What social workers make

These are the federal survey's 2023 figures for the residual social workers group, where the median was $63,770 and the bottom tenth were near $39,580. That group's more recent median is published as $71,900 but without the top and bottom figures. Named branches differ: mental health and substance abuse social workers have a median of $60,280 and a top tenth of $104,170.
