Located just 30 miles northwest of Detroit, our township is a serene haven for outdoor enthusiasts, while also being a strategic point close to a range of urban amenities. With a population of approximately 43,000, the influx from nearby metropolitan areas has bolstered our local economy and, in turn, the demand for nursing professionals. Based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, registered nurses in Michigan earn a mean annual wage of around $76,610 with a median wage of about $74,810. Here in Commerce Township, estimates suggest that our nursing salaries hover between $73,000 and $80,000 annually.

Sometimes smaller communities offer the best nursing experience. Commerce Township proved that to me.

The nursing job market in our township is characterized by a strong demand and a growing need for skilled nurses over the next few years. NurseRecruiter estimates that we will require approximately 400 new nurses annually, spurred by an aging population and the continued expansion of healthcare facilities. Currently, around 800 nurses are actively employed here, reflecting a meaningful presence in our healthcare sector. Travel nursing opportunities are relatively vibrant in the region, as many facilities experience seasonal fluctuations, particularly during the summer months when our community attracts tourists. Per diem positions also see significant demand, providing flexibility for many workers in this field. Notably, major employers include the nearby Beaumont Health, which has invested heavily in local infrastructure, creating a steady stream of job openings. When comparing ourselves with neighboring cities like Novi or West Bloomfield, we find that while our salaries and opportunities remain competitive, our smaller community vibe and outdoor lifestyle offer a different pace and quality of life that appeals to many nursing professionals seeking a balanced lifestyle.
