What Are the Highest Paying Jobs in Every U.S. State: Report
Sometimes, it’s not just about finding a job that pays well, it’s all about location.
A new report from Career.io shows that compensation for the same job can vary from state to state, so where a job is located can really matter, especially if you’re trying to maximize your earnings.
The report matches pay to location by figuring out which jobs yield the highest average salary in each state compared to the national average.
The result is a map of the jobs with the highest earning potential specific to every U.S. state.
