Estimated employment: 20,870. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $95,130 to $164,730 in 2025, a span of $69,600. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
