How North Carolina compares

• Against the rest of the country. $57,200 in North Carolina against $59,300 nationally for the same occupation, which puts North Carolina 24th of the 50 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 North Carolina. $57,200 against $47,970, the median across every occupation in the state — 19% above it.
• How much of this work is here. The occupation is about as concentrated here as nationally (1.03× the national share of employment), 22nd of 49 for concentration. Concentration describes where the work is, not how easy it is to be hired.
