The District of Columbia employs 370 aerospace workers who make an average salary of $111,280, making the US capital by far the most financially attractive location to work in this industry.
The next highest average salary in any state is California, but aerospace workers there get by on only $66,606.
Any state, however, is a better place to work in aerospace than South Dakota, where the average salary is $38,833.33, which is just barely above the federal poverty line for a family of eight.
I know all of this thanks to the new state-by-state statistics breakdown on the Aerospace Industries Association's web site. The AIA itself is located just across the river from DC in Virginia, where the average salary is $62,522. Perhaps it's time for the AIA staff to request an office move.
