Estimated employment: 1,150. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $51,920 to $97,460 in 2025, a span of $45,540. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
