What this pays, and what it is worth
- Florida sits in the middle of the pack for industrial production managers. The median is $119,870, ranking 32 of 50 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 493 occupations Florida reports, industrial production managers comes in at 27 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $119,870, tax leaves $93,159 — and because Florida is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $90,050 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $131,000, since top earners drag the number up.
- Florida occupies the middle band for industrial production managers: a median of $119,870, ranking 32 of 50. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Industrial production managers ranks 27 of 493 occupations by median in Florida, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- After tax, $93,159 remains from the Florida median of $119,870 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $90,050 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $131,000 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Florida earn less than $119,870. The published range is $66,250 up to $212,910, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Florida the take-home figure of $93,159, from $119,870, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 27 of 493 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Florida, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $90,050, the adjusted value of that $119,870 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 27 of 493 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for industrial production managers in Florida the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $66,250 to $212,910. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Florida is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $93,159 from $119,870. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 27 of 493 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Florida, so $90,050 — the adjusted value of that $119,870 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 27 of 493 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $131,000 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $66,250 at the bottom tenth to $212,910 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $90,050 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $93,159 of this wage reaches your account, because Florida 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?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 50 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 Florida is $131,000. 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 ($66,250) and the ninetieth ($212,910) 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.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Florida's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $90,050 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Florida levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $93,159 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.
