Education Administrators, All Other
Education Administrators, All Other (SOC 11-9039) earn a median $95,200 a year ($45.77 an hour) in the United States, with 55,130 employed as of May 2025; the highest-paying state is District of Columbia.
What education administrators, all other do
Education administrators, all other, is a residual category for managers of educational programs and agencies who do not fit the separately listed education administrator occupations. These are the preschool and childcare administrators, the kindergarten through secondary administrators, and the postsecondary administrators, which are each counted on their own. Neither the SOC definition nor O*NET gives a task list for this heading, so only its boundary with the neighboring education administrator occupations is clear. The wage and employment figures for the group cover every administrator placed here. O*NET lists titles such as apprenticeship consultant, area supervisor, and community health nursing educational director for this group. Because it is a catch-all, there are no standard tasks and no single entry route. Duties vary with the program being run.
Also called: Apprenticeship Consultant, Apprenticeship Representative, Area Supervisor, Attache, Community Health Nursing Educational Director.

BLS published a median annual wage of $90,560 for education administrators, all other in May 2021 and $95,200 in May 2025, with employment of 49,970 and 55,130.
| Release | Median annual | Median hourly | Employment |
|---|---|---|---|

BLS does not design OEWS as a time series: each release pools three years of samples, and occupational classifications, area definitions and estimation methods change between releases, so a difference between two releases is not a measure of change over time. The figures are shown as published, side by side, and nothing is computed from them. See how often OEWS is updated.
