Estimated employment: 10,260. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $43,740 to $61,870 in 2025, a span of $18,130. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
