Estimated employment: 329,590. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $22,820 to $27,520 in 2025, a span of $4,700. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
