How pay is spread in Nevada

By median pay, Nevada is number 40 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $28,270 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $106,080. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $36,150 to $74,140. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $62,050, 30% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 1,551,540 jobs counted here are 1.0% 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 Nevada are Food Preparation and Serving Related (204,330 jobs, 13%), Office and Administrative Support (185,680 jobs, 12%), Transportation and Material Moving (148,690 jobs, 10%) and Sales and Related (129,930 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 First-Line Supervisors of Gambling Services Workers (21.5 times the national share), Gambling Dealers (20.8 times the national share) and Gambling and Sports Book Writers and Runners (16.1 times the national share). The table on this page lists 679 occupations; for 6 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 265 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 84 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 132 pay less and 49 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Real Estate Sales Agents ($79,990 here, $52,830 nationally), Continuous Mining Machine Operators ($85,590 here, $61,810 nationally) and Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners ($46,550 here, $35,510 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for Substitute Teachers, Short-Term ($24,960 here, $41,670 nationally), Marketing Managers ($107,550 here, $166,790 nationally) and Chief Executives ($149,770 here, $213,990 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.
