What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Mississippi pays this job a middle wage of $43,270, 34 of 48 states and about 5.63% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 486 occupations Mississippi reports figures for, this is number 303.
- Mississippi is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $43,270 the take-home is $35,309; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $40,449 would nationally. The average lands at $43,080, below the middle of the range.
- Mississippi's $43,270 median for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers places it 34 of 48 states, about 5.63% 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 Mississippi's occupational distribution, electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers sits at 303 of 486 — 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.
- Post-tax income for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Mississippi, on $43,270, is $35,309 — equivalent to $40,449 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 $43,080 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Mississippi earn less than $43,270. The published range is $28,750 up to $59,280, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $35,309 take-home in Mississippi comes from $43,270. 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 303 of 486.
- One number stands for prices across all of Mississippi, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $40,449, the adjusted value of that $43,270 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 303 of 486 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Mississippi the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $28,750 to $59,280. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $35,309, from $43,270, assumes a single Mississippi 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 303 of 486 locally, and the state ranks 34 of 48 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Mississippi, so $40,449 — the adjusted value of that $43,270 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 303 of 486 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $28,750 at the bottom tenth to $59,280 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $40,449.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Mississippi adds its own income tax on top — which is why $35,309 of this wage survives to your account.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($28,750 to $59,280) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Mississippi rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Mississippi'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 $40,449 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 $35,309 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Mississippi 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.
