The spread across this occupation is wide. Workers at the 10th percentile earned $49,360 in 2024, while those at the 90th earned $125,280. Top earners made about 2.5 times what workers near the bottom did. That kind of range usually reflects real differences in scope, job title, and how senior someone is. An operations coordinator at a regional firm and a senior business analyst at a large financial institution both land inside this occupation code.

The average wage of $84,550 sits above the median of $78,590. A smaller group of higher earners pulls the average up, which means most workers land closer to the median or below it than the average alone would suggest.

BLS projects average growth for this occupation nationally through 2034, with a projected rate of 3%. Nebraska's 2,370 workers in the field give the state a meaningful base, though the projection covers the national picture, not Nebraska specifically.
