Are you curious about the Florida job market and wonder how much the jobs out here pay? Whether you're getting ready to relocate and transfer jobs here, or you are just about to hop into a whole new career field and you're wondering, how much those jobs actually pay. If you already maybe have your mindset on a certain employment or you’re already going to school or really just to have a job offer and you want to make sure that you're getting paid the appropriate amount. Well here, just a few minutes, I'm going to talk about how much jobs pay here in Florida, so stick around.

Alright. So, how much do you should always pay here in Florida? Well, obviously, I don't know what the salary is for every job that's out there. I just went through a few websites to kind of get an idea and share that information with you. One of the great websites that I looked through was payscale.com. They had the average salaries for different types of jobs, so let me go into that for a little bit.

So, if you're looking to be in, an operations manager of some sort, the average pay for operations manager is $60,974. But, it could range anywhere from $41,000 to $98,000. So, that's quite a good bit of money there being an operations manager.

If you're looking to be a project manager or maybe you're already a project manager and curious what the pay is in Florida, the average salary is $72,410. And that could range anywhere from $49,000 to $109,000.

You are a bit of a techie. You are into software and software engineering. The average salary for that is $77,232 which could range anywhere from $58,000 to $105,000 per year.

If you are in human resources, you're a human resource manager, your average salary for that would be $64,866 can range anywhere from $47,000 to $86,000. Again, that's the annual, the average annual salary for HR manager.

For mechanical engineer, the average salary in the State of Florida is $67,296 with that could range anywhere from $53,000 to $93,000 per year.

Now, if you're director of operations, you are going to look at an average salary of $86,575. But, it can go as low as $50,000 a year up to $146,000 a year.

Another awesome website that I browse through was ZipRecruiter.com, gave lots of information about average salary rates and average hourly rates for different job positions. I mean, also let us know that the average national salary in the US is $66,665. The average annual salary in Florida is $51,909 which is almost $25 an hour. So, that's pretty good. Now the average national hourly rate in the US is $20.69 per hour. However, the average hourly rate in Florida is $16.63. So, it is just a little bit below the national average but still pretty good.

Now, if you're looking for cities that have the top paying jobs. Maybe looking to just make sure you're staying on the higher end of the scale. You probably want to look into West Palm Beach, Tampa, Miami, Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. So, those are just some of the few cities that do have the highest paying hourly rates.

If you are maybe just looking to be a waiter, you're into the restaurant business and you just absolutely love it and you want to stick to that, waiters and waitresses average hourly rate in Florida is $13.40 an hour.

If you are in the healthcare industry, maybe let's just say a family physician. The average annual salary for a family physician in Florida is $156,000 per year.

If you like to do front desk work like I did before I got into real estate. I've had many different positions where I worked front desk. The average hourly rate for that here in the state of Florida is $13-14 per hour. And that was really looking at a couple different sites just to kind of see and compare what the different sites had to say, like, indeed.com, glassdoor.com, supercool.com, it did say that the average hourly rate for front desk reception is $13-14 an hour. So, I would assume that's pretty accurate. That's probably close to what I made as a starting pay when I did work front desk. So, that's just tells about right.
