What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Ohio's middle earner gets $46,970, putting the state 14 of 48 — about 2.44% ahead of the national figure.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 494 occupations Ohio reports figures for, this is number 342.
- Here is where Ohio does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $46,970 you keep $39,345, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $42,854 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $46,010, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- For electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers, Ohio sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $46,970, ranking 14 of 48 and running about 2.44% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- In Ohio's occupational distribution, electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers sits at 342 of 494 — 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.
- After federal, FICA and Ohio income tax, retained pay for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers on $46,970 is $39,345. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $42,854 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $46,010 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $46,970 as a midpoint for Ohio, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $35,840 and the ninetieth is $58,210 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $39,345 take-home in Ohio comes from $46,970. 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 342 of 494.
- One number stands for prices across all of Ohio, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $42,854, the adjusted value of that $46,970 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 342 of 494 in the state.
- The Ohio median of $46,970 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $35,840 to $58,210. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $39,345, from $46,970, assumes a single Ohio 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 342 of 494 locally, and the state ranks 14 of 48 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Ohio, so $42,854 — the adjusted value of that $46,970 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 342 of 494 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $35,840 at the bottom tenth to $58,210 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Ohio is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $42,854 in national terms.
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; Ohio then takes its own share, leaving $39,345.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($35,840 to $58,210) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Ohio rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Ohio'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 $42,854 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 $39,345 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Ohio 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.
