Estimated employment: 2,200. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $29,850 to $37,470 in 2025, a span of $7,620. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
