Estimated employment: 218,470. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $30,750 to $48,720 in 2025, a span of $17,970. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
