High paying jobs in Glens Falls, NY

Every occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Glens Falls, NY. 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 Glens Falls, NY run 5.1% below the national average (2024), so a Glens Falls, NY salary is worth about 1.05× 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.
