Yeah but in NJ, that's 35k-45k in most other states. Not really worth bragging about. If it was over 100k for NJ, I'd say it was an leading. 75k there just barely pays rent on a small apartment.

60k is okay in some areas, personally I think the average salary should be 85-90k and over 100k where cost of living is much higher.

The entirety of New Jersey isn't just the New York suburbs. Plenty of people live well and even raise family on 70k salaries.
