What the History Teachers, Postsecondary median says in West Virginia
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the History Teachers, Postsecondary median in West Virginia at $69,560 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 25-1125 and BLS area 54.
BLS lists 90 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 $69,610 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
West Virginia's History Teachers, Postsecondary median is 17.0% below the U.S. History Teachers, Postsecondary median of $83,820 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 25-1125 and area 54. SOC 25-1125 names History Teachers, Postsecondary. Area 54 names West Virginia. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 25-1125/54 row reports 90 wage and salary jobs, 0.13 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.05 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 25-1125/54, the annual median is $69,560 per year, while the matching mean is $69,610 per year. The row is annual only. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
25-1125/54 suppression marks: hourlyMean: not available, hourlyMedian: not available, hourlyP10: not available, hourlyP25: not available, hourlyP75: not available, hourlyP90: not available.
BLS area 54 facts behind this History Teachers, Postsecondary page
Area 54 reports 701,610 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $56,470. Its annual median is $45,300. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 25-1125 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in West Virginia runs from $26,070 at the 10th percentile to $98,220 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $31,530. The median is $45,300. The 75th percentile is $64,940. This is a place check, not a pay range for History 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 54. They do not show related skills or a path into History Teachers, Postsecondary.
1. Area 54, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 23,430 jobs, $80,130 annual median, 33.39 jobs per 1,000, and 1.54 location quotient.
2. Area 54, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 19,050 jobs, $28,950 annual median, 27.15 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
3. Area 54, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 18,890 jobs, $28,010 annual median, 26.92 jobs per 1,000, and 0.97 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the West Virginia wage ladder for History Teachers, Postsecondary
The 10th percentile is $49,290 per year. The 25th percentile is $59,030 per year. The median is $69,560 per year. The 75th percentile is $76,740 per year. The 90th percentile is $96,380 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 $59,030 per year to $76,740 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $47,090. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
West Virginia has a annual median of $69,560 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $83,820 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for West Virginia. West Virginia is 17.0% 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 West Virginia sits for History Teachers, Postsecondary
West Virginia ranks 39 of 46 among states and territories with a published annual median for History 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 39 of 46 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.
36. Puerto Rico has a History Teachers, Postsecondary median of $73,470 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.42.
37. Tennessee has a History Teachers, Postsecondary median of $72,940 per year, 450 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.12.
38. Florida has a History Teachers, Postsecondary median of $70,880 per year, 320 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.27.
40. South Dakota has a History Teachers, Postsecondary median of $69,220 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.59.
Pay leaders
Where History Teachers, Postsecondary medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 25-1125, 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 $127,170 per year. West Virginia sits at $69,560 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common History 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. California has a History Teachers, Postsecondary median of $127,170 per year, or $57,610 above West Virginia. BLS lists 1,450 jobs there, compared with 90 in West Virginia. The location quotient is 0.66.
2. New Hampshire has a History Teachers, Postsecondary median of $106,880 per year, or $37,320 above West Virginia. BLS lists 100 jobs there, compared with 90 in West Virginia. The location quotient is 1.24.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most History Teachers, Postsecondary jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for History Teachers, Postsecondary in this same-source set, at 2,030 jobs. West Virginia has 90. 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 2,030 estimated History Teachers, Postsecondary jobs, a gap of 1,940 jobs from West Virginia. Its median is $81,530 per year, or $11,970 above West Virginia. Its location quotient is 1.19.
2. New York has 1,660 estimated History Teachers, Postsecondary jobs, a gap of 1,570 jobs from West Virginia. Its median is $100,400 per year, or $30,840 above West Virginia. Its location quotient is 1.42.
Local-share leaders
Where History Teachers, Postsecondary takes the largest share of local jobs
Vermont has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.16. West Virginia has 1.05. 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 History 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. Vermont has a location quotient of 2.16, a gap of 1.11 from West Virginia. BLS lists 80 History Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $83,750 per year, or $14,190 above West Virginia.
2. District of Columbia has a location quotient of 2.07, a gap of 1.02 from West Virginia. BLS lists 180 History Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $85,550 per year, or $15,990 above West Virginia.
3. Arkansas has a location quotient of 1.84, a gap of 0.79 from West Virginia. BLS lists 290 History Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $47,860 per year, or $21,700 below West Virginia.
Job scale and share
How common History Teachers, Postsecondary is in West Virginia
BLS lists 90 History Teachers, Postsecondary jobs in West Virginia. It also lists 0.13 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 1.05. A value of 1 means History 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.
History Teachers, Postsecondary beside other roles in West Virginia
The all-occupations median in West Virginia is $45,300 per year. The History Teachers, Postsecondary median is $69,560 per year. History Teachers, Postsecondary is 53.6% 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 West Virginia. 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 History 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 Construction Trades and Extraction Workers, SOC 47-1011, has a West Virginia median of $80,060 per year. BLS lists 5,380 jobs and a location quotient of 1.47.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a West Virginia median of $80,130 per year. BLS lists 23,430 jobs and a location quotient of 1.54.
3. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a West Virginia median of $82,500 per year. BLS lists 15,300 jobs and a location quotient of 0.97.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in West Virginia
Registered Nurses is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded West Virginia table, at 23,430 jobs. History Teachers, Postsecondary has 90 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 701,610. 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 History Teachers, Postsecondary's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Registered Nurses has 23,430 jobs in West Virginia, a gap of 23,340 from History Teachers, Postsecondary. Its median is $80,130 per year, or $10,570 above History Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.54.
2. Retail Salespersons has 19,050 jobs in West Virginia, a gap of 18,960 from History Teachers, Postsecondary. Its median is $28,950 per year, or $40,610 below History Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around West Virginia
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded West Virginia role table, at $82,500 per year. History Teachers, Postsecondary has $69,560 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,300 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 $82,500 per year in West Virginia, or $12,940 above History Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 15,300 jobs, compared with 90 for History Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 0.97.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,130 per year in West Virginia, or $10,570 above History Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 23,430 jobs, compared with 90 for History Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.54.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in West Virginia
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded West Virginia role table, at 5.7. History Teachers, Postsecondary has 1.05. 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 History Teachers, Postsecondary with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 5.7 in West Virginia, a gap of 4.65 from History Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 16,490 jobs and a median of $23,120 per year, or $46,440 below History Teachers, Postsecondary.
2. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 3.63 in West Virginia, a gap of 2.58 from History Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 7,830 jobs and a median of $51,300 per year, or $18,260 below History Teachers, Postsecondary.
Price-level view
What $69,560 may mean after the West Virginia price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for West Virginia is 89.5. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.5% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $69,560 History Teachers, Postsecondary median by 89.5 divided by 100. The result is $77,723 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 54.2. Goods are 96.5. Utilities are 92.2. Other services are 99.9. 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 History Teachers, Postsecondary row is 3.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.2%. 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 90 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $69,610 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 History Teachers, Postsecondary. It uses a West Virginia 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 $69,560 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 History Teachers, Postsecondary row for West Virginia 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 90 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.05 is not a growth score. Rank 39 of 46 is not a place score. The 89.5 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 25-1125 in BLS area 54. 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 90 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.
