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 New York are shown. OEWS May 2025. Sorted by that spread, New York is 17 of 51. A row links to the New York 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 An unpublished percentile or employment count is shown as unpublished rather than replaced with a zero.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: $65,890 is stated as about $65.9K. $97,280 is stated as about $97.3K. $120,900 is stated as about $120.9K. $58,080 is stated as about $58.1K.
