What this pays, and what it is worth
- Georgia sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $53,290, ranking 23 of 45 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 251 among 492 occupations Georgia publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $53,290 you keep $42,938 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $44,404 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $55,740, since top earners drag the number up.
- Georgia occupies the middle band for recreational vehicle service technicians: a median of $53,290, ranking 23 of 45. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Position 251 of 492 in Georgia places recreational vehicle service technicians in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Retained pay in Georgia is $42,938 after the full tax stack, from $53,290. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $44,404 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $55,740 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $53,290 as a midpoint for Georgia, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $37,340 and the ninetieth is $77,280 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $42,938 take-home in Georgia comes from $53,290. 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 251 of 492.
- One number stands for prices across all of Georgia, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $44,404, the adjusted value of that $53,290 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 251 of 492 in the state.
- The Georgia median of $53,290 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $37,340 to $77,280. 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 $42,938, from $53,290, assumes a single Georgia 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 251 of 492 locally, and the state ranks 23 of 45 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Georgia, so $44,404 — the adjusted value of that $53,290 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 251 of 492 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $55,740, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $37,340 and the top tenth $77,280 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Georgia is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $44,404 in national terms.
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 Georgia's own levy, $42,938 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 45 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Georgia is $55,740. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($37,340) and the ninetieth ($77,280) 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.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Georgia'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 $44,404 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 $42,938 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Georgia 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 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
