High paying social service jobs in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL

Every social service occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single social service 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 Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL run 10.9% below the national average (2024), so a Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL salary is worth about 1.12× its face value in national terms.
