What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Vermont's middle earner gets $49,480, putting the state 10 of 50 — about 7.75% ahead of the national figure.
- Against other work in Vermont, this sits in the middle: 324 of 453 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Vermont is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $49,480 the take-home is $40,536; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $41,947 would nationally. The average comes to $49,690, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- For interviewers, except eligibility and loan, Vermont sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $49,480, ranking 10 of 50 and running about 7.75% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Interviewers, except eligibility and loan ranks 324 of 453 occupations in Vermont 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.
- Post-tax income for interviewers, except eligibility and loan in Vermont, on $49,480, is $40,536 — equivalent to $41,947 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $49,690 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of interviewers, except eligibility and loan in Vermont earn under $49,480 and half over. The published range runs $39,540 at the tenth percentile to $59,980 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 Vermont's $40,536, worked from $49,480. 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 324 of 453.
- One number stands for prices across all of Vermont, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $41,947, the adjusted value of that $49,480 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 324 of 453 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for interviewers, except eligibility and loan in Vermont, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $39,540 to $59,980; 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 Vermont take-home of $40,536, on $49,480 for work ranking 324 of 453 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 324 of 453 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Vermont, so $41,947 — the adjusted value of that $49,480 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 324 of 453 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $39,540 and the top tenth $59,980, so most people doing this work in Vermont sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Vermont is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $41,947 in national terms.
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 Vermont adds its own income tax on top — which is why $40,536 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 ($39,540 to $59,980) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Vermont rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Vermont'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 $41,947 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 $40,536 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Vermont 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.
