US City With Highest Salaries
Residents of metropolitan Washington DC enjoy the highest average household income in the country. That rate is currently a little north of 85,000 dollars.
In addition, it is the only city in the top 52 largest metropolitan areas surveyed that had a consistent or modest increase in income for 2009. The only other city that held its ground and didn’t lose traction was San Antonio.
This speaks volumes by pointing out just how widespread this economic recession has been. No region has emerged totally unscathed.
Much of the income stability in the DC area stems from the large number of government and related employers that make up the majority of employer sector.
Cities that have fared the worst include Detroit, Orlando and Cleveland according to reports by the US Census Bureau. Incomes have fallen up to 10 % in these areas.
