What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Nevada pays this job a middle wage of $61,470, 34 of 45 states and about 7.03% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Against other work in Nevada, this sits in the middle: 235 of 485 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Here is where Nevada does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $61,470 you keep $51,571, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $53,177 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $67,180, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Nevada's $61,470 median for industrial engineering technologists and technicians places it 34 of 45 states, about 7.03% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Industrial engineering technologists and technicians ranks 235 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.
- After federal, FICA and Nevada income tax, retained pay for industrial engineering technologists and technicians on $61,470 is $51,571. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $53,177 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 $67,180 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $61,470. The published range is $53,710 up to $80,690, 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 Nevada's $51,571, worked from $61,470. 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 235 of 485.
- Two cautions on $53,177, the adjusted value of that $61,470 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 235 of 485 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for industrial engineering technologists and technicians in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $53,710 to $80,690. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Nevada take-home of $51,571, on $61,470 for work ranking 235 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 235 of 485 in the state.
- This $53,177 adjusted figure, worked from $61,470, 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 235 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 235 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $67,180, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $53,710 and the top tenth $80,690, so most people doing this work in Nevada sit within a fairly tight band.
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 $53,177 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $51,571 survives, because Nevada 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?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 45 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 Nevada is $67,180. 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 ($53,710 to $80,690) 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 $53,177 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 $51,571 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 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
