How Connecticut compares

• Against the rest of the country. $175,490 in Connecticut against $171,270 nationally for the same occupation, which puts Connecticut 13th of the 51 jurisdictions that released an estimate. Neither figure is adjusted for cost of living, so a higher median does not by itself mean more money left over.
• Against other work in Connecticut. $175,490 against $59,690, the median across every occupation in the state — 194% above it.
• How much of this work is here. The occupation is much more concentrated here than nationally (2.07× the national share of employment), 3rd of 49 for concentration. Concentration describes where the work is, not how easy it is to be hired.

How people get into this work

What the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports as typical for entry nationally. Typical is a measurement of the people already doing the work, not a rule: some enter with less and some with more.

What people study to get here, and where in Connecticut

Fields the federal CIP-to-SOC crosswalk associates with this occupation, ordered by how many credentials U.S. colleges conferred in each — a measure of how many people take a route, never of how good it is. Studying any of these does not lead only here, and this occupation is entered from other fields too.

This lists colleges that reported conferring credentials in this field to the federal IPEDS completions collection, in both 2022-23 and 2023-24. It does not confirm that any of them is currently admitting students to the program, and a college can appear here after deciding to close it. Confirm with the institution before it affects where you apply.
