High paying jobs in Mayaguez, PR

Every occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Mayaguez, PR. 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.

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.
