About This Data
Wage data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) May 2025 estimates. See the official OEWS tables. BLS publishes estimates by metro and nonmetropolitan area rather than by county; figures on this page reflect the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA area, which includes Skamania County.
Hourly wages are approximated using a standard 2,080-hour work year. A "+" marks a lower bound: the wage is at least the displayed amount. Values without a "+" are published point estimates. An estimate can exceed a reporting threshold without being capped. See the BLS definitions of wages and percentiles.
