Hiring in the U.S., region by region
Every state is its own labor market, with its own salaries, employment rules and talent pool. These regional guides group states with similar economies to give you a first overview of where you are hiring.
Where are you hiring?
Each guide covers the regional economy, the industries that drive it, typical salaries and the employment rules that apply.
What changes from one state to the next
Employment rules
Pay transparency, non-compete limits, paid leave and termination rules are set state by state, and some cities add their own. A job offer that is standard in Texas can be non-compliant in California or New York.
Salaries and labor costs
The same role can pay very differently from one metro area to another. Benchmarking against the local market, not the national average, avoids overpaying or losing candidates.
Talent and industry clusters
Talent concentrates where industries cluster: life sciences in Boston and New Jersey, manufacturing in the Midwest and Southeast, energy in Texas, technology on the West Coast.
