What this pays, and what it is worth
- Minnesota is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $53,510, which ranks 16 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 8.98% above the national middle.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 490 occupations Minnesota reports figures for, this is number 329.
- Prices here sit close to the national average, so the adjustment changes little. From $53,510 the take-home is $43,060, which is worth about $43,753 in comparable money. Tax does most of the work here, not cost of living. The average is higher, $56,300, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Minnesota ranks 16 of 51 states publishing a median for first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers, at $53,510 — about 8.98% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- In Minnesota's occupational distribution, first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers sits at 329 of 490 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Minnesota's price level is near the national average, so price deflation is close to neutral for first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers on its $53,510 median: $43,060 retained after tax becomes $43,753 in national-average terms. Where the price adjustment is small, the tax stack is the dominant determinant of the real outcome. The mean of $56,300 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $53,510 as a midpoint for Minnesota, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $38,130 and the ninetieth is $79,820 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $43,060 take-home in Minnesota comes from $53,510. 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 329 of 490.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $43,753 uses one figure for the whole of Minnesota. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 490 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 329.
- The Minnesota median of $53,510 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $38,130 to $79,820. 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 $43,060, from $53,510, assumes a single Minnesota 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 329 of 490 locally, and the state ranks 16 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $43,753, worked from $53,510, 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 Minnesota address, on work sitting at 329 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $56,300 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $38,130 at the bottom tenth to $79,820 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. Minnesota is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $43,753 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 Minnesota's own levy, $43,060 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.
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 Minnesota is $56,300. 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 ($38,130) and the ninetieth ($79,820) 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?
Minnesota'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 $43,753 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 $43,060 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota 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.
