What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nebraska is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $75,570, ranking 39 of 51 states — about 5.44% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Within Nebraska this is well-paid work. Of 488 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 122 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $75,570 you keep $59,259 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $65,569 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $76,900, since top earners drag the number up.
- Nebraska ranks 39 of 51 for first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers, with a median of $75,570 — about 5.44% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Ranked against every occupation Nebraska publishes a median for, first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers sits 122 of 488 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Retained pay in Nebraska is $59,259 after the full tax stack, from $75,570. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $65,569 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $76,900 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $75,570 as a midpoint for Nebraska, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $50,440 and the ninetieth is $105,210 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nebraska's $59,259, worked from $75,570. 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 122 of 488.
- One number stands for prices across all of Nebraska, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $65,569, the adjusted value of that $75,570 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 122 of 488 in the state.
- The Nebraska median of $75,570 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $50,440 to $105,210. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Nebraska take-home of $59,259, on $75,570 for work ranking 122 of 488 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 122 of 488 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nebraska, so $65,569 — the adjusted value of that $75,570 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 122 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $50,440 and the top tenth $105,210 — 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. Nebraska is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $65,569 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Nebraska's own levy, $59,259 remains.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($50,440) and the ninetieth ($105,210) 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?
Nebraska'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 $65,569 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 $59,259 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Nebraska 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.
