What This Means for Travel Agents in Alabama

According to BLS OEWS state estimates, Alabama ranks #32 of 51 states and territories for Travel Agents pay, the middle tier (63rd percentile) nationally. Travel Agents working in Alabama earn a median salary of $47,640, which is 5% below the national median of $50,160. OEWS reports the difference but does not identify its cause. The reported wage distribution runs from $38,910 at the 10th percentile to $63,240 at the 90th. OEWS does not separate how much of that spread comes from experience, specialization, employer, industry, schedule, or local market differences.

This page captures the Travel Agents labor market inside Alabama using BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics state estimates from the May 2025 release. Median annual pay lands at $47,640 ($22.90/hr per hour), while the state employs roughly 380 workers in this SOC code (41-3041). Relative to the national median of $50,160, the state estimate is 5% below. Explaining that difference would require separate evidence on industry, employer, prices, and worker mix.

Within Alabama, the full pay distribution is wider than the median alone suggests. Workers at the 10th percentile earn $38,910, the 25th earns $44,790, the 75th reaches $57,410, and the 90th hits $63,240. The upper boundary is roughly 1.6× the lower boundary. These bands combine workers across experience levels, credentials, employers, industries, schedules, and specialties; the percentile table does not isolate any one factor's effect.

Use this state-level view as one layer in your research stack, not the full picture. Drill into the specific BLS local wage area within Alabama where the job is located. A state estimate can differ substantially from a local-area estimate; this table does not establish why. Pair the wage here with state-specific cost of living (rent, taxes, energy, groceries) to see how far the paycheck actually goes. OEWS includes tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses. It excludes employer benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, and nonproduction bonuses, so compare those items separately when reviewing an offer.
