July 15th, 2011
As we continue looking at the average salaries in local areas, we turn to Arkansas. In Arkansas, we seeing an average salary of around $59,000. This is a strong number for a state with such a low cost of living. Like similar areas, salaries have fallen since the recession of 2008. Many people are entering this attractive field, particularly as they get laid off from other jobs. In Arkansas in particularly we are seeing a large number of second career people become an RDH. The RDH salary in Arkansas should settle out, however, close to where it is now. Given this field has a relatively low educational barrier to entry (relative to salary earned) there is always a possibility of the job opportunities becoming increasingly competitive.
