High paying jobs in Evansville, IN

Every occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Evansville, IN. The percentile range matters more than the median on its own: it shows what the bottom and top of each field actually earn, which a single average hides.

Cost of living: prices in Evansville, IN run 8.5% below the national average (2024), so a Evansville, IN salary is worth about 1.09× its face value in national terms. That scales every wage here by the same factor — it changes what the numbers mean, not their order.

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.
