Methodology
The spread is the OEWS 75th percentile minus the 25th percentile, divided by the state median, shown as a percent. Both percentiles have to be published. The 5 widest spreads in Indiana are shown. OEWS May 2025. Sorted by that spread, Indiana is 23 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 An unpublished percentile or employment count is shown as unpublished rather than replaced with a zero.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: $45,390 is stated as about $45.4K. $57,080 is stated as about $57.1K. $76,480 is stated as about $76.5K. $132,050 is stated as about $132.1K.
