What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Texas pays this job around $44,410 at the midpoint, 30 of 48 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Against other work in Texas, this sits in the middle: 354 of 493 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Cost of living is unremarkable here. From $44,410, tax leaves $37,863, and adjusting for local prices barely moves it — about $38,964 in comparable terms. Averages run higher here, $46,070, since top earners drag the number up.
- For electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers the Texas median is $44,410, ranking 30 of 48 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers ranks 354 of 493 occupations in Texas by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- Because Texas sits close to the national price level, the real-terms figure for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers — median $44,410 — tracks the post-tax figure closely: $37,863 retained, $38,964 adjusted. ⚠️ Neither is a wage; the second describes what the first buys. Mean pay of $46,070 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 Texas earn under $44,410 and half over. The published range runs $32,610 at the tenth percentile to $62,170 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Texas the take-home figure of $37,863, from $44,410, 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 354 of 493 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $38,964 uses one figure for the whole of Texas. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 493 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 354.
- Figures are distribution medians for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Texas, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $32,610 to $62,170; 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 Texas is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $37,863 from $44,410. 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 354 of 493 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $38,964, worked from $44,410, 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 Texas address, on work sitting at 354 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $46,070, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $32,610 at the bottom tenth to $62,170 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. Texas is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $38,964 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $37,863 survives, because Texas levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
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 Texas is $46,070. 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 ($32,610 to $62,170) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Texas rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Texas'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 $38,964 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?
Texas levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $37,863 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.
