What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for concierges is strong here. Pennsylvania's middle earner gets $39,560, putting the state 15 of 47 — about 1.57% ahead of the national figure.
- Against 492 occupations Pennsylvania publishes, concierges lands at 418. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- No great distortion either way. Pennsylvania costs about what the country costs, so from $39,560, take-home of $32,752 is worth roughly $33,592 in national money. The average comes to $39,930, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For concierges, Pennsylvania sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $39,560, ranking 15 of 47 and running about 1.57% 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 Pennsylvania, this work ranks 418 of 492 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.
- Price parity in Pennsylvania is near the national base, so for concierges, whose median is $39,560, the adjusted figure of $33,592 differs little from $32,752 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $39,930 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $39,560 as a midpoint for Pennsylvania, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $32,150 and the ninetieth is $46,110 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $32,752 take-home in Pennsylvania comes from $39,560. 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 418 of 492.
- One number stands for prices across all of Pennsylvania, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $33,592, the adjusted value of that $39,560 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 492 in the state.
- The Pennsylvania median of $39,560 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $32,150 to $46,110. 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 $32,752, from $39,560, assumes a single Pennsylvania 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 418 of 492 locally, and the state ranks 15 of 47 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Pennsylvania, so $33,592 — the adjusted value of that $39,560 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 492 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $32,150 at the bottom tenth to $46,110 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Pennsylvania is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $33,592 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Pennsylvania then takes its own share, leaving $32,752.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($32,150 to $46,110) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Pennsylvania rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Pennsylvania'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 $33,592 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $32,752 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Pennsylvania 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.
