Methodology
Figures are computed from live job postings collected daily from Northwest Arkansas employer career sites (Walmart, Tyson Foods, J.B. Hunt, hospitals, city governments, school districts, and dozens more). Active postings and salary medians reflect the latest daily snapshot of the month (2026-07-31); new postings are summed across the month. Salaries are annualized from advertised ranges (hourly × 2,080) with implausible values excluded. Postings without disclosed pay are excluded from salary statistics.
