THE DALLAS SALARY ADVANTAGE
TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION
True, Cox graduates work all over the U.S.
and the world, but many take advantage
of Dallas’ affordable cost of living index,
allowing their salaries to go a long way,
relative to other major markets. For example,
see how a $100,000 salary in Dallas
compares to salaries in other major U.S. cities:
Dallas has one of four regional U.S. patent
& trademark offices (USPTO) due to the
growing output of high-tech innovations.
