Methodology
Occupations are the fixed set named in the series, kept only when both the New Hampshire median and the U.S. median are published. A 75th percentile or an employment count that is unpublished stays blank in the table. The article is omitted when fewer than 4 occupations qualify. OEWS May 2025. A comparison of 1.00 matches the U.S. median. Sorted by the Registered Nurses state median when that occupation qualifies, otherwise by the highest median in the table. New Hampshire is 16 of 51. A row links to the New Hampshire 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 An unpublished percentile or employment count is shown as unpublished rather than replaced with a zero.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: $137,550 is stated as about $137.6K. $132,300 is stated as about $132.3K. a comparison of 1.04 is stated as 4 percent. $155,620 is stated as about $155.6K. $38,760 is stated as about $38.8K. a comparison of 1.08 is stated as 8 percent. $35,800 is stated as about $35.8K.
