Estimated employment: 3,250. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $33,420 to $44,870 in 2025, a span of $11,450. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
