These are Cincinnati’s highest-paying jobs

CINCINNATI (Cincinnati Business Courier) – Neurologist is the highest-paying job in the Greater Cincinnati region.

That’s according to a Business Journals analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data that showed medical professionals take the top seven jobs, and nine of the top 10, when it comes to pay. The average local pay for neurologists is $617,100. The only non-medical profession ranked in the top 10 for pay in Cincinnati is chief executive, with average pay of $250,170.

While those jobs rank at the very top locally, the pay picture has rapidly evolved since the Covid-19 pandemic. Labor shortages, a turnover tsunami and evolving employee-employer dynamics have led to a salary surge and a host of roles joining the six-figure ranks.

Salaries soared during the economic recovery from the pandemic, and that surge pushed several new jobs over the $100,000 per-year threshold.

Locally, 69 different professions pay an average of more than $100,000 per year. Those jobs range from environmental engineers ($100,400) to dentists ($180,490).
