What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Connecticut pays this job around $45,080 at the midpoint, 26 of 48 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Against 482 occupations Connecticut publishes, this job lands at 393. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $45,080 the take-home is $36,623. But Connecticut costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $35,320 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $47,810, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers the Connecticut median is $45,080, ranking 26 of 48 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Within Connecticut, this work ranks 393 of 482 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.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Connecticut income tax is $36,623 for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers, from $45,080. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $35,320. ⚠️ 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 $47,810 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $45,080 as a midpoint for Connecticut, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $35,520 and the ninetieth is $63,020 — 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 Connecticut's $36,623, worked from $45,080. 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 393 of 482.
- Two cautions on $35,320, the adjusted value of that $45,080 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Connecticut. 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 393 of 482 locally.
- The Connecticut median of $45,080 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $35,520 to $63,020. 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 Connecticut take-home of $36,623, on $45,080 for work ranking 393 of 482 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 393 of 482 in the state.
- This $35,320 adjusted figure, worked from $45,080, 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 393 of 482 in the state. The occupation ranks 393 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $47,810, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $35,520 and the top tenth $63,020, so most people doing this work in Connecticut sit within a fairly tight band.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Connecticut costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $35,320 rather than its face figure.
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; Connecticut then takes its own share, leaving $36,623.
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 Connecticut is $47,810. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($35,520 to $63,020) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Connecticut rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $35,320 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $36,623 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
