Excellent universities and the vibrant metropolitan area of Boston make Massachusetts a promising location for project management professionals for the job market as well as the pay. Statewide, every field earns above the national average.

The only lackluster statistics are for computer and information systems managers in Barnstable Town and Springfield, who earn about $96,000 to $99,000, on average.
