I have a degree in engineering and want to know if the pay matches the cost of living.
What are the average salaries like in Worcester?
1 Answer
The median annual salary in Worcester is $67,000. For professional fields such as engineering, salaries often exceed this median, reflecting the presence of several large employers and a growing tech and biotech sector. When evaluating a job offer, compare the salary to the $1,800 average rent and the overall cost‑of‑living index of 95 to gauge affordability. You can also look at job boards that filter by industry and salary range, and consult the city’s labor market reports for more detailed sector‑specific data. Keep in mind that benefits, commute time, and taxes also affect take‑home pay.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Worcester.
