How pay is spread in New Jersey

By median pay, New Jersey is number 9 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $34,450 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $142,750. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $39,400 to $96,720. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $78,040, 33% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 4,285,720 jobs counted here are 2.8% 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 Jersey are Office and Administrative Support (536,650 jobs, 13%), Transportation and Material Moving (441,900 jobs, 10%), Sales and Related (360,940 jobs, 8%) and Food Preparation and Serving Related (316,770 jobs, 7%). Some occupations are far more common here than elsewhere. Set against their share of all jobs in the country, the most concentrated are Therapists, All Other (11.4 times the national share), Packers and Packagers, Hand (4.6 times the national share) and Automotive and Watercraft Service Attendants (3.9 times the national share). The table on this page lists 749 occupations; for 11 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 404 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 312 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 46 pay less and 46 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Structural Iron and Steel Workers ($113,220 here, $62,780 nationally), Chiropractors ($134,990 here, $79,200 nationally) and General and Operations Managers ($173,690 here, $105,770 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for General Internal Medicine Physicians ($89,990 here, $256,560 nationally), Psychiatrists ($194,070 here, $281,870 nationally) and Tax Preparers ($43,420 here, $54,920 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.
