What this pays, and what it is worth
- Ohio is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $60,670, ranking 36 of 49 states — about 7.78% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 227 among 494 occupations Ohio publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $60,670 you keep $49,976 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $54,433 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $70,580, since top earners drag the number up.
- Ohio ranks 36 of 49 for healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other, with a median of $60,670 — about 7.78% 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.
- Position 227 of 494 in Ohio places healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other 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.
- Retained pay in Ohio is $49,976 after the full tax stack, from $60,670. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $54,433 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $70,580 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Ohio earn less than $60,670. The published range is $38,850 up to $124,380, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $49,976 take-home in Ohio comes from $60,670. 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 227 of 494.
- One number stands for prices across all of Ohio, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $54,433, the adjusted value of that $60,670 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 227 of 494 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other in Ohio the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $38,850 to $124,380. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $49,976, from $60,670, assumes a single Ohio 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 227 of 494 locally, and the state ranks 36 of 49 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Ohio, so $54,433 — the adjusted value of that $60,670 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 227 of 494 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $70,580, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $38,850 and the top tenth $124,380 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $54,433.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Ohio adds its own income tax on top — which is why $49,976 of this wage survives to your account.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 49 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
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 Ohio is $70,580. 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 ($38,850) and the ninetieth ($124,380) 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?
Ohio'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 $54,433 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $49,976 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Ohio 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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
