BLS publishes estimates by metro and nonmetropolitan area rather than by county; figures on this page reflect the Yakima, WA area, which includes Yakima County.
Hourly wages are approximated using a standard 2,080-hour work year. A "+" marks a top-coded estimate, where BLS caps the series at $239,200 and the true value is at least that much; figures above that without a "+" are published values.
