BLS metro-level wage data places Instructional Coordinators pay in Fargo, ND-MN at a median of $80,840 per year ($38.86/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $77,440, Fargo pays +4% above, signaling either concentrated employer demand, a cost-of-living premium, or both. Approximately 150 instructional coordinatorss are employed across the Fargo MSA in SOC 25-9031.

The Fargo pay distribution spans from $49,090 at the 10th percentile to $92,760 at the 90th — a 1.9× 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 $63,510 and the 75th at $81,550, so half of Fargo-based instructional coordinatorss 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 Fargo, ND-MN 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 ND data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
