WageScope divides the published Farm Labor Contractors median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 13-1074 and BLS area 27.
Questions, answered
Farm Labor Contractors pay in Minnesota: common questions
What is the median wage for Farm Labor Contractors in Minnesota?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $50,730 per year for Farm Labor Contractors in Minnesota. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.

What the Farm Labor Contractors median says in Minnesota
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Farm Labor Contractors median in Minnesota at $50,730 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 13-1074 and BLS area 27.
BLS lists Not published 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 $50,570 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Minnesota's Farm Labor Contractors median is 13.2% below the U.S. Farm Labor Contractors median of $58,460 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 13-1074 and area 27. SOC 13-1074 names Farm Labor Contractors. Area 27 names Minnesota. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 13-1074/27 row reports Not published wage and salary jobs, Not published jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a Not published location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 13-1074/27, the annual median is $50,730 per year, while the matching mean is $50,570 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
13-1074/27 10th percentile: $30,540 per year.

BLS area 27 facts behind this Farm Labor Contractors page
Area 27 reports 2,949,820 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,160. Its annual median is $56,920. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 13-1074 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Minnesota runs from $33,540 at the 10th percentile to $125,730 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $39,680. The median is $56,920. The 75th percentile is $82,520. This is a place check, not a pay range for Farm Labor Contractors.
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 27. They do not show related skills or a path into Farm Labor Contractors.
1. Area 27, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 128,680 jobs, $38,370 annual median, 43.62 jobs per 1,000, and 1.58 location quotient.
2. Area 27, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 74,840 jobs, $36,370 annual median, 25.37 jobs per 1,000, and 1.01 location quotient.
3. Area 27, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 72,860 jobs, $99,340 annual median, 24.7 jobs per 1,000, and 1.1 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Minnesota wage ladder for Farm Labor Contractors
The 10th percentile is $30,540 per year. The 25th percentile is $49,640 per year. The median is $50,730 per year. The 75th percentile is $59,780 per year. The 90th percentile is $61,080 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 $49,640 per year to $59,780 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $30,540. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Minnesota has a annual median of $50,730 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $58,460 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Minnesota. Minnesota is 13.2% 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.
Minnesota ranks 3 of 3 among states and territories with a published annual median for Farm Labor Contractors. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 3 of 3 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.
1. California has a Farm Labor Contractors median of $85,710 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
2. Florida has a Farm Labor Contractors median of $79,590 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
Where Farm Labor Contractors medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 13-1074, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. California has the highest published median in this set, at $85,710 per year. Minnesota sits at $50,730 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Farm Labor Contractors 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. California has a Farm Labor Contractors median of $85,710 per year, or $34,980 above Minnesota. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with Not published in Minnesota. The location quotient is Not published.
2. Florida has a Farm Labor Contractors median of $79,590 per year, or $28,860 above Minnesota. BLS lists Not published jobs there, compared with Not published in Minnesota. The location quotient is Not published.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Farm Labor Contractors jobs
No area has the largest published state job estimate for Farm Labor Contractors in this same-source set, at Not published jobs. Minnesota has Not published. 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.
Where Farm Labor Contractors takes the largest share of local jobs
No area has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at Not published. Minnesota has Not published. 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 Farm Labor Contractors 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.
BLS lists Not published Farm Labor Contractors jobs in Minnesota. It also lists Not published 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 Not published. A value of 1 means Farm Labor Contractors has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is not available for a share check. 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.
Farm Labor Contractors beside other roles in Minnesota
The all-occupations median in Minnesota is $56,920 per year. The Farm Labor Contractors median is $50,730 per year. Farm Labor Contractors is 10.9% below 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 Minnesota. 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 Farm Labor Contractors. 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. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a Minnesota median of $51,400 per year. BLS lists 31,330 jobs and a location quotient of 0.97.
2. Customer Service Representatives, SOC 43-4051, has a Minnesota median of $48,800 per year. BLS lists 53,340 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers, SOC 41-1011, has a Minnesota median of $48,770 per year. BLS lists 21,530 jobs and a location quotient of 1.01.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Minnesota
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Minnesota table, at 128,680 jobs. Farm Labor Contractors has Not published 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 2,949,820. 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 Farm Labor Contractors's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 128,680 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of not available from Farm Labor Contractors. Its median is $38,370 per year, or $12,360 below Farm Labor Contractors. Its location quotient is 1.58.
2. Retail Salespersons has 74,840 jobs in Minnesota, a gap of not available from Farm Labor Contractors. Its median is $36,370 per year, or $14,360 below Farm Labor Contractors. Its location quotient is 1.01.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Minnesota
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Minnesota role table, at $130,050 per year. Farm Labor Contractors has $50,730 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $56,920 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. Software Developers has a median of $130,050 per year in Minnesota, or $79,320 above Farm Labor Contractors. BLS lists 35,890 jobs, compared with Not published for Farm Labor Contractors. Its location quotient is 1.12.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $101,510 per year in Minnesota, or $50,780 above Farm Labor Contractors. BLS lists 70,110 jobs, compared with Not published for Farm Labor Contractors. Its location quotient is 1.09.
3. General and Operations Managers has a median of $99,340 per year in Minnesota, or $48,610 above Farm Labor Contractors. BLS lists 72,860 jobs, compared with Not published for Farm Labor Contractors. Its location quotient is 1.1.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Minnesota
Bartenders has the highest location quotient in the bounded Minnesota role table, at 1.7. Farm Labor Contractors has Not published. 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 Farm Labor Contractors with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Bartenders has a location quotient of 1.7 in Minnesota, a gap of not available from Farm Labor Contractors. BLS lists 24,420 jobs and a median of $26,900 per year, or $23,830 below Farm Labor Contractors.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.68 in Minnesota, a gap of not available from Farm Labor Contractors. BLS lists 44,810 jobs and a median of $46,920 per year, or $3,810 below Farm Labor Contractors.
3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.58 in Minnesota, a gap of not available from Farm Labor Contractors. BLS lists 128,680 jobs and a median of $38,370 per year, or $12,360 below Farm Labor Contractors.
Price-level view
What $50,730 may mean after the Minnesota price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Minnesota is 98.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 1.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $50,730 Farm Labor Contractors median by 98.6 divided by 100. The result is $51,439 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 91.3. Goods are 100.5. Utilities are 90.8. Other services are 100.2. 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 Farm Labor Contractors row is Not published. The mean-wage RSE is 2.6%. 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 Not published job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $50,570 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 Farm Labor Contractors. It uses a Minnesota 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 $50,730 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 Farm Labor Contractors row for Minnesota 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 Not published job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of Not published is not a growth score. Rank 3 of 3 is not a place score. The 98.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 13-1074 in BLS area 27. 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 Not published 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.
