Three states are home to pockets of booming wage growth, a new study found.

Florida, California and Nevada are home to the five cities with the fastest-growing income in the nation, according to a study of 2024 wage trends in cities with at least 250,000 people by personal finance site SmartAsset. The study factored inflation into each income calculation.

“In many U.S. cities, median household income has outpaced inflation by a wide margin, offsetting the impact of rising costs,” the study noted. “In others, however, residents are falling far enough behind to intensify the squeeze on household budgets.”

The study, published Thursday, found that residents of Enterprise, Nevada, saw the biggest jump in income at an estimated 18 percent. The Las Vegas suburb’s median wage grew from $93,905 in 2023 to $111,128 in 2024.

The next four cities were located in California, Nevada and Florida.

Wages were up in Anaheim 15.8 percent year-on-year, followed by 12.4 percent in Enterprise, Nevada, 12.2 percent in Tampa, and 11.8 percent in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Nationally, wage growth hovered around 4 and 5 percent in 2024, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, making Enterprise’s 2024 figures more than triple the countrywide rate.

The city’s outsized wage growth has a lot to do with the diversification of work in and around Las Vegas. Whereas gambling made up around 30 percent of jobs in the area in 2006, that number is now around 20 percent, according to an April analysis by Nevada Real Estate Group.

Higher-paying jobs in healthcare, software and supply-chain management have filled the gap and boosted income in the area, the group noted.

The growth has been so explosive in tech-related jobs that Nevada was named the fastest-growing tech job market in the nation in 2026 by nonprofit CompTIA.

Indeed, the Las Vegas metro area, which includes Enterprise, saw its job market grow by 2.9 percent year-on-year in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, the national average showed no growth from June 2025 to June 2026.

Nationally, wage growth has declined steadily over the past four years. During that time, wages peaked at 6.7 percent in July 2022 and have since fallen to 3.6 percent in June, according to the latest data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
