High paying construction jobs in Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT

Every construction occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single construction job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT run 6.9% above the national average (2024), so a Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT salary is worth about 0.94× its face value in national terms.
