Where Paychecks Hit the Jackpot in the US 💸🟩📈

This map shows the median full-time salary across all US states for workers aged 16 and up.

• US Median: $61.7K

• Highest: 🏛️ Washington DC – $103K

• Other top earners: 🏔️ Colorado – $72K, 🌴 California – $70K, 🦅 Alaska – $69.1K, 🗽 New York – $74.2K

• Lowest: 🐊 Florida – $54.3K and parts of the South like MS – $50.1K

I live in New York and I know people that make $100k+ and still struggle to live comfortably. And they only making $100k+ because of the amount of OT they putting in. So basically they live at work.
