What this pays, and what it is worth
- Minnesota is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $80,220, which ranks 12 of 50 states with published figures. That is about 8.27% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 150 among 490 occupations Minnesota publishes pay for.
- Prices here sit close to the national average, so the adjustment changes little. From $80,220 the take-home is $61,333, which is worth about $62,320 in comparable money. Tax does most of the work here, not cost of living. The average is lower, $79,710, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- Minnesota ranks 12 of 50 states publishing a median for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment, at $80,220 — about 8.27% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Position 150 of 490 in Minnesota places electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Minnesota's price level is near the national average, so price deflation is close to neutral for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment on its $80,220 median: $61,333 retained after tax becomes $62,320 in national-average terms. Where the price adjustment is small, the tax stack is the dominant determinant of the real outcome. The mean of $79,710 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in Minnesota earn under $80,220 and half over. The published range runs $60,590 at the tenth percentile to $100,610 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $61,333 take-home in Minnesota comes from $80,220. 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 150 of 490.
- One number stands for prices across all of Minnesota, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $62,320, the adjusted value of that $80,220 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 150 of 490 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment in Minnesota, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $60,590 to $100,610; 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.
- Retained pay of $61,333, from $80,220, assumes a single Minnesota 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 150 of 490 locally, and the state ranks 12 of 50 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Minnesota, so $62,320 — the adjusted value of that $80,220 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 150 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $60,590 at the tenth percentile, $100,610 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Minnesota sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $62,320 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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 Minnesota's own levy, $61,333 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 50 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($60,590 to $100,610) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Minnesota rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Minnesota'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 $62,320 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 $61,333 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota 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.
