLS lists 1,070 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $77,800 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
New Mexico's Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median is 5.2% below the U.S. Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median of $63,820 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 25-1194 and area 35. SOC 25-1194 names Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. Area 35 names New Mexico. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 25-1194/35 row reports 1,070 wage and salary jobs, 1.23 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.68 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 25-1194/35, the annual median is $60,490 per year, while the matching mean is $77,800 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 35 facts behind this Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary page
Area 35 reports 870,970 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $62,330. Its annual median is $47,210. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 25-1194 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in New Mexico runs from $28,760 at the 10th percentile to $110,070 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,260. The median is $47,210. The 75th percentile is $75,030. This is a place check, not a pay range for Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 35. They do not show related skills or a path into Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary.
1. Area 35, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 38,910 jobs, $28,520 annual median, 44.67 jobs per 1,000, and 1.61 location quotient.
2. Area 35, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 28,250 jobs, $28,700 annual median, 32.43 jobs per 1,000, and 1.31 location quotient.
3. Area 35, SOC 43-6014, Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive: 25,430 jobs, $46,450 annual median, 29.2 jobs per 1,000, and 2.66 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the New Mexico wage ladder for Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary
The 10th percentile is $43,490 per year. The 25th percentile is $47,960 per year. The median is $60,490 per year. The 75th percentile is $83,200 per year. The 90th percentile is $177,330 per year.
A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $47,960 per year to $83,200 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $133,840. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
New Mexico has a annual median of $60,490 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $63,820 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for New Mexico. New Mexico is 5.2% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Where New Mexico sits for Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary
New Mexico ranks 36 of 52 among states and territories with a published annual median for Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 36 of 52 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
33. Kentucky has a Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median of $61,080 per year, 1,560 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.07.
34. Ohio has a Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median of $60,600 per year, 3,440 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.84.
35. Nebraska has a Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median of $60,490 per year, 470 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.62.
Pay leaders
Where Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 25-1194, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Wisconsin has the highest published median in this set, at $82,620 per year. New Mexico sits at $60,490 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Wisconsin has a Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median of $82,620 per year, or $22,130 above New Mexico. BLS lists 2,000 jobs there, compared with 1,070 in New Mexico. The location quotient is 0.93.
2. South Carolina has a Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median of $79,610 per year, or $19,120 above New Mexico. BLS lists 1,980 jobs there, compared with 1,070 in New Mexico. The location quotient is 1.17.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary in this same-source set, at 12,620 jobs. New Mexico has 1,070. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. Texas has 12,620 estimated Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary jobs, a gap of 11,550 jobs from New Mexico. Its median is $65,180 per year, or $4,690 above New Mexico. Its location quotient is 1.22.
2. California has 11,040 estimated Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary jobs, a gap of 9,970 jobs from New Mexico. Its median is $76,630 per year, or $16,140 above New Mexico. Its location quotient is 0.83.
Local-share leaders
Where Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary takes the largest share of local jobs
Alaska has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.7. New Mexico has 1.68. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Alaska has a location quotient of 4.7, a gap of 3.02 from New Mexico. BLS lists 1,120 Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $77,310 per year, or $16,820 above New Mexico.
2. Oklahoma has a location quotient of 2.43, a gap of 0.75 from New Mexico. BLS lists 3,040 Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $67,060 per year, or $6,570 above New Mexico.
3. Puerto Rico has a location quotient of 2.21, a gap of 0.53 from New Mexico. BLS lists 1,530 Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $42,470 per year, or $18,020 below New Mexico.
Job scale and share
How common Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary is in New Mexico
BLS lists 1,070 Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary jobs in New Mexico. It also lists 1.23 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 1.68. A value of 1 means Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary beside other roles in New Mexico
The all-occupations median in New Mexico is $47,210 per year. The Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median is $60,490 per year. Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary is 28.1% above the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for New Mexico. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a New Mexico median of $62,640 per year. BLS lists 8,330 jobs and a location quotient of 1.03.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a New Mexico median of $50,500 per year. BLS lists 11,820 jobs and a location quotient of 1.02.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in New Mexico
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded New Mexico table, at 38,910 jobs. Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary has 1,070 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 870,970. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 38,910 jobs in New Mexico, a gap of 37,840 from Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. Its median is $28,520 per year, or $31,970 below Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.61.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 28,250 jobs in New Mexico, a gap of 27,180 from Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. Its median is $28,700 per year, or $31,790 below Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.31.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around New Mexico
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded New Mexico role table, at $98,630 per year. Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary has $60,490 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,210 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. General and Operations Managers has a median of $98,630 per year in New Mexico, or $38,140 above Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 16,330 jobs, compared with 1,070 for Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 0.83.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $94,340 per year in New Mexico, or $33,850 above Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 17,980 jobs, compared with 1,070 for Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 0.95.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in New Mexico
Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has the highest location quotient in the bounded New Mexico role table, at 2.66. Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary has 1.68. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has a location quotient of 2.66 in New Mexico, a gap of 0.98 from Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 25,430 jobs and a median of $46,450 per year, or $14,040 below Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary.
2. Construction Laborers has a location quotient of 2.03 in New Mexico, a gap of 0.35 from Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 12,470 jobs and a median of $38,400 per year, or $22,090 below Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary.
Price-level view
What $60,490 may mean after the New Mexico price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for New Mexico is 92.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $60,490 Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary median by 92.2 divided by 100. The result is $65,599 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 73.6. Goods are 96.1. Utilities are 77.9. Other services are 98.5. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary row is 10%. The mean-wage RSE is 7.6%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 1,070 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $77,800 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary. It uses a New Mexico place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $60,490 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
What the Career/Technical Education Teachers, Postsecondary row for New Mexico does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 1,070 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.68 is not a growth score. Rank 36 of 52 is not a place score. The 92.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 25-1194 in BLS area 35. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
BLS published an employment estimate of 1,070 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
