Nominal pay is only half the comparison: prices in Georgia sit at 96.3 against a national 100, so the gap in what the money buys is different from the gap in the salary.

It is 0.77 times the median household income of $77,353. A household often has more than one earner, so a single salary at this level goes further than the ratio alone suggests.

Prices in Georgia run at 96.3 against a national average of 100, with rents at 88.7, so $59,180 here buys about what $61,458 buys at national average prices.

The top tenth earn $64,820 a year or more. The 10th-percentile wage is $44,620.

Experience, specialty, employer and the part of Georgia someone works in all move a wage inside that range; the survey reports the spread, not the reason for it.

The survey counted 420 of these jobs in Georgia for May 2025.

That makes the occupation 3% more concentrated here than in the country as a whole. It counts wage and salary jobs, so the self-employed are outside it.
