Median posted pay appears when at least 20 postings in the area list pay. It describes the open jobs at the employers we read, which lean toward higher-paying technology, finance and health roles, so it runs well above the official wage and is not the typical wage in the area. The official wage is the Bureau of Labor Statistics median for all workers; compare like jobs on each area's page. Download the metro table (CSV)
