## Market Insights — June 2026

*Based on 24438 postings analyzed in June 2026 • Updated June 1, 2026*

Pay across North Carolina openings runs 31% below the sitewide median, with a median of $58K against $83K nationally. The gap tracks the dominance of Hospitals & Health Care, which accounts for nearly 60% of all postings and typically offers lower clinical and support wages than tech or professional services roles elsewhere. A $25K absolute gap separates the local median from the national benchmark, compressing earnings for roles that would command premiums in higher-wage markets. Remote flexibility remains minimal at roughly 3%, reinforcing the in-person nature of the state's healthcare-heavy labor pool.
