  • Average annual salary for network administrators increased by 0.6 percent from $100,580 (2023) to $101,190 (2024)
  • # of people in network administrators roles decreased by 0.3 percent from 322,500 (2023) to 321,580 (2024)
  • Employment per 1,000 people (the number of jobs in the given occupation per 1,000 jobs in the given area) decreased by over 8 percent from 2.22 (2022) to 2.04 (2024)
  • # of vacancies available decreased by 24.5 percent from 7,354 (2022) to 5,552 (2025)
