Workers in the most lucrative industries who live in one of the 50 cities LendingTree analyzed can expect to earn $900 a month more than the base income they would need to afford a median-priced home in their area, the analysis finds. Architects and engineers are the highest-paid professionals in 19 of the nation\u2019s 50 largest metros. Those professionals make an average of $1,000 more a month than the base income they would need to afford a home in their area.<\/p>\n
