High paying jobs in Providence-Warwick, RI-MA

Every occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Providence-Warwick, RI-MA. 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 Providence-Warwick, RI-MA run 1.8% above the national average (2024), so a Providence-Warwick, RI-MA salary is worth about 0.98× 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.
