Estimated employment: 4,440. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $42,420 to $58,740 in 2025, a span of $16,320. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
