Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, 2025. These are wages actually paid across all employers in the state — a different measurement from the advertised rates above, which is why the two numbers rarely match. Travel work with per diem and overtime typically sits above the state median.
