Estimated employment: 9,540. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $44,950 to $63,450 in 2025, a span of $18,500. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
