Now, let's take a look at how wages and salaries varied by county. While the figures aren't provided specifically in the search results, it's common knowledge that the capital region, including Tallinn and Harju County, tends to have the highest average wages. On the other hand, counties such as Valga and Saare have generally lower averages.
