Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for Limited-Service Restaurants employees in Nebraska is $19,093/yr, versus a national average of $20,857/yr. Nebraska pays below the national average for this industry, common in lower cost-of-living states or where the industry has a smaller, less specialized local workforce.

Profitability data is only available at the national level because the IRS Statistics of Income program does not publish state-level margin breakdowns.
