What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Minnesota pays this job a middle wage of $47,720, ranking 8 of 48 states and sitting about 4.08% above the national middle.
- Within Minnesota this is lower-paid work. Of 490 occupations the state publishes figures for, this job ranks 385. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- No great distortion either way. Minnesota costs about what the country costs, so from $47,720, take-home of $38,789 is worth roughly $39,412 in national money. The average comes to $48,500, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Minnesota's median for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers is $47,720, about 4.08% above the national figure and 8 of 48 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Against every occupation Minnesota reports, electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers ranks 385 of 490, 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.
- Price parity in Minnesota is near the national base, so for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers, whose median is $47,720, the adjusted figure of $39,412 differs little from $38,789 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $48,500 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $47,720 as a midpoint for Minnesota, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $38,080 and the ninetieth is $61,000 — 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 Minnesota's $38,789, worked from $47,720. 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 385 of 490.
- One number stands for prices across all of Minnesota, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $39,412, the adjusted value of that $47,720 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 385 of 490 in the state.
- The Minnesota median of $47,720 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $38,080 to $61,000. 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 Minnesota take-home of $38,789, on $47,720 for work ranking 385 of 490 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 385 of 490 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Minnesota, so $39,412 — the adjusted value of that $47,720 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 385 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $38,080 at the tenth percentile, $61,000 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $39,412.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Minnesota's own levy, $38,789 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 48 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($38,080 to $61,000) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Minnesota rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Minnesota'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 $39,412 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 $38,789 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota 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.
