What the spread means

Pay varies meaningfully by state. Maryland pays about 1.4 times what Louisiana does, roughly what you would expect from cost-of-living differences plus local demand.

A high median is not automatically a better deal. States that pay well for this work are frequently expensive places to live, and the same salary buys very different amounts of housing and energy depending on where it is earned. The state pages linked below carry electricity, gas and housing figures for the same places.

Where the work is concentrated

Frequently asked questions

How much does a electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finishers make?

The national median is $44,040 a year, or about $21.17 an hour, as of the 2024 Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey. Half of workers in the occupation earn more than that and half earn less.

Which state pays electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finisherss the most?

Maryland, at a median of $50,980. Washington ($50,480) and Massachusetts ($47,710) follow. Pay that looks high often reflects a high cost of living rather than a better deal, so it is worth reading alongside what housing and energy cost in the same state.

How many people work as electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finisherss?

About 261,090 across the states reporting the occupation, against a national estimate of 261,140.

Is this figure a salary or an hourly rate?

Both are published. BLS surveys employers rather than workers, so these are wages paid rather than wages reported by employees, and they exclude self-employed people. Annual figures for occupations that are typically part-time or seasonal should be read with that in mind.
