Estimated employment: 6,350. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $37,330 to $54,930 in 2025, a span of $17,600. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
