Estimated employment: 10,250. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $59,490 to $84,070 in 2025, a span of $24,580. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
