What this pays, and what it is worth
- Connecticut is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $130,570, which ranks 13 of 48 states with published figures. That is about 1.08% above the national middle.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Connecticut. It ranks 33 out of 482 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Connecticut is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $130,570 the take-home is $93,926; in national-average money that behaves like $90,585. The average comes to $130,840, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Connecticut ranks 13 of 48 states publishing a median for information security analysts, at $130,570 — about 1.08% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Within Connecticut, information security analysts ranks 33 of 482 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- Take-home for information security analysts in Connecticut, on $130,570, is $93,926; deflated by the state's price level, $90,585. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $130,840 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of information security analysts in Connecticut earn under $130,570 and half over. The published range runs $79,780 at the tenth percentile to $175,590 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 Connecticut's $93,926, worked from $130,570. 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 33 of 482.
- One number stands for prices across all of Connecticut, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $90,585, the adjusted value of that $130,570 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 33 of 482 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for information security analysts in Connecticut, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $79,780 to $175,590; 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 Connecticut take-home of $93,926, on $130,570 for work ranking 33 of 482 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 33 of 482 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Connecticut, so $90,585 — the adjusted value of that $130,570 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 33 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $79,780 and the top tenth $175,590 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Connecticut run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $90,585 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Connecticut's own levy, $93,926 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 48 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($79,780) and the ninetieth ($175,590) 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?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $90,585 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $93,926 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
