What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Georgia pays this job a middle wage of $43,410, 33 of 48 states and about 5.32% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Georgia this is lower-paid work. Of 492 occupations the state publishes figures for, this job ranks 372. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Georgia is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $43,410 the take-home is $35,493; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $36,704 would nationally. The average comes to $46,020, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Georgia's $43,410 median for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers places it 33 of 48 states, about 5.32% 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.
- Against every occupation Georgia reports, electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers ranks 372 of 492, in the lowest quartile of the state's distribution. That position is set by the local labor market and is independent of how the state compares nationally for this work.
- Post-tax income for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Georgia, on $43,410, is $35,493 — equivalent to $36,704 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 $46,020 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Georgia earn under $43,410 and half over. The published range runs $34,790 at the tenth percentile to $62,520 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Georgia the take-home figure of $35,493, from $43,410, 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 372 of 492 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $36,704, the adjusted value of that $43,410 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Georgia. 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 372 of 492 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Georgia, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $34,790 to $62,520; 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.
- Take-home for Georgia is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $35,493 from $43,410. 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 372 of 492 locally.
- This $36,704 adjusted figure, worked from $43,410, 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 372 of 492 in the state. The occupation ranks 372 of 492 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 $46,020 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $34,790 at the tenth percentile, $62,520 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Georgia sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $36,704 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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; Georgia then takes its own share, leaving $35,493.
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 Georgia is $46,020. 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 ($34,790 to $62,520) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Georgia rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Georgia'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 $36,704 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 $35,493 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Georgia 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.
