First-Line Supervisors of Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Workers in the Oklahoma City Metro

BLS metro-level wage data places First-Line Supervisors of Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Workers pay in Oklahoma City, OK at a median of $64,990 per year ($31.25/hr), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared with the national median of $59,320, the metro estimate is +10% above. OEWS reports the difference but does not identify its cause. Approximately 70 first-line supervisors of farming, fishing, and forestry workers are employed across the Oklahoma City MSA in SOC 45-1011.

The Oklahoma City pay distribution spans from $35,730 at the 10th percentile to $85,580 at the 90th, a 2.4× 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 $50,240 and the 75th at $65,100, so half of Oklahoma City-based first-line supervisors of farming, fishing, and forestry workers earn within that middle band.

Metro figures use establishment work location, not worker residence. 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. 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 OK estimate, and peer-metro rows provide distinct geographic comparisons. A published median is a benchmark, not a prediction or ceiling for one worker.
