How to use these numbers
The medians here are the middle of what employers actually pay, not the top of a range from a job ad. If an offer in Indiana comes in under the median for your role and metro, that is your opening to negotiate — bring the BLS figure, not a guess. And if a posting hides pay entirely, the per-role guides linked above show what the market rate is before you apply.
