Estimated employment: 8,630. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $50,400 to $73,910 in 2025, a span of $23,510. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
