Estimated employment: 6,730. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $59,410 to $99,890 in 2025, a span of $40,480. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
