What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Connecticut pays this job a middle wage of $92,260, ranking 12 of 51 states and sitting about 15.44% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 121 among 482 occupations Connecticut publishes pay for.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $92,260 the take-home is $69,411. But Connecticut costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $66,941 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $93,030, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Connecticut's median for first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers is $92,260, about 15.44% above the national figure and 12 of 51 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Position 121 of 482 in Connecticut places first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Connecticut income tax is $69,411 for first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers, from $92,260. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $66,941. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $93,030 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Connecticut earn less than $92,260. The published range is $63,660 up to $123,790, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $69,411 take-home in Connecticut comes from $92,260. 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 121 of 482.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $66,941 uses one figure for the whole of Connecticut. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 482 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 121.
- Reported values are medians; for first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers in Connecticut the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $63,660 to $123,790. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $69,411, from $92,260, assumes a single Connecticut 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 121 of 482 locally, and the state ranks 12 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $66,941, worked from $92,260, 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 Connecticut address, on work sitting at 121 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $63,660 and the top tenth $123,790, so most people doing this work in Connecticut sit within a fairly tight band.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $66,941 of national purchasing power.
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; Connecticut then takes its own share, leaving $69,411.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($63,660 to $123,790) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Connecticut rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $66,941 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $69,411 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
