    1. I feel like average isn’t very useful for these kinds of maps. A firefighter/cop/teacher/etc are going to have different earnings and cost of living in rural California vs LA metro area.

      The trend indicates that jobs like librarian (which requires a master’s degree) and teacher (which requires a bachelor’s degree) pay more than jobs that don’t require a degree 

      It’s not an apples to apples comparison when certain roles being compared require you to take on debt and others don’t 

    3. How does this average reconcile volunteer or semi-professional fire departments, who only get paid on a per-call basis? Or is this only looking at full time professional departments, or pulling full time employees of any fire service regardless of professional vs volunteer?

    4. Damn, no wonder California was keeping people in prison longer to fight fires for free.

      Are these municipal firefighters? Wild firefighters? Seasonal workers included? Curious.

      I assume these are based upon salary. Where I’m from the perks– primarily pension plan– can effectively increase these numbers at least fifty percent over the course of a career.

      Damn, they make more in FL than in MI and OH? Wonder how and why.
