How pay is spread in New Hampshire

By median pay, New Hampshire is number 16 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $33,030 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $126,930. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $39,860 to $81,780. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $71,360, 28% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 683,290 jobs counted here are 0.4% 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 New Hampshire are Office and Administrative Support (85,060 jobs, 13%), Sales and Related (70,390 jobs, 10%), Food Preparation and Serving Related (57,550 jobs, 9%) and Management (53,560 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 Metal Workers and Plastic Workers, All Other (11.3 times the national share), Cooks, Short Order (3.8 times the national share) and Mechanical Engineering Technologists and Technicians (3.6 times the national share). The table on this page lists 637 occupations; for 8 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 149 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 88 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 28 pay less and 33 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Physicians, All Other ($361,300 here, $265,930 nationally), Self-Enrichment Teachers ($59,880 here, $46,800 nationally) and Cooks, Fast Food ($38,590 here, $30,890 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for Lawyers ($120,810 here, $159,670 nationally), Dining Room and Cafeteria Attendants and Bartender Helpers ($26,290 here, $33,980 nationally) and Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists ($64,570 here, $78,760 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.
