Sometimes it's not just about finding a well-paying job, but also about the location.
A new report from Career.io shows that pay for the same job can vary from state to state, so the location of a job can really matter, especially if you want to maximize your income.
The report matches pay with location by identifying which jobs in each state pay the highest average salary compared to the national average.
The result is a map of the occupations with the highest earning potential, specific to each U.S. state.
