BLS metro-level wage data places Audio and Video Technicians pay in Oklahoma City, OK at a median of $48,410 per year ($23.27/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $58,100, Oklahoma City pays 17% below, which typically tracks with a lower local cost of living or smaller specialized-employer cluster. Approximately 290 audio and video technicianss are employed across the Oklahoma City MSA in SOC 27-4011.

The Oklahoma City pay distribution spans from $37,140 at the 10th percentile to $80,440 at the 90th — a 2.2× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro. The 25th percentile sits at $41,600 and the 75th at $62,340, so half of Oklahoma City-based audio and video technicianss earn within that middle band.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Oklahoma City, OK covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide OK data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
