What this pays, and what it is worth
- Florida is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $39,090, ranking 43 of 48 states — about 14.74% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Measured against other jobs in Florida, this one sits low: 403 of 493 occupations with published pay, in the bottom quarter.
- Florida is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $39,090 the take-home is $33,589; in national-average money that behaves like $32,468. The average comes to $42,790, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Florida ranks 43 of 48 for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers, with a median of $39,090 — about 14.74% 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.
- Electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers occupies position 403 of 493 in Florida's occupational wage distribution, in the bottom quartile. National ranking and local ranking answer different questions and frequently disagree; this is the one a resident experiences.
- Take-home for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Florida, on $39,090, is $33,589; deflated by the state's price level, $32,468. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $42,790 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Florida earn less than $39,090. The published range is $30,470 up to $59,410, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $33,589 take-home in Florida comes from $39,090. 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 403 of 493.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $32,468 uses one figure for the whole of Florida. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 493 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 403.
- Reported values are medians; for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Florida the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $30,470 to $59,410. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $33,589, from $39,090, assumes a single Florida 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 403 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 43 of 48 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $32,468, worked from $39,090, 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 Florida address, on work sitting at 403 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $42,790, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $30,470 and the top tenth $59,410 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Florida run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $32,468 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $33,589 survives, because Florida 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?
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 Florida is $42,790. 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 ($30,470) and the ninetieth ($59,410) 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?
Florida's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $32,468 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?
Florida levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $33,589 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.
