Methodology
Rows are the 5 occupations on the 25-occupation hiring list with the highest Indiana OEWS median, limited to occupations that also publish a 75th percentile. OEWS May 2025. A comparison of 1.00 matches the U.S. median. Sorted by the leading median, Indiana is 19 of 51. A row links to the Indiana metro page with the highest public market difficulty score for that occupation when one is published, and otherwise to the occupation page on the hiring grid. An unpublished percentile or employment count is shown as unpublished rather than replaced with a zero. The wages are annual OEWS figures. They are not job listings and they are not an employer's current offer. Read the comparison beside the dollar figures: a high state wage can still sit under the national median for that occupation, and a lower state wage can still sit above it. Rounded figures in the prose: $144,290 is stated as about $144.3K. a comparison of 1.02 is stated as 2 percent. $140,910 is stated as about $140.9K. $159,930 is stated as about $159.9K. $97,020 is stated as about $97.0K. a comparison of 0.97 is stated as 3 percent.
