Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers Salary and Pay

The national wage ladder (BLS OEWS, May 2024)

Percentiles answer the question a single average cannot: where would a given Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers offer sit among all 73,010 workers doing this job? The survey top-codes at $239,200+ and withholds unreliable cells, shown as n/p in the table.

Employment and concentration

With 73,010 jobs nationally, Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers make up 0.05% of U.S. employment as BLS measured it in May 2024. The map is uneven: Texas alone holds 7,560 of those jobs, the top three states hold 27.6%, and the deepest concentration sits in Nebraska (location quotient 1.78, where 1.00 is the national average). A quotient above 2 usually signals a local industry cluster rather than evenly spread demand.

Read the ladder as a career path in numbers: $38,290 at the 25th percentile, $46,860 at the middle, $59,420 at the 75th. The full 10-to-90 range runs $34,440, a ratio of 2.0 to 1. Where a specific job offer lands on that range says more about the role's level than the occupation's headline median does.

Pay by state

The state spread for Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers runs from the $60,220 median in New York down through every other publishing state. Employment concentrates in Texas (7,560 jobs). The complete table:

The occupation in context

Ranked against all 826 published occupations, Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers stands number 320 by employment and number 602 by median pay. Inside its own major group, Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Occupations, the group median wage is $59,300 across 51 detailed occupations, so this occupation pays 21% less than its group median, and it supplies 1.2% of the group's 6,045,030 jobs. In 24 of the 50 states with a published median, the state median beats the national median of $46,860, which is the single best quick test of whether this occupation's pay is set nationally or locally: a high count means local markets regularly outbid the national figure.

Metropolitan areas: where the jobs and the pay sit

New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ is the largest metro employer with 5,170 jobs, 7.1% of the national total. The first table ranks metros by employment; the second ranks them by mean pay among metros with at least 500 jobs in the occupation, because a three-person metro can top a pay table by accident.

Largest metro employers

Highest-paying metros (500+ jobs)

At the other end, Pittsburgh, PA posts the lowest mean pay among metros with at least 500 jobs, $44,480 a year, against $61,840 in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ. A gap that size between two metro labor markets is why the same occupation title can fund two very different budgets in two different cities.

What the median pay looks like as a budget

As a household number, $46,860 a year is $3,905 a month gross, $1,802 every two weeks, $901 a week. Moving from the 25th percentile ($38,290) to the 75th ($59,420) is worth $21,130 a year, which is the realistic size of the experience and specialization premium inside this occupation. The next step from a gross figure is a net one: run the $3,905 monthly figure through the paycheck calculator applies your state's taxes, the salary calculator compares two offers in any unit, and the raise vs inflation calculator tells you whether a nominal raise is a real one.

To place a real offer: a salary of $51,546 would sit between the median ($46,860) and the 75th percentile ($59,420), inside the top half but outside the top quarter of this occupation's ladder. An offer at the 25th percentile, $38,290, is $8,570 under the median, the typical size of the discount attached to entry-level or low-cost-market postings in this field.
