What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for glaziers is on the low side in Texas. The middle earner gets $47,730. That is 39 of 50 states, and about 16.38% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. Glaziers ranks 301 among 493 occupations Texas publishes pay for.
- Cost of living is unremarkable here. From $47,730, tax leaves $40,531, and adjusting for local prices barely moves it — about $41,709 in comparable terms. Here the average runs under the middle, at $47,630.
- For glaziers, Texas sits in the lower band at $47,730, ranking 39 of 50 and trailing the national median by about 16.38%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Position 301 of 493 in Texas places glaziers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Because Texas sits close to the national price level, the real-terms figure for glaziers — median $47,730 — tracks the post-tax figure closely: $40,531 retained, $41,709 adjusted. ⚠️ Neither is a wage; the second describes what the first buys. Mean pay of $47,630 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $47,730 as a midpoint for Texas, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $35,500 and the ninetieth is $59,990 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Texas's $40,531, worked from $47,730. 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 301 of 493.
- Two cautions on $41,709, the adjusted value of that $47,730 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Texas. 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 301 of 493 locally.
- The Texas median of $47,730 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $35,500 to $59,990. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Texas take-home of $40,531, on $47,730 for work ranking 301 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 301 of 493 in the state.
- This $41,709 adjusted figure, worked from $47,730, 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 301 of 493 in the state. The occupation ranks 301 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $35,500 and the top tenth $59,990, so most people doing this work in Texas sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Texas sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $41,709 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $40,531 survives, because Texas levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($35,500 to $59,990) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Texas rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Texas'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 $41,709 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?
Texas levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $40,531 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.
