What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $49,620, ranking 26 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 485 occupations Nevada reports figures for, this is number 313.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $49,620 you keep $42,050, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $43,359 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $55,680, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Nevada occupies the middle band for health technologists and technicians, all other: a median of $49,620, ranking 26 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- In Nevada's occupational distribution, health technologists and technicians, all other sits at 313 of 485 — 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.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for health technologists and technicians, all other on $49,620 is $42,050. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $43,359 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 $55,680 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of health technologists and technicians, all other in Nevada earn under $49,620 and half over. The published range runs $38,720 at the tenth percentile to $76,770 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nevada's $42,050, worked from $49,620. 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 313 of 485.
- Two cautions on $43,359, the adjusted value of that $49,620 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 313 of 485 locally.
- Figures are distribution medians for health technologists and technicians, all other in Nevada, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $38,720 to $76,770; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- The Nevada take-home of $42,050, on $49,620 for work ranking 313 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 313 of 485 in the state.
- This $43,359 adjusted figure, worked from $49,620, 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 313 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 313 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 $55,680, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $38,720 at the bottom tenth to $76,770 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 Nevada sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $43,359 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $42,050 survives, because Nevada levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
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 $55,680. 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 ($38,720) and the ninetieth ($76,770) 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 $43,359 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 $42,050 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
