See highest paying hourly jobs in my area

How close can I easily come to seeing all hourly job offers in my area sorted by hourly earnings? (Obv not saying there aren't other considerations, but I want to consider them in order of pay)

Go on Indeed, enter your zip code (assuming US), sort by salary. It's gonna be a lot of C-suite jobs and medical doctor positions.
- In my experience Indeed is a very poor source of information. Picking the name of your city will invariably select all instances of that city name on the planet, making the quality of the result suspect if not outright misleading.
  Source: I live in Perth, scattered across 17 cities in 7 countries.
  
  You fool! You've doxxed yourself!
  
  Indeed is very accurate in my field
- I can't find a sorting option but I had been on an intro page when I'd checked before posting so I couldn't even select a minimum hourly pay, sorry, def a stupid question. Thank you!
- Tons of forklift driver and equipment operator positions on there. I got certs and shit, sill not getting hired.
  
  Bud, if you got hired, you'd have to delete this account, so I think you really need to ask yourself what is most important in life.
its going to be mostly professional that requires significant degree with experience, or "c-suite shilles
Is it a thing in some jurisdictions to have like a master list of available jobs? Like 100% employment. Or universal basic income. Different narratives same shit. Or I just misunderstood something you said. I'm not agin it.
I doubt (and am unaware) of any such database. If you are trying to figure out what type of work you want to apply for, is encourage you to reach out and call people who are doing jobs you can see yourself doing. Ask for an informational interview. Most people (in my field) are happy to chat with others who are interested and are usually very open about what areas have the best pay/balance/freedom/room for growth.
Setting aside the question of data availability, do job offers even have a strong association to post codes or even specific cities or regions anymore? On one end, some jobs are definitely location-based, such as in-home hospice work. In the middle would be jobs open to an entire area, such as construction worker. And at the opposite end are remote jobs which anyone in the country can apply for, and that's only due to HR not wanting to deal with employment laws in foreign countries; fully-remote software jobs can be like this.
