What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Vermont's middle earner gets $48,830, putting the state 3 of 48 — about 6.5% ahead of the national figure.
- Against other work in Vermont, this sits in the middle: 335 of 453 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Vermont is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $48,830 the take-home is $40,035; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $41,429 would nationally. The average comes to $49,910, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers, Vermont sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $48,830, ranking 3 of 48 and running about 6.5% 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.
- Electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers ranks 335 of 453 occupations in Vermont 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.
- Post-tax income for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Vermont, on $48,830, is $40,035 — equivalent to $41,429 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 $49,910 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Vermont earn less than $48,830. The published range is $38,420 up to $58,460, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $40,035 take-home in Vermont comes from $48,830. 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 335 of 453.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $41,429 uses one figure for the whole of Vermont. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 453 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 335.
- Reported values are medians; for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers in Vermont the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $38,420 to $58,460. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $40,035, from $48,830, assumes a single Vermont 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 335 of 453 locally, and the state ranks 3 of 48 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $41,429, worked from $48,830, 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 Vermont address, on work sitting at 335 of 453 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $38,420 at the bottom tenth to $58,460 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 $41,429.
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 Vermont adds its own income tax on top — which is why $40,035 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 ($38,420 to $58,460) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Vermont rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Vermont'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 $41,429 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 $40,035 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Vermont 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.
