What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Utah is 31 of 50 states for this job, with a middle wage of $41,530. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Within Utah this is lower-paid work. Of 487 occupations the state publishes figures for, this job ranks 393. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Here is where Utah does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $41,530 you keep $33,701, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $35,474 would elsewhere. The average is lower, $40,410, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- Utah ranks 31 of 50 for interviewers, except eligibility and loan at $41,530. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Against every occupation Utah reports, interviewers, except eligibility and loan ranks 393 of 487, in the lowest quartile of the state's distribution. That position is set by the local labor market and is independent of how the state compares nationally for this work.
- After federal, FICA and Utah income tax, retained pay for interviewers, except eligibility and loan on $41,530 is $33,701. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $35,474 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 $40,410 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $41,530 as a midpoint for Utah, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $28,080 and the ninetieth is $51,750 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $33,701 take-home in Utah comes from $41,530. 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 393 of 487.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $35,474 uses one figure for the whole of Utah. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 487 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 393.
- The Utah median of $41,530 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $28,080 to $51,750. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $33,701, from $41,530, assumes a single Utah 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 393 of 487 locally, and the state ranks 31 of 50 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $35,474, worked from $41,530, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Utah address, on work sitting at 393 of 487 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $28,080 at the tenth percentile, $51,750 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Utah sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $35,474 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
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 Utah adds its own income tax on top — which is why $33,701 of this wage survives to your account.
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 ($28,080 to $51,750) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Utah rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Utah'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 $35,474 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 $33,701 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Utah 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
