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 stockers and order fillers, that changes the ranking: Washington leads on raw pay at $44,620, while Wyoming leads once prices are taken into account at $42,701.
