Estimated employment: 137,930. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $29,830 to $47,370 in 2025, a span of $17,540. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
