Geographic variation matters as much as the headline median. District of Columbia pays the highest state median at $140,670, which is +48% above the national figure. The top metro is Visalia, CA at $157,490 - metro premiums typically reflect higher cost of living, industry concentration, or specialized employer demand. When using this page for negotiation or career planning, pair the national median with the state and metro rows below, remember that BLS wages exclude benefits, bonuses, and overtime, and revisit after each May OEWS release since percentiles shift with cost-of-living cycles and industry demand.
