Estimated employment: 111,660. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $61,390 to $73,720 in 2025, a span of $12,330. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
