What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Nevada is 17 of 45 states for this job, with a middle wage of $51,430. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Against other work in Nevada, this sits in the middle: 297 of 485 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $51,430 you keep $43,504 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $44,859 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $51,930, since top earners drag the number up.
- Nevada ranks 17 of 45 for miscellaneous construction and related workers at $51,430. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Miscellaneous construction and related workers ranks 297 of 485 occupations in Nevada 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.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $43,504 after the full tax stack, from $51,430. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $44,859 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $51,930 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $51,430. The published range is $38,460 up to $63,600, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Nevada's $43,504, worked from $51,430. 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 297 of 485.
- Two cautions on $44,859, the adjusted value of that $51,430 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Nevada. 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 297 of 485 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for miscellaneous construction and related workers in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $38,460 to $63,600. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Nevada take-home of $43,504, on $51,430 for work ranking 297 of 485 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 297 of 485 in the state.
- This $44,859 adjusted figure, worked from $51,430, 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 297 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 297 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $38,460 at the tenth percentile, $63,600 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Nevada sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $44,859 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $43,504 survives, because Nevada levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
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 45 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($38,460 to $63,600) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Nevada rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Nevada'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 $44,859 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Nevada levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $43,504 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 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
