Coaches and Scouts in the Rocky Mount Metro

BLS metro-level wage data places Coaches and Scouts pay in Rocky Mount, NC at a median of $40,360 per year, drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared with the national median of $47,320, the metro estimate is 15% below. OEWS reports the difference but does not identify its cause.

The Rocky Mount pay distribution spans from $23,850 at the 10th percentile to $49,180 at the 90th, a 2.1× observed spread. Differences in specialization, employer, sector, location, credentials, schedule, and experience may all contribute, but OEWS does not isolate their effects. The 25th percentile sits at $32,280 and the 75th at $45,030, so half of Rocky Mount-based coaches and scouts earn within that middle band.

Metro figures use establishment work location, not worker residence. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Rocky Mount, NC covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. OEWS includes straight-time pay, tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses. It excludes employer health and retirement benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, signing bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. The same occupation's national profile, statewide NC estimate, and peer-metro rows provide distinct geographic comparisons. A published median is a benchmark, not a prediction or ceiling for one worker.
