Pay
Advertised pay in Tennessee
The band covers the middle 80% of advertised starting salaries: one in ten starts below $50,000 and one in ten above $145,643.
Why the gap: salaried professional jobs are the ones most likely to be advertised with an annual figure, and they pay more than the workforce as a whole. Hourly jobs are counted separately, below.
