BLS metro-level wage data places Coaches and Scouts pay in North Georgia nonmetropolitan area at a median of $42,190 per year, drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $47,320, North Georgia nonmetropolitan area pays 11% below, which typically tracks with a lower local cost of living or smaller specialized-employer cluster. Approximately 160 coaches and scoutss are employed across the North Georgia nonmetropolitan area MSA in SOC 27-2022.

The North Georgia nonmetropolitan area pay distribution spans from $24,820 at the 10th percentile to $67,470 at the 90th — a 2.7× 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 $31,340 and the 75th at $59,260, so half of North Georgia nonmetropolitan area-based coaches and scoutss 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 North Georgia nonmetropolitan area 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 GA data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
