High paying construction jobs in Virgin Islands

Every construction occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Virgin Islands. 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.

Local wage estimates are suppressed more often than state ones — BLS withholds any figure too few local employers report — so an occupation missing here simply has no published local estimate.

Ranked among the occupations common enough to employ roughly one in every three thousand workers in Virgin Islands. The rarer ones are real jobs — but a 1,190-person occupation at the top of a list answers a different question than the one most readers are asking.
