What this pays, and what it is worth
- Michigan is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $80,430, which ranks 11 of 50 states with published figures. That is about 5.27% above the national middle.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 493 occupations Michigan reports, this job comes in at 116 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $80,430 you keep $62,245 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $66,089 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $79,260.
- Michigan ranks 11 of 50 states publishing a median for first-line supervisors of protective service workers, all other, at $80,430 — about 5.27% 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.
- First-line supervisors of protective service workers, all other ranks 116 of 493 occupations by median in Michigan, 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 Michigan is $62,245 after the full tax stack, from $80,430. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $66,089 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $79,260 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Michigan earn less than $80,430. The published range is $44,010 up to $103,290, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Michigan's $62,245, worked from $80,430. 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 116 of 493.
- One number stands for prices across all of Michigan, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $66,089, the adjusted value of that $80,430 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 116 of 493 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for first-line supervisors of protective service workers, all other in Michigan the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $44,010 to $103,290. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Michigan take-home of $62,245, on $80,430 for work ranking 116 of 493 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 116 of 493 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Michigan, so $66,089 — the adjusted value of that $80,430 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 116 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $44,010 at the bottom tenth to $103,290 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Michigan sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $66,089 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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 Michigan's own levy, $62,245 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 50 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($44,010) and the ninetieth ($103,290) 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?
Michigan'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 $66,089 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 $62,245 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Michigan 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
