Estimated employment: 341,640. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $27,750 to $36,540 in 2025, a span of $8,790. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
