High paying jobs in Macon-Bibb County, GA

Every occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Macon-Bibb County, GA. 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 Macon-Bibb County, GA run 11.5% below the national average (2024), so a Macon-Bibb County, GA salary is worth about 1.13× 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.
