From NY1.com:
PS: I had seen something last year re: the average salary of Manhattanites at about $112,000. Perhaps that was just Manhattan workers whereas this relates to Manhattan residents. Anyway, one would live an EXTREMELY MEAGER existence on $73,000 in NYC.
Here's the article:
Manhattan Has Highest Average Salary Of Any County In The U.S.
August 08, 2005
If you work in Manhattan, the next time you complain about your paycheck you may want to stop your griping.
According to figures from the 2003 Census, Manhattan has the highest average salary of anywhere in the country - an average of $73,000 a year.
The number, of course, is skewed by the large salaries of Wall Street bankers and other high earners.
Brooklyn and Queens also made the list of America's top 30 counties with the most companies. According to the Daily News, businesses in Queens pay an average of more than $36,000, while in Brooklyn it's more than $32,000.
The Bronx and Staten Island didn't make the top 30.
If you're wondering where the lowest average salary is, it's Riverside County, California, east of Los Angeles, where the average workers makes $29,000.>
