Method

How the cost-of-living adjustment works

The adjusted column divides each state median by that state's BEA Regional Price Parity (RPP) and multiplies by 100. RPPs measure how much a fixed basket of goods, services and rents costs in one state relative to the national average, so the result restates local pay in national-average dollars.

For cement masons and concrete finishers, that changes the ranking: Hawaii leads on raw pay at $95,890, while Alaska leads once prices are taken into account at $90,818.
