Source: BLS OEWS, 2025 · Ranges are 25th–75th percentile of reported wages for the occupation code · All workers, regardless of gender.

Women are 68% of community and social service occupations nationally, and earn 97¢ for every dollar men earn (U.S. Census ACS 2024; earnings full-time year-round). A market-based target is computed the same way regardless of gender, and that is the point.

More community and social service occupations

Child, Family, and School Social Workers Clergy Community and Social Service Specialists, All Other Community Health Workers Counselors, All Other Directors, Religious Activities and Education Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors Health Education Specialists Healthcare Social Workers Marriage and Family Therapists

National salary data is the starting point. Your career isn’t average.

That is what the occupation pays. Four questions — your situation, your level, your city, and what you earn now — and Págame shows you where you stand against it, with the gap in dollars. No account, and no résumé required.
