How pay is spread

The middle half of this agency's employees earn between $56,253 and $125,000, a ratio of 2.22 between the two quartiles. State government as a whole sits at 1.80, so pay here is stretched across a wider range than average, usually a sign of several distinct job families sharing one payroll line.
