What this pays, and what it is worth
- Florida sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $48,510, ranking 32 of 50 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Against other work in Florida, this sits in the middle: 301 of 493 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Florida is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $48,510 the take-home is $41,158; in national-average money that behaves like $39,784. The average comes to $49,790, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Florida occupies the middle band for information and record clerks, all other: a median of $48,510, 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.
- Information and record clerks, all other ranks 301 of 493 occupations in Florida 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.
- Take-home for information and record clerks, all other in Florida, on $48,510, is $41,158; deflated by the state's price level, $39,784. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $49,790 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $48,510 as a midpoint for Florida, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $37,110 and the ninetieth is $63,340 — 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 Florida's $41,158, worked from $48,510. 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 $39,784, the adjusted value of that $48,510 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Florida. 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 Florida median of $48,510 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $37,110 to $63,340. 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 Florida take-home of $41,158, on $48,510 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 $39,784 adjusted figure, worked from $48,510, 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?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $37,110 at the tenth percentile, $63,340 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Florida run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $39,784 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $41,158 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?
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 ($37,110 to $63,340) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Florida rather than a national figure.
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 $39,784 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 $41,158 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.
