SalaryExpert.com reports that salaries for Electronics Engineers in New Jersey generally surpass those for Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Civil Engineers, Computer LAN/WAN Administrators, and many other fields.

Job growth is fueling incomes for electrical and electronics engineers that are now surpassing the six-figure threshold. Engineers involved in design and development are seeing the greatest increase in their salaries, with the Mid-Atlantic region (including New Jersey) being one of the best, now averaging $100,193 a year.
