Editorial commentary

What the numbers say

About 4,660 Financial and Investment Analysts worked in the Detroit metro in 2024, making this a mid-size market for the occupation rather than a minor one.

The median annual wage came in at $98,180, which runs about 8.6% above the Michigan median of $90,400. Against the national figure of $101,220, Detroit sits roughly 3% below, a gap that is real but not dramatic. Analysts here are paid close to the US center of gravity, with a modest pull from the state's financial sector concentrated in metro Detroit.

The spread between the bottom and top of the pay range is worth noting. At the 10th percentile, analysts earned $63,340. At the 90th, they earned $137,950. Top earners in the metro make a little over twice what those starting out do. That kind of range usually reflects differences in job titles, years of experience, and the type of firm, whether that's a bank, an insurance company, a corporate treasury team, or a smaller investment shop.

The mean wage of $106,490 runs about $8,300 above the median. That gap tells us a smaller group of senior analysts pull the average up, but the effect is less pronounced here than at the national level, where the mean-to-median gap is wider.
