BLS figures put the median pay for human resources managers in Oxnard, CA, at $162,230 a year. It runs 24% above the national median of $130,585 for this occupation — pay here is notably stronger than the U.S. average. The middle 50% land between $116,030 and $199,810 — a 83,780 range that reflects differences in seniority, employer type, and specialization. The average (mean) of $168,860 comes in higher than the median, which usually means a share of high earners is pulling the average up. The catch: Oxnard is roughly in line with the national cost of living (cost index 100 against a 100 baseline), so that headline number buys less than it would elsewhere. On an hourly basis that is about $78.00, useful for comparing contract or part-time offers.

For context, the national median for human resources managers across all U.S. metros in our data is $130,585.
