What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for concierges is strong here. Connecticut's middle earner gets $40,550, putting the state 10 of 47 — about 4.11% ahead of the national figure.
- Against 482 occupations Connecticut publishes, concierges lands at 418. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- Connecticut is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $40,550 the take-home is $33,367; in national-average money that behaves like $32,180. The average comes to $43,490, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For concierges, Connecticut sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $40,550, ranking 10 of 47 and running about 4.11% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Within Connecticut, this work ranks 418 of 482 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.
- Take-home for concierges in Connecticut, on $40,550, is $33,367; deflated by the state's price level, $32,180. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $43,490 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of concierges in Connecticut earn under $40,550 and half over. The published range runs $35,040 at the tenth percentile to $57,140 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Connecticut's $33,367, worked from $40,550. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 418 of 482.
- One number stands for prices across all of Connecticut, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $32,180, the adjusted value of that $40,550 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 418 of 482 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for concierges in Connecticut, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $35,040 to $57,140; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- The Connecticut take-home of $33,367, on $40,550 for work ranking 418 of 482 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 418 of 482 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Connecticut, so $32,180 — the adjusted value of that $40,550 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 418 of 482 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 $43,490 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 — $35,040 at the tenth percentile, $57,140 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Connecticut run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $32,180 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Connecticut's own levy, $33,367 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 47 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
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 Connecticut is $43,490. 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 ($35,040 to $57,140) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Connecticut rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $32,180 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $33,367 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 47 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
