What this pays, and what it is worth
- Nevada is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $43,210, ranking 37 of 51 states — about 4.53% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Measured against other jobs in Nevada, this one sits low: 383 of 485 occupations with published pay, in the bottom quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $43,210 you keep $36,899 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $38,048 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $44,760, since top earners drag the number up.
- Nevada ranks 37 of 51 for shipping, receiving, and inventory clerks, with a median of $43,210 — about 4.53% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Shipping, receiving, and inventory clerks occupies position 383 of 485 in Nevada's occupational wage distribution, in the bottom quartile. National ranking and local ranking answer different questions and frequently disagree; this is the one a resident experiences.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $36,899 after the full tax stack, from $43,210. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $38,048 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $44,760 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 $43,210. The published range is $36,110 up to $58,080, 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 $36,899, worked from $43,210. 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 383 of 485.
- Two cautions on $38,048, the adjusted value of that $43,210 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 383 of 485 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for shipping, receiving, and inventory clerks in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $36,110 to $58,080. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Nevada take-home of $36,899, on $43,210 for work ranking 383 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 383 of 485 in the state.
- This $38,048 adjusted figure, worked from $43,210, 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 383 of 485 in the state. The occupation ranks 383 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $44,760 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $36,110 and the top tenth $58,080, so most people doing this work in Nevada sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $38,048.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $36,899 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 $44,760. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($36,110 to $58,080) 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 $38,048 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 $36,899 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
