How pay is spread in Arizona

By median pay, Arizona is number 25 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $34,190 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $120,180. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $38,160 to $77,830. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $67,620, 35% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 3,239,430 jobs counted here are 2.1% of all jobs in the national figures.

The kinds of work

Adding up the occupations with a published job count, the largest fields of work in Arizona are Office and Administrative Support (402,490 jobs, 13%), Sales and Related (304,130 jobs, 9%), Food Preparation and Serving Related (281,610 jobs, 9%) and Transportation and Material Moving (270,990 jobs, 8%). Some occupations are far more common here than elsewhere. Set against their share of all jobs in the country, the most concentrated are Continuous Mining Machine Operators (9.8 times the national share), Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers (5.4 times the national share) and Plasterers and Stucco Masons (4.8 times the national share). The table on this page lists 720 occupations; for 8 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 360 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 93 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 161 pay less and 106 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Gambling Dealers ($60,940 here, $34,320 nationally), Semiconductor Processing Technicians ($78,940 here, $51,430 nationally) and Bartenders ($45,070 here, $34,340 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for Producers and Directors ($67,320 here, $90,360 nationally), Property Appraisers and Assessors ($51,250 here, $67,960 nationally) and Eligibility Interviewers, Government Programs ($41,690 here, $54,210 nationally). A gap in pay is not a gap in living standard: prices, housing costs and taxes differ between states, and these statistics do not adjust for them.
