What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada is among the lower-paying states for glaziers. The middle earner takes $49,490, ranking 34 of 50 states — about 13.3% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Against other work in Nevada, this sits in the middle: 316 of 485 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $49,490 the take-home is $41,945; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $43,251 would nationally. The average comes to $55,990, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Nevada ranks 34 of 50 for glaziers, with a median of $49,490 — about 13.3% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Glaziers ranks 316 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.
- Post-tax income for glaziers in Nevada, on $49,490, is $41,945 — equivalent to $43,251 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $55,990 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $49,490. The published range is $44,170 up to $74,810, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $41,945 take-home in Nevada comes from $49,490. 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 316 of 485.
- Two cautions on $43,251, the adjusted value of that $49,490 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 316 of 485 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for glaziers in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $44,170 to $74,810. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $41,945, from $49,490, 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 316 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 34 of 50 for it.
- This $43,251 adjusted figure, worked from $49,490, 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 316 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 316 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 $55,990, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $44,170 at the bottom tenth to $74,810 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $43,251 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $41,945 of this wage reaches your account, because Nevada takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
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 $55,990. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($44,170 to $74,810) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Nevada rather than a national figure.
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 $43,251 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 $41,945 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.
