Concierges
What the pay figures show
- Two answers for concierges. Best paid: Hawaii, at $60,090. Tax does not change that. Best off: Wyoming, at $48,444 once local prices count. Tax was not what separated them. Rent was.
- Hawaii's $60,090 median for concierges survives the tax adjustment intact, so state income tax is not a differentiator in this occupation's geography. It does not survive price deflation: Wyoming takes the top position at $48,444. Housing is where regional price variation concentrates, which is why the reordering appears at this step and not the previous one.

Where this job actually pays best
- Where you do this job matters enormously. The best state pays roughly twice what the worst does. Prices alone cannot explain a gap that size. Level everything out and the range still runs $27,200 to $48,444.
- Just 49,240 Americans work in this job. Small fields move around more from year to year.
- Not every state reports this one. The figures here cover 47 jurisdictions, and the middle wage across them is $38,950. A state you do not see is one with no published number, not one paying nothing. Of those published, Hawaii pays most.
- Geographic dispersion in concierges is unusually wide: the top state's median is approximately double the bottom's, a spread that price differentials cannot account for. The real-terms range, after tax and price deflation, still runs $27,200 to $48,444 — so the variation reflects genuine differences in local labor markets rather than a nominal illusion.
- 49,240 are employed nationally in concierges — a small occupation, where the state spread above is more sensitive to sample composition than it would be in a large one.
- BLS publishes an occupational median for concierges in 47 jurisdictions, short of the full set. ⚠️ Absence reflects estimate suppression — small samples or disclosure rules — rather than absence of employment, so the state comparison above is over the published subset.

Every state, three ways
Sorted by what the money is actually worth. "Kept" is take-home for a single filer after federal, FICA and state income tax. "Really worth" divides that by the state's own price level, so a dollar in each row buys the same thing. Tap a state to put your own salary into it. States BLS does not publish for this job are absent — that means no published figure, not no work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat the numbers for concierges as a midpoint, not a promise. The national middle is $38,950, which means half of everyone doing this work earns less than that. Where you land depends on how long you have done it, who you do it for, and which city you do it in.
- One filer, no dependants, nothing paid into a pension before tax — that is the household behind every take-home figure for concierges. It is the simplest case on purpose, so the states can be compared against each other rather than against each other's family circumstances. City income taxes are not counted. On that household, Hawaii keeps the most at $47,339.
- One price figure per state stands behind the real-terms numbers for concierges. Inside any state, a big city costs far more than a small town, so this is a fair way to compare states with each other and a poor way to price a specific move. The wage figures and the price figures are also from different years. At the bottom of the range sits Delaware, on $27,200.
- These are distribution medians for concierges, with a national value of $38,950. They describe a midpoint rather than an expected offer, and the within-occupation spread — visible in the tenth and ninetieth percentile figures — is wide enough that a state-level median is a weak predictor for any individual worker.
- The household modeled for concierges is a single filer, standard deduction, no dependants, no pre-tax contributions. Holding the household constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful; it also means the absolute figures overstate liability for most real filers. On that basis Hawaii retains the most, $47,339. Municipal and school-district income taxes are not included in any state.
- Real-terms results for concierges rest on statewide regional price parities, which average over intra-state variation that is itself larger than much of the interstate variation. They support comparison between states and not the pricing of an individual relocation; Delaware anchors the distribution at $27,200. Wage and price series are published on separate cycles and therefore carry different reference periods.
