Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI was 2.4% below the U.S. median for Special Education Teachers, All Other. It ranked 53 of 107 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Special Education Teachers, All Other median says in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Special Education Teachers, All Other median in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI at $74,740 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 25-2059 and BLS area 24340.
BLS lists 510 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 $72,240 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI's Special Education Teachers, All Other median is 2.4% below the U.S. Special Education Teachers, All Other median of $76,580 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 25-2059 with area 24340
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 25-2059 and area 24340. SOC 25-2059 names Special Education Teachers, All Other. Area 24340 names Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.

Like-for-like rank
Where Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI sits for Special Education Teachers, All Other
Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI ranks 53 of 107 among metro areas with a published annual median for Special Education Teachers, All Other. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 53 of 107 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.
50. Santa Cruz-Watsonville, CA has a Special Education Teachers, All Other median of $75,710 per year, 130 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 6.09.
51. Salisbury, MD has a Special Education Teachers, All Other median of $75,450 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 5.68.

Pay leaders
Where Special Education Teachers, All Other medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 25-2059, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Salinas, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $112,900 per year. Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI sits at $74,740 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Special Education Teachers, All Other 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. Salinas, CA has a Special Education Teachers, All Other median of $112,900 per year, or $38,160 above Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. BLS lists 200 jobs there, compared with 510 in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. The location quotient is 4.89.
2. Vallejo, CA has a Special Education Teachers, All Other median of $110,000 per year, or $35,260 above Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. BLS lists 110 jobs there, compared with 510 in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. The location quotient is 3.34.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Special Education Teachers, All Other jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Special Education Teachers, All Other in this same-source set, at 4,230 jobs. Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI has 510. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 4,230 estimated Special Education Teachers, All Other jobs, a gap of 3,720 jobs from Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. Its median is $109,600 per year, or $34,860 above Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. Its location quotient is 3.09.

Local-share leaders
Where Special Education Teachers, All Other takes the largest share of local jobs
Valdosta, GA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 10.57. Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI has 3.93. 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 Special Education Teachers, All Other 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. Valdosta, GA has a location quotient of 10.57, a gap of 6.64 from Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. BLS lists 120 Special Education Teachers, All Other jobs and a median of $81,700 per year, or $6,960 above Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI.

Job scale and share
How common Special Education Teachers, All Other is in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI
BLS lists 510 Special Education Teachers, All Other jobs in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. It also lists 0.86 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 3.93. A value of 1 means Special Education Teachers, All Other 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.
Local job mix
Special Education Teachers, All Other beside other roles in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI
The all-occupations median in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI is $47,570 per year. The Special Education Teachers, All Other median is $74,740 per year.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI. 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 Special Education Teachers, All Other. 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.

Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI table, at 19,540 jobs. Special Education Teachers, All Other has 510 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 598,260. 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 Special Education Teachers, All Other's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 19,540 jobs in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI, a gap of 19,030 from Special Education Teachers, All Other. Its median is $39,120 per year, or $35,620 below Special Education Teachers, All Other. Its location quotient is 3.61.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI role table, at $101,720 per year. Special Education Teachers, All Other has $74,740 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,570 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 $101,720 per year in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI, or $26,980 above Special Education Teachers, All Other. BLS lists 10,880 jobs, compared with 510 for Special Education Teachers, All Other. Its location quotient is 0.81.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $83,920 per year in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI, or $9,180 above Special Education Teachers, All Other. BLS lists 13,740 jobs, compared with 510 for Special Education Teachers, All Other. Its location quotient is 1.06.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI role table, at 3.61. Special Education Teachers, All Other has 3.93. 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 Special Education Teachers, All Other with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 3.61 in Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI, a gap of 0.32 from Special Education Teachers, All Other. BLS lists 19,540 jobs and a median of $39,120 per year, or $35,620 below Special Education Teachers, All Other.

Price-level view
What $74,740 may mean after the Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI is 95.5. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 4.5% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $74,740 Special Education Teachers, All Other median by 95.5 divided by 100. The result is $78,224 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 86.6. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 93.8. Other services are 99.6. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI row
The employment RSE for this Special Education Teachers, All Other row is 4.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.1%. 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 510 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $72,240 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Special Education Teachers, All Other. It uses a Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI 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 $74,740 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.
Limits
What the Special Education Teachers, All Other row for Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI 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 510 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 3.93 is not a growth score. Rank 53 of 107 is not a place score. The 95.5 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 25-2059 in BLS area 24340. 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 510 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.
