 Here's where workers can earn the most.[/b]

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - New York County, better known as Manhattan, has the best-paid workers among the 50 U.S. counties with the most businesses, according to a new report from the Census Bureau.

The release, which covered data through March 12, 2003, reported that the average annual payroll per employee in Manhattan during 2003 was $73,032. That was 14.6 percent higher than the next highest paid county, Silicon Valley's Santa Clara County, where the average worker earned $63,704 a year.

Los Angeles workers were paid much less than those in New York, earning just $38,715. Still, the total payroll there exceeded $147 billion, which just nosed out Manhattan for first place among counties. Los Angeles made up for low wages with sheer numbers; the county employed more than 3.8 million workers, 1.8 million more than Manhattan and nearly 1.5 million more than second place Cook County, Chicago.
