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 Procurement Clerks, that changes the ranking: District of Columbia leads on raw pay at $62,880, while Alabama leads once prices are taken into account at $59,602.
