How pay is spread in Florida

By median pay, Florida is number 37 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $30,010 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $114,550. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $36,290 to $75,410. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $64,670, 35% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 9,929,860 jobs counted here are 6.4% of all jobs in the national figures.

The kinds of work

Adding up the occupations with a published job count, the largest fields of work in Florida are Office and Administrative Support (1,258,200 jobs, 13%), Sales and Related (1,055,000 jobs, 11%), Food Preparation and Serving Related (1,010,640 jobs, 10%) and Transportation and Material Moving (811,090 jobs, 8%). Some occupations are far more common here than elsewhere. Set against their share of all jobs in the country, the most concentrated are Motorboat Mechanics and Service Technicians (3.2 times the national share), Helpers--Roofers (3.2 times the national share) and Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other (2.9 times the national share). The table on this page lists 790 occupations; for 8 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 515 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 50 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 400 pay less and 65 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Barbers ($49,410 here, $38,210 nationally), Opticians, Dispensing ($58,850 here, $47,260 nationally) and Judges, Magistrate Judges, and Magistrates ($186,040 here, $153,990 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for Fashion Designers ($43,020 here, $80,960 nationally), Emergency Medicine Physicians ($204,990 here, $335,550 nationally) and Natural Sciences Managers ($112,220 here, $167,220 nationally). A gap in pay is not a gap in living standard: prices, housing costs and taxes differ between states, and these statistics do not adjust for them.
