Estimated employment: 6,770. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $48,860 to $79,610 in 2025, a span of $30,750. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
