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 First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers, that changes the ranking: Alaska leads on raw pay at $98,110, while North Dakota leads once prices are taken into account at $101,845.
