A plus sign marks a lower bound. “Not released” means BLS withheld the estimate; “Not available” means no estimate was provided. Hourly figures come from BLS, without dividing annual pay by assumed work hours.
Estimated employment: 1,750. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.
The middle half of annual wages runs from $43,230 to $59,590 in 2025, a span of $16,360. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
