What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Nevada is 27 of 50 states for this job, with a middle wage of $76,160. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Against other work in Nevada, this sits in the middle: 147 of 485 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $76,160 you keep $62,409, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $64,352 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $71,120, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- Nevada ranks 27 of 50 for first-line supervisors of protective service workers, all other at $76,160. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- First-line supervisors of protective service workers, all other ranks 147 of 485 occupations in Nevada by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for first-line supervisors of protective service workers, all other on $76,160 is $62,409. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $64,352 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $71,120 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $76,160. The published range is $34,990 up to $98,180, 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 Nevada's $62,409, worked from $76,160. 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 147 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $64,352 uses one figure for the whole of Nevada. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 485 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 147.
- Reported values are medians; for first-line supervisors of protective service workers, all other in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $34,990 to $98,180. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Nevada take-home of $62,409, on $76,160 for work ranking 147 of 485 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 147 of 485 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $64,352, worked from $76,160, 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 Nevada address, on work sitting at 147 of 485 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 $71,120 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?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $34,990, the highest tenth $98,180, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Nevada sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $64,352 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $62,409 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
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 $71,120. 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 ($34,990) and the ninetieth ($98,180) 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 $64,352 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 $62,409 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.
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.
