Jobs that pay the biggest premium in Racine-Mount Pleasant, WI

Each occupation's median wage in Racine-Mount Pleasant, WI 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 Racine-Mount Pleasant, WI pays a real premium. Limited to occupations with at least 1,000 workers in the state.

Cost of living: prices in Racine-Mount Pleasant, WI run 4.0% below the national average (2024), so a Racine-Mount Pleasant, WI salary is worth about 1.04× 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.
