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 medical and health services managers, the adjustment does not change the leader: New York is first on raw pay and still first once prices are taken into account, at $152,074.
