Cost of living is the BEA regional price parity for all items, where 100 is the national average. Concentration is the BLS location quotient: how much more of the local workforce does this job than the national average, so 2.00× means twice the national share. It is often the reason wages differ — a place that concentrates an occupation has the employers and the competition for it. States where electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment wages are suppressed by BLS for confidentiality are omitted.

Best paying metro areas for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment

The 40 highest-paying metros with a published estimate. BLS suppresses roughly half of all occupation-by-metro cells, so a metro absent here has no local figure rather than a low one.
