Business Operations Specialists salary in Vermont

Vermont's median wage for Business Operations Specialists came in at $67,160 in 2024, about 18% below the national median of $82,135. That gap is worth sitting with: it is not a rounding difference, it is roughly $15,000 a year.

The spread within the state tells a similar story. The lowest-paid 10% of these workers earned around $44,860. The top 10% reached $109,480. That is a range of about $65,000 between the bottom and the top of the field in a single state. Job title, industry, and how long someone has been doing the work all drive that kind of gap.

Vermont's cost-of-living index sits at 102, almost exactly at the national average. So the nominal pay gap does not compress much after adjusting for what the money actually buys. A Business Operations Specialist earning $67,160 in Vermont gets roughly the same purchasing power as someone earning $65,800 in a state at the national baseline. The 18% deficit against the national median stays close to intact in real terms.

BLS projects this occupation to grow 3% between 2024 and 2034, which falls in the average category nationally. Vermont's 2,860 workers in this group is a small pool by comparison to larger states, so even modest hiring activity can move local conditions faster than the national figure suggests.
