What jobs pay
Here are estimates of the levels of employment and salary (median, starting and experienced) for 704 job titles in the Long Island, New York City and Westchester/Hudson Valley regions, according to a survey from the New York State Department of Labor.
Data, based on a multi-year survey of about 52,000 establishments, are not available for some jobs in some regions because the amount of information gathered by the state did not reach the Labor Department's threshold. For more information on how the statistics were compiled, click here.
