Employees' salaries in San Antonio haven't kept pace with the U.S. averages in many of the city's top-paid fields, according to an Axios analysis of Glassdoor data.
How it worked: The analysis reviewed salaries of jobs in 10 industries listed on Glassdoor last year.
By the numbers: Aerospace and defense workers had the highest average salaries in the San Antonio metro area in 2023, earning an average $86,000 annually here — less than the national average of $91,000 for those jobs.
Information technology workers made an average $67,000 in San Antonio last year, well below the U.S. average of nearly $91,000.
The intrigue: Insurance is the only top field where San Antonio workers earn more than the U.S. average.
Locally, insurance workers made about $73,000 last year, above the U.S. average of nearly $68,000.
