Geographic variation matters as much as the headline median. Washington pays the highest state median at $63,550, which is +29% above the national figure. The top metro is San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA at $70,400 - metro premiums typically reflect higher cost of living, industry concentration, or specialized employer demand.
