The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently released data on average salaries and wages across industries and metropolitan areas. These are the cities that pay their residents the most -- where you're more likely to make more money doing the same job. (Of course, keep in mind, those cities may also have a higher cost of living) Within each city, certain industries stand out as being particularly lucrative, and we have highlighted those as well. All percentages are relative to the national average; for example, Seattle's +7% means that Seattle residents make 7% more than the average national salary.
