What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Nevada pays this job a middle wage of $74,360, 48 of 48 states and about 27.82% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 157 among 485 occupations Nevada publishes pay for.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $74,360 the take-home is $61,142; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $63,046 would nationally. The average comes to $92,200, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Nevada's $74,360 median for electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay places it 48 of 48 states, about 27.82% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Position 157 of 485 in Nevada places electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay 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.
- Post-tax income for electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay in Nevada, on $74,360, is $61,142 — equivalent to $63,046 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $92,200 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $74,360. The published range is $72,440 up to $141,620, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Nevada the take-home figure of $61,142, from $74,360, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 157 of 485 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $63,046, the adjusted value of that $74,360 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Nevada. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 157 of 485 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $72,440 to $141,620. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Nevada is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $61,142 from $74,360. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 157 of 485 locally.
- This $63,046 adjusted figure, worked from $74,360, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 157 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 157 of 485 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 $92,200 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $72,440 and the top tenth $141,620 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Nevada sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $63,046 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $61,142 of this wage reaches your account, because Nevada takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 48 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 Nevada is $92,200. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($72,440) and the ninetieth ($141,620) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Nevada'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 $63,046 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Nevada levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $61,142 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
