High paying office and admin jobs in Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO

Every office and admin occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single office and admin job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO run 5.8% above the national average (2024), so a Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO salary is worth about 0.95× 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.
