Questions, answered
Economics Teachers, Postsecondary pay in Iowa: common questions
What is the median wage for Economics Teachers, Postsecondary in Iowa?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $85,090 per year for Economics Teachers, Postsecondary in Iowa. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Economics Teachers, Postsecondary pay higher in Iowa than nationally?
Iowa's published median was 31.3% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.

What the Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median says in Iowa
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median in Iowa at $85,090 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 25-1063 and BLS area 19.
BLS lists 80 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 $94,620 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Iowa's Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median is 31.3% below the U.S. Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median of $123,920 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 25-1063 and area 19. SOC 25-1063 names Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. Area 19 names Iowa. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 25-1063/19 row reports 80 wage and salary jobs, 0.05 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.73 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 25-1063/19, the annual median is $85,090 per year, while the matching mean is $94,620 per year. The row is annual only. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
25-1063/19 suppression marks: hourlyMean: not available, hourlyMedian: not available, hourlyP10: not available, hourlyP25: not available, hourlyP75: not available, hourlyP90: not available.
BLS area 19 facts behind this Economics Teachers, Postsecondary page
Area 19 reports 1,559,240 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $59,830. Its annual median is $48,540. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 25-1063 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Iowa runs from $28,930 at the 10th percentile to $99,630 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,570. The median is $48,540. The 75th percentile is $70,290. This is a place check, not a pay range for Economics 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 19. They do not show related skills or a path into Economics Teachers, Postsecondary.
1. Area 19, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 41,450 jobs, $28,970 annual median, 26.58 jobs per 1,000, and 1.34 location quotient.
2. Area 19, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 41,000 jobs, $31,360 annual median, 26.29 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
3. Area 19, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 40,290 jobs, $28,390 annual median, 25.84 jobs per 1,000, and 1.04 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Iowa wage ladder for Economics Teachers, Postsecondary
The 10th percentile is $63,790 per year. The 25th percentile is $78,410 per year. The median is $85,090 per year. The 75th percentile is $116,010 per year. The 90th percentile is $136,300 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 $78,410 per year to $116,010 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $72,510. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Iowa has a annual median of $85,090 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $123,920 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Iowa. Iowa is 31.3% 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 Iowa sits for Economics Teachers, Postsecondary
Iowa ranks 41 of 42 among states and territories with a published annual median for Economics 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 41 of 42 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.
38. Florida has a Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median of $91,140 per year, 150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.21.
39. Mississippi has a Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median of $88,290 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.8.
40. South Dakota has a Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median of $85,700 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.03.
42. Arkansas has a Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median of $76,610 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.38.
Pay leaders
Where Economics Teachers, Postsecondary medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 25-1063, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. New Hampshire has the highest published median in this set, at $201,610 per year. Iowa sits at $85,090 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Economics 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. New Hampshire has a Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median of $201,610 per year, or $116,520 above Iowa. BLS lists 80 jobs there, compared with 80 in Iowa. The location quotient is 1.52.
2. Massachusetts has a Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median of $164,410 per year, or $79,320 above Iowa. BLS lists 750 jobs there, compared with 80 in Iowa. The location quotient is 2.76.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Economics Teachers, Postsecondary jobs
New York has the largest published state job estimate for Economics Teachers, Postsecondary in this same-source set, at 1,240 jobs. Iowa has 80. 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. New York has 1,240 estimated Economics Teachers, Postsecondary jobs, a gap of 1,160 jobs from Iowa. Its median is $127,500 per year, or $42,410 above Iowa. Its location quotient is 1.72.
2. California has 770 estimated Economics Teachers, Postsecondary jobs, a gap of 690 jobs from Iowa. Its median is $137,360 per year, or $52,270 above Iowa. Its location quotient is 0.57.
3. Texas has 770 estimated Economics Teachers, Postsecondary jobs, a gap of 690 jobs from Iowa. Its median is $118,530 per year, or $33,440 above Iowa. Its location quotient is 0.73.
Local-share leaders
Where Economics Teachers, Postsecondary takes the largest share of local jobs
District of Columbia has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.26. Iowa has 0.73. 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 Economics 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. District of Columbia has a location quotient of 4.26, a gap of 3.53 from Iowa. BLS lists 220 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $161,860 per year, or $76,770 above Iowa.
2. Vermont has a location quotient of 3.4, a gap of 2.67 from Iowa. BLS lists 80 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $134,850 per year, or $49,760 above Iowa.
3. Massachusetts has a location quotient of 2.76, a gap of 2.03 from Iowa. BLS lists 750 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $164,410 per year, or $79,320 above Iowa.
Job scale and share
How common Economics Teachers, Postsecondary is in Iowa
BLS lists 80 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary jobs in Iowa. It also lists 0.05 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 0.73. A value of 1 means Economics Teachers, Postsecondary has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower 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.
Economics Teachers, Postsecondary beside other roles in Iowa
The all-occupations median in Iowa is $48,540 per year. The Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median is $85,090 per year. Economics Teachers, Postsecondary is 75.3% 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 Iowa. 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 Economics 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. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Iowa median of $87,690 per year. BLS lists 30,760 jobs and a location quotient of 0.88.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Iowa median of $78,630 per year. BLS lists 34,420 jobs and a location quotient of 1.02.
3. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a Iowa median of $77,440 per year. BLS lists 13,210 jobs and a location quotient of 0.91.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Iowa
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Iowa table, at 41,450 jobs. Economics Teachers, Postsecondary has 80 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 1,559,240. 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 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 41,450 jobs in Iowa, a gap of 41,370 from Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. Its median is $28,970 per year, or $56,120 below Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.34.
2. Retail Salespersons has 41,000 jobs in Iowa, a gap of 40,920 from Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. Its median is $31,360 per year, or $53,730 below Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Iowa
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Iowa role table, at $87,690 per year. Economics Teachers, Postsecondary has $85,090 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,540 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 $87,690 per year in Iowa, or $2,600 above Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 30,760 jobs, compared with 80 for Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 0.88.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $78,630 per year in Iowa, or $6,460 below Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 34,420 jobs, compared with 80 for Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.02.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Iowa
Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary has the highest location quotient in the bounded Iowa role table, at 1.72. Economics Teachers, Postsecondary has 0.73. 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 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary has a location quotient of 1.72 in Iowa, a gap of 0.99 from Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 24,520 jobs and a median of $30,510 per year, or $54,580 below Economics Teachers, Postsecondary.
2. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers has a location quotient of 1.69 in Iowa, a gap of 0.96 from Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 35,040 jobs and a median of $58,070 per year, or $27,020 below Economics Teachers, Postsecondary.
Price-level view
What $85,090 may mean after the Iowa price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Iowa is 87.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 12.2% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $85,090 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary median by 87.8 divided by 100. The result is $96,955 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 65.3. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 83.3. Other services are 92.9. 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 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary row is 5.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.8%. 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 80 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $94,620 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 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary. It uses a Iowa 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $85,090 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 Economics Teachers, Postsecondary row for Iowa 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 80 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.73 is not a growth score. Rank 41 of 42 is not a place score. The 87.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 25-1063 in BLS area 19. 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 80 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.
