What this pays, and what it is worth
- Georgia is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $68,470, ranking 35 of 50 states — about 7.59% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 492 occupations Georgia reports figures for, this is number 168.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $68,470 you keep $54,181 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $56,030 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $68,040.
- Georgia ranks 35 of 50 for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment, with a median of $68,470 — about 7.59% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- In Georgia's occupational distribution, electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment sits at 168 of 492 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Retained pay in Georgia is $54,181 after the full tax stack, from $68,470. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $56,030 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $68,040 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Georgia earn less than $68,470. The published range is $48,830 up to $85,160, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Georgia's $54,181, worked from $68,470. 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 168 of 492.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $56,030 uses one figure for the whole of Georgia. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 492 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 168.
- Reported values are medians; for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in Georgia the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $48,830 to $85,160. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Georgia take-home of $54,181, on $68,470 for work ranking 168 of 492 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 168 of 492 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $56,030, worked from $68,470, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Georgia address, on work sitting at 168 of 492 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $48,830 at the tenth percentile, $85,160 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Georgia is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $56,030 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; Georgia then takes its own share, leaving $54,181.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($48,830 to $85,160) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Georgia rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Georgia'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 $56,030 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 $54,181 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Georgia 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
