The typical worker in Washington, D.C. earns $91,540 a year, far more than in any state. Among states, Massachusetts leads at $63,590, followed closely by Washington.
At the other end, the typical worker in Mississippi earns $40,120.
These are medians across all occupations: half of workers earn more, half earn less. Living costs also vary widely, so higher pay doesn't always mean more buying power.
