The highest paying employer in our state may not be the company you think.

You’ll see the map is color-coded according to each industry, with lots of energy and healthcare companies dotting the landscape. You’ll likely notice something particularly strange about the map as well: Many of the companies listed are pretty obscure, as opposed to American multinational banks and the tech giants of Silicon Valley.
