How to use the results

How are the figures calculated?

Industry figures show average jobs at private employers in 2024 and 2025, including all roles in that industry. County totals are combined for each salary data area. When some county figures are unavailable, changes use only counties with data in both years. Missing data is not counted as zero. Areas with incomplete data are excluded from rankings unless you include them.
