Salary Spotlight: Adzuna Reveals the Highest-Paying Counties in the US
James Neave , Head of Data Science at job search engine Adzuna, comments, "Making six figures is not a dream if you know where to look for them. Our Adzuna data shows that there are 83 counties in the US with average advertised salaries surpassing $100,000 , and many of them are scattered in the Midwest. Of the 3,177 counties, Niobrara County from Wyoming and North Carolina's Hyde County have the most lucrative opportunities, paying jobseekers close to $200,000 on average. With some states planning to raise their minimum wages this year, we expect to see an increase in the average pay. Jobseekers who are strapped for cash and are open to relocation can be strategic by applying for jobs in these highest-paying states."

As the data delves deeper into regional job markets, it becomes evident that each state presents unique challenges and opportunities. For example, while jobseekers and remote workers reside everywhere, there's a larger corporate presence in influential states such as New York , California , and Florida .
In the Empire State, ( Norwich ) emerges as the county with the highest salary offerings, with an average advertised salary of $126,843 . , , boasts an average of $97,068 . Other noteworthy counties include ( Brooklyn ), with an average of $92,361 , with an average of $90,476 , and with an average of $89,987 .
The study identifies ( Susanville ) as the highest paid county in California , offering an average salary of $117,711 , making it an attractive destination for job candidates seeking lucrative opportunities. Other desirable counties in California include with an average salary of $114,376 , with an average of $101,058 , with an average of $98,774 , and with an advertised average salary of $98,051 .
Adzuna's data spotlights ( Bristol ) as Florida's top-paying destination, boasting an advertised average salary of $113,600 , which is indicative of the state's promising avenues for professional growth. Following closely behind are at $106,760 , at $103,385 , at $96,000 , and at $88,158 .
" Chenango County's emergence as the county with the highest salary offerings in New York may come as a surprise to some, given the high cost of living in Manhattan and the following assumption of New York City's high average salary. However, while Chenango County will have some of the highest salaries and jobs available for doctors, surgeons, and roles in finance, there are also many lower income roles in this area. Adzuna's data showcases the nature of the state's job market, where high paying opportunities extend beyond metropolitan areas. While New York City does boast an average advertised salary of $97,068 , other noteworthy counties such as Kings County , Schenectady County , and Broome County highlight the diversity of high-paying regions across the state."
