San Diegans working in tech industries are getting the biggest paychecks in the city on average, according to 2023 Glassdoor data.
Between the lines: San Diego salaries are higher than the national average across most industries, which is expected in one of the country's most expensive cities.
Yes, but: None of the average salaries listed were six figures.
- Last year, residents needed to make more than $240,000 a year to afford the mortgage on a median-priced home in the metro area, per an analysis from Redfin.
Of note: Salaries in most industries, from real estate to food service, were only within a few thousand dollars of the national average.
- Human resources and health care were the exceptions at more than $10,000 above the U.S. average.
