Salary range
| Measure | Annual |
|---|---|
| 25th percentile | $43,560 |
| Median (50th percentile) | $54,640 |
| 75th percentile | $67,440 |
| Mean | $56,250 |
The middle half of workers earned from $43,560 to $67,440 a year. Employment size matters too. A field with many workers in a state usually means more openings and more room to move employers without moving states. A small field can pay well but offer fewer ways in.
