What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Nevada pays this job around $29,940 at the midpoint, 26 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Against 485 occupations Nevada publishes, this job lands at 474. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $29,940 you keep $26,237, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $27,054 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $31,970, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For amusement and recreation attendants the Nevada median is $29,940, ranking 26 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Within Nevada, this work ranks 474 of 485 occupations by median pay, in the bottom quartile. The within-state position is the more salient one for anyone weighing this job against alternatives available to them locally.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for amusement and recreation attendants on $29,940 is $26,237. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $27,054 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $31,970 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $29,940 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $24,960 and the ninetieth is $41,440 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $26,237 take-home in Nevada comes from $29,940. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 474 of 485.
- Two cautions on $27,054, the adjusted value of that $29,940 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Nevada. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 474 of 485 locally.
- The Nevada median of $29,940 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $24,960 to $41,440. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $26,237, from $29,940, assumes a single Nevada filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 474 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 26 of 51 for it.
- This $27,054 adjusted figure, worked from $29,940, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 474 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 474 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $31,970 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $24,960 at the tenth percentile, $41,440 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $27,054 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $26,237 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Nevada is $31,970. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($24,960 to $41,440) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Nevada rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Nevada's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $27,054 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Nevada levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $26,237 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
