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 management analysts, the adjustment does not change the leader: Massachusetts is first on raw pay and still first once prices are taken into account, at $127,386.
