While salaries for software developers remain hot in California, they’ve stayed cold in North Dakota.

In the following analysis, Fixr sheds light on federal data to provide a snapshot of software development wages in each state.

The median pay for developers in the United States is $93,350 per year—more than twofold the annual wage for all workers. Annual pay for the position ranges from $64,980 in North Dakota to $119,180 in California.

The field of software development requires expertise in computer programs, including applications on both mobile devices and desktop computers, and significantly contributes to the advancement of technical systems and networks, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Software developers include two primary categories, according to the BLS: Applications developers earned median annual wage of $90,060 in 2012, while systems developers took home $99,000 per year. The profession will grow 22 percent between 2012 and 2022, and add 222,600 jobs to the U.S. economy.
