What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Arizona pays glaziers around $56,560 at the midpoint, 26 of 50 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 491 occupations Arizona reports figures for, this is number 260.
- No great distortion either way. Arizona costs about what the country costs, so from $56,560, take-home of $46,614 is worth roughly $46,105 in national money. The average lands at $55,660, below the middle of the range.
- For glaziers the Arizona median is $56,560, ranking 26 of 50 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.
- In Arizona's occupational distribution, glaziers sits at 260 of 491 — 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.
- Price parity in Arizona is near the national base, so for glaziers, whose median is $56,560, the adjusted figure of $46,105 differs little from $46,614 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $55,660 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Arizona earn less than $56,560. The published range is $44,020 up to $70,480, 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 Arizona's $46,614, worked from $56,560. 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 260 of 491.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $46,105 uses one figure for the whole of Arizona. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 491 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 260.
- Reported values are medians; for glaziers in Arizona the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $44,020 to $70,480. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Arizona take-home of $46,614, on $56,560 for work ranking 260 of 491 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 260 of 491 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $46,105, worked from $56,560, 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 Arizona address, on work sitting at 260 of 491 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $44,020 at the bottom tenth to $70,480 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Arizona run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $46,105 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
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 Arizona's own levy, $46,614 remains.
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.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($44,020 to $70,480) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Arizona rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Arizona's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $46,105 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $46,614 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Arizona 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.
