What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Nevada pays this job a middle wage of $36,180, 36 of 48 states and about 25.06% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Nevada this is lower-paid work. Of 485 occupations the state publishes figures for, this job ranks 447. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $36,180 you keep $31,251 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $32,224 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $40,560, since top earners drag the number up.
- Nevada's $36,180 median for sales and related workers, all other places it 36 of 48 states, about 25.06% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Against every occupation Nevada reports, sales and related workers, all other ranks 447 of 485, 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.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $31,251 after the full tax stack, from $36,180. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $32,224 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $40,560 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 $36,180. The published range is $28,150 up to $58,610, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $31,251 take-home in Nevada comes from $36,180. 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 447 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $32,224 uses one figure for the whole of Nevada. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 485 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 447.
- Reported values are medians; for sales and related workers, all other in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $28,150 to $58,610. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $31,251, from $36,180, assumes a single Nevada 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 447 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 36 of 48 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $32,224, worked from $36,180, 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 Nevada address, on work sitting at 447 of 485 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 $40,560, 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?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $28,150, the highest tenth $58,610, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $32,224 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $31,251 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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 48 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
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 Nevada is $40,560. 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 ($28,150) and the ninetieth ($58,610) 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?
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 $32,224 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 $31,251 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 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
