Salary Survey 2018
Region
To take a closer look at the survey results, respondents were grouped into seven regions.
The region with the largest percentage of high salaries in 2018 is the Pacific and Mountain region, which includes California, Colorado and Washington. In that region, 37.3 percent of respondents make at least $100,000 a year. The New England region – representing Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont – is close behind. More than a third of its respondents (36.6 percent) say they earn six figures.
The South Atlantic region – which comprises Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida – comes in third, with 32.4 percent of its respondents making at least $100,000.
A notable change is that the Mid-Atlantic region, which reported the highest salaries in last year’s salary survey, dropped to fifth in 2018. Less than a third of respondents (30.7 percent) in the region – which comprises New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania – report making more than $100,000.
