What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Nevada. The middle earner gets $37,110. That is 48 of 48 states, and about 19.06% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Against 485 occupations Nevada publishes, this job lands at 438. That is the lower quarter. That is the comparison people actually feel, more than any national table.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $37,110 you keep $31,998 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $32,994 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $43,110, since top earners drag the number up.
- For electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers, Nevada sits in the lower band at $37,110, ranking 48 of 48 and trailing the national median by about 19.06%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Within Nevada, this work ranks 438 of 485 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 in Nevada is $31,998 after the full tax stack, from $37,110. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $32,994 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $43,110 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

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 Nevada earn under $37,110 and half over. The published range runs $31,200 at the tenth percentile to $59,260 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nevada's $31,998, worked from $37,110. 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 438 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $32,994 uses one figure for the whole of Nevada. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 485 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 438.
- Figures are distribution medians for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Nevada, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $31,200 to $59,260; 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.
- The Nevada take-home of $31,998, on $37,110 for work ranking 438 of 485 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 438 of 485 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $32,994, worked from $37,110, 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 Nevada address, on work sitting at 438 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $43,110, 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 $31,200 and the top tenth $59,260 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $32,994 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $31,998 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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.
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 Nevada is $43,110. 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 ($31,200) and the ninetieth ($59,260) 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.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Nevada'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 $32,994 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Nevada levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $31,998 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.
