What this pays, and what it is worth

- Within Connecticut this is lower-paid work. Of 482 occupations the state publishes figures for, stockers and order fillers ranks 417. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Connecticut is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $40,590 the take-home is $33,398; in national-average money that behaves like $32,209. The average comes to $41,800, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Connecticut ranks 5 of 51 states publishing a median for stockers and order fillers, at $40,590 — about 8.73% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- Against every occupation Connecticut reports, stockers and order fillers ranks 417 of 482, 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.
- Take-home for stockers and order fillers in Connecticut, on $40,590, is $33,398; deflated by the state's price level, $32,209. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $41,800 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Connecticut earn less than $40,590. The published range is $35,540 up to $48,740, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Connecticut the take-home figure of $33,398, from $40,590, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 417 of 482 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $32,209, the adjusted value of that $40,590 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Connecticut. 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 417 of 482 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for stockers and order fillers in Connecticut the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $35,540 to $48,740. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Connecticut is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $33,398 from $40,590. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 417 of 482 locally.
- This $32,209 adjusted figure, worked from $40,590, 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 417 of 482 in the state. The occupation ranks 417 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $35,540 at the tenth percentile, $48,740 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Connecticut run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $32,209 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
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 Connecticut adds its own income tax on top — which is why $33,398 of this wage survives to your account.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($35,540 to $48,740) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Connecticut rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $32,209 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $33,398 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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.
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.
