What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Nevada pays this job around $81,990 at the midpoint, 18 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 485 occupations Nevada reports, this job comes in at 118 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $81,990 you keep $66,510 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $68,581 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $90,360, since top earners drag the number up.
- For first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers the Nevada median is $81,990, ranking 18 of 51 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.
- First-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers ranks 118 of 485 occupations by median in Nevada, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $66,510 after the full tax stack, from $81,990. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $68,581 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $90,360 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $81,990 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $57,730 and the ninetieth is $130,860 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $66,510 take-home in Nevada comes from $81,990. 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 118 of 485.
- Two cautions on $68,581, the adjusted value of that $81,990 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Nevada. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 118 of 485 locally.
- The Nevada median of $81,990 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $57,730 to $130,860. 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 $66,510, from $81,990, assumes a single Nevada 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 118 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 18 of 51 for it.
- This $68,581 adjusted figure, worked from $81,990, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 118 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 118 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $90,360, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $57,730 at the bottom tenth to $130,860 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $68,581 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $66,510 survives, because Nevada levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 Nevada is $90,360. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($57,730) and the ninetieth ($130,860) 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?
Nevada'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 $68,581 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?
Nevada levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $66,510 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.
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.
