What the Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median says in Alabama
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median in Alabama at $66,520 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 25-1113 and BLS area 01.
BLS lists 240 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 $75,250 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Alabama's Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median is 14.2% below the U.S. Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median of $77,570 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 25-1113 and area 01. SOC 25-1113 names Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. Area 01 names Alabama. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 25-1113/01 row reports 240 wage and salary jobs, 0.11 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.39 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 25-1113/01, the annual median is $66,520 per year, while the matching mean is $75,250 per year. The row is annual only. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
25-1113/01 suppression marks: hourlyMean: not available, hourlyMedian: not available, hourlyP10: not available, hourlyP25: not available, hourlyP75: not available, hourlyP90: not available.
BLS area 01 facts behind this Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary page
Area 01 reports 2,113,660 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $57,500. Its annual median is $45,670. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 25-1113 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Alabama runs from $26,090 at the 10th percentile to $101,250 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $32,050. The median is $45,670. The 75th percentile is $66,790. This is a place check, not a pay range for Social Work 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 01. They do not show related skills or a path into Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary.
1. Area 01, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 60,880 jobs, $30,040 annual median, 28.81 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
2. Area 01, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 54,340 jobs, $77,080 annual median, 25.71 jobs per 1,000, and 1.18 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Alabama wage ladder for Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary
The 10th percentile is $51,130 per year. The 25th percentile is $58,220 per year. The median is $66,520 per year. The 75th percentile is $75,660 per year. The 90th percentile is $103,710 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 $58,220 per year to $75,660 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $52,580. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Alabama has a annual median of $66,520 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $77,570 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Alabama. Alabama is 14.2% 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 Alabama sits for Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary
Alabama ranks 31 of 44 among states and territories with a published annual median for Social Work 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 31 of 44 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.
28. New Mexico has a Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median of $69,950 per year, 210 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.01.
29. North Carolina has a Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median of $68,660 per year, 580 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.44.
30. Puerto Rico has a Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median of $66,990 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.97.
32. Missouri has a Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median of $66,470 per year, 150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.65.
Pay leaders
Where Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 25-1113, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Hawaii has the highest published median in this set, at $133,340 per year. Alabama sits at $66,520 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Social Work 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. Hawaii has a Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median of $133,340 per year, or $66,820 above Alabama. BLS lists 50 jobs there, compared with 240 in Alabama. The location quotient is 0.91.
2. Kansas has a Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median of $108,610 per year, or $42,090 above Alabama. BLS lists 50 jobs there, compared with 240 in Alabama. The location quotient is 0.44.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary jobs
New York has the largest published state job estimate for Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary in this same-source set, at 1,840 jobs. Alabama has 240. 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 1,840 estimated Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary jobs, a gap of 1,600 jobs from Alabama. Its median is $98,700 per year, or $32,180 above Alabama. Its location quotient is 2.34.
2. Pennsylvania has 1,050 estimated Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary jobs, a gap of 810 jobs from Alabama. Its median is $75,920 per year, or $9,400 above Alabama. Its location quotient is 2.13.
Local-share leaders
Where Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary takes the largest share of local jobs
New Mexico has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.01. Alabama has 1.39. 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 Social Work 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. New Mexico has a location quotient of 3.01, a gap of 1.62 from Alabama. BLS lists 210 Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $69,950 per year, or $3,430 above Alabama.
2. South Dakota has a location quotient of 2.67, a gap of 1.28 from Alabama. BLS lists 100 Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $60,100 per year, or $6,420 below Alabama.
3. New York has a location quotient of 2.34, a gap of 0.95 from Alabama. BLS lists 1,840 Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary jobs and a median of $98,700 per year, or $32,180 above Alabama.
Job scale and share
How common Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary is in Alabama
BLS lists 240 Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary jobs in Alabama. It also lists 0.11 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 1.39. A value of 1 means Social Work 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.
Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary beside other roles in Alabama
The all-occupations median in Alabama is $45,670 per year. The Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median is $66,520 per year. Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary is 45.7% 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 Alabama. 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 Social Work 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. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products, SOC 41-4012, has a Alabama median of $64,140 per year. BLS lists 20,470 jobs and a location quotient of 1.22.
2. Industrial Machinery Mechanics, SOC 49-9041, has a Alabama median of $61,920 per year. BLS lists 17,850 jobs and a location quotient of 2.99.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Alabama
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Alabama table, at 60,880 jobs. Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary has 240 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 2,113,660. 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 Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 60,880 jobs in Alabama, a gap of 60,640 from Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. Its median is $30,040 per year, or $36,480 below Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.15.
2. Registered Nurses has 54,340 jobs in Alabama, a gap of 54,100 from Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. Its median is $77,080 per year, or $10,560 above Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 1.18.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Alabama
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Alabama role table, at $122,540 per year. Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary has $66,520 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,670 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 $122,540 per year in Alabama, or $56,020 above Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 17,450 jobs, compared with 240 for Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 0.76.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $111,790 per year in Alabama, or $45,270 above Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 30,170 jobs, compared with 240 for Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. Its location quotient is 0.63.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Alabama
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Alabama role table, at 3.07. Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary has 1.39. 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 Social Work 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 3.07 in Alabama, a gap of 1.68 from Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 26,740 jobs and a median of $27,870 per year, or $38,650 below Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary.
2. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a location quotient of 2.99 in Alabama, a gap of 1.60 from Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. BLS lists 17,850 jobs and a median of $61,920 per year, or $4,600 below Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary.
Price-level view
What $66,520 may mean after the Alabama price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Alabama is 88.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.2% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $66,520 Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary median by 88.8 divided by 100. The result is $74,891 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 61.8. Goods are 96.4. Utilities are 84.6. Other services are 96.7. 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 Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary row is 1.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. 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 240 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $75,250 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 Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary. It uses a Alabama 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 $66,520 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 Social Work Teachers, Postsecondary row for Alabama 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 240 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.39 is not a growth score. Rank 31 of 44 is not a place score. The 88.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 25-1113 in BLS area 01. 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 240 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.
