Estimated employment: 6,540. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $37,040 to $49,950 in 2025, a span of $12,910. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
