Library and Archives Assisting programs in California
21 schools in California teach this, at certificate or associate level. The Department of Education publishes earnings for none of them, so the figures below are what the occupation itself pays.
What this work pays in California
Library Technicians in California earn a median of $53,260 a year across 7,190 jobs. That is what the occupation pays everyone in it — not what graduates of any one program below earned.

A dash under earnings or debt means the U.S. Department of Education has not published a figure for that program — it withholds any median computed from too few graduates, which covers about four of every five programs. It never means zero, and it says nothing about whether the program is any good. Where a figure is shown, the number of graduates behind it is shown with it.
Email me when these figures change
The U.S. Department of Education publishes new cost, debt and earnings figures once a year, and every number on this page changes at once. One email when that happens for Library and Archives Assisting — nothing else, and nothing in between.
