High paying teaching and library jobs in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX

Every teaching and library occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single teaching and library job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX run 1.9% below the national average (2024), so a Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX salary is worth about 1.02× its face value in national terms. That scales every wage here by the same factor — it changes what the numbers mean, not their order.

Local wage estimates are suppressed more often than state ones — BLS withholds any figure too few local employers report — so an occupation missing here simply has no published local estimate.
