What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. New Hampshire pays this job a middle wage of $81,020, 44 of 48 states and about 21.36% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 488 occupations New Hampshire reports figures for, this is number 131.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $81,020 the take-home is $65,828. But New Hampshire costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $62,488 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $86,290, because the best-paid pull it up.
- New Hampshire's $81,020 median for electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay places it 44 of 48 states, about 21.36% 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.
- In New Hampshire's occupational distribution, electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay sits at 131 of 488 — 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 after federal, FICA and New Hampshire income tax is $65,828 for electrical and electronics repairers, powerhouse, substation, and relay, from $81,020. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $62,488. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $86,290 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $81,020 as a midpoint for New Hampshire, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $58,470 and the ninetieth is $117,620 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind New Hampshire's $65,828, worked from $81,020. 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 131 of 488.
- Two cautions on $62,488, the adjusted value of that $81,020 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of New Hampshire. 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 131 of 488 locally.
- The New Hampshire median of $81,020 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $58,470 to $117,620. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The New Hampshire take-home of $65,828, on $81,020 for work ranking 131 of 488 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 131 of 488 in the state.
- This $62,488 adjusted figure, worked from $81,020, 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 131 of 488 in the state. The occupation ranks 131 of 488 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 $86,290 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?
The label is broader than the work. From $58,470 at the bottom tenth to $117,620 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. New Hampshire costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $62,488 rather than its face figure.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $65,828 survives, because New Hampshire levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 48 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
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 New Hampshire is $86,290. 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 ($58,470) and the ninetieth ($117,620) 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.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $62,488 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $65,828 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.
