What changed, BLS OEWS 2019–2025

May 2019 → May 2025
  • The published national median for Social and Community Service Managers moved from $67,150 in May 2019 to $80,390 in May 2025 (+19.7%).
  • Across the 749 occupations priced in both releases under SOC-2018, the median occupation changed +24.5%.
  • Social and Community Service Managers sits -4.7 pp near that median, nominal dollars, no price deflator applied.

Social and Community Service Managers (SOC 11-9151) has a national median of $80,390 per year in the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics May 2025 release. The published 10th-to-90th-percentile boundaries run from $53,150 to $132,260, and the published mean is $88,880. Those summary statistics describe the estimated distribution; their difference alone does not identify its cause. OEWS estimates 209,330 jobs in covered establishments nationally. WageDex has published rows for 53 state or territory areas and 518 metropolitan or nonmetropolitan wage areas. The published national median moved from $78,240 in the May 2024 OEWS release to $80,390 in May 2025, a rise of $2,150 (+2.7%). This is a change between two BLS survey estimates, not an inflation-adjusted same-worker pay raise.

BLS Employment Projections forecast a +6.4% change in employment from 2024 to 2034, which we classify as faster than average relative to the all-occupations baseline of 3.1%. About 18,600 openings are projected per year from growth, occupational transfers, and labor-force exits. BLS assigns Bachelor's degree as typical education needed for entry and less than 5 years as the typical related-work-experience category. BLS does not publish a separate occupation-specific fatality and injury rate for this role in the current release. The safety panel below shows its broad Management Occupations SOC-group context and is not an occupation-level measurement or ranking.

Geographic variation matters as much as the headline median. District of Columbia pays the highest state median at $106,700, which is +33% above the national figure. The highest published metropolitan-area median in this ranking is Lansing-East Lansing, MI at $110,570. The observed difference does not identify its cause. Pair the national median with the state and metropolitan-area rows below while keeping the geography and statistic consistent. OEWS includes tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses, but not employer benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, or nonproduction bonuses.

Across the 11 releases WageDex holds for this occupation, the published national median went from $63,530 in May 2015 to $80,390 in May 2025. Within the SOC-2018 classification (2019–2025), the like-for-like change averages +3% per year in nominal terms. Within the same SOC classification, estimated employment went from 156,460 in May 2019 to 209,330 in May 2025.

Each figure is a separate BLS survey estimate, so a change between releases reflects the estimated occupation-wide median in each year. It is not the raise any individual worker received, and it is not adjusted for inflation. Years where BLS did not publish an annual median for this occupation are omitted rather than filled in. This span also crosses a classification change: releases before May 2019 use the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification and later releases use the 2018 SOC, so figures either side of that boundary are not strictly like-for-like. Headline change rates on this page use only the same-classification subset.

Same SOC major group

Other detailed occupations in SOC major group 11 (Management Occupations) - category peers, not a pay match.

Showing 5 of 36 detailed occupations BLS assigns to this SOC major group.

Nationwide occupations with similar pay or employment scale

Two OEWS peer sets outside this SOC major group (Management Occupations). Same-category cards above stay inside the group; these neighborhoods are cross-group nearest neighbors on national median pay ($80,390 here) and reported employment (209,330 jobs here).

Peers are nearest-neighbor matches on BLS OEWS national median annual wage and reported employment. Employment peers exclude occupations already listed in the pay column so the two link sets stay distinct.
