Jobs that pay the biggest premium in Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL

Each occupation's median wage in Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL compared against the national median for the same occupation. Unlike a cost-of-living adjustment — which scales every job in a state by the same constant and so cannot change their order — this genuinely re-ranks, and it shows where Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL pays a real premium. Limited to occupations with at least 1,000 workers in the state.

Cost of living: prices in Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL run 0.6% below the national average (2024), so a Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL salary is worth about 1.01× 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.
