Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse in the Greenville-Anderson-Greer Metro

The Greenville-Anderson-Greer pay distribution spans from $26,880 at the 10th percentile to $45,460 at the 90th, a 1.7× 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 $29,170 and the 75th at $37,690, so half of Greenville-Anderson-Greer-based farmworkers and laborers, crop, nursery, and greenhouse earn within that middle band.

Metro figures use establishment work location, not worker residence. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Greenville-Anderson-Greer, SC 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 SC estimate, and peer-metro rows provide distinct geographic comparisons. A published median is a benchmark, not a prediction or ceiling for one worker.
