Electronic Equipment Installers and Repairers, Motor Vehicles Salary and Pay

The national wage ladder (BLS OEWS, May 2024)

The five rows are five different workers in the same occupation, from the 10th percentile ($31,680) to the 90th ($70,480). BLS suppresses cells that fail its reliability rules (n/p here) and caps the highest wages at $239,200+ a year or $115.00+ an hour; in this ladder that top code appears at the very top rows only.

Employment and concentration

With 10,140 jobs nationally, Electronic Equipment Installers and Repairers, Motor Vehicles make up 0.01% of U.S. employment as BLS measured it in May 2024. The map is uneven: Texas alone holds 1,430 of those jobs, the top three states hold 34.0%, and the deepest concentration sits in Indiana (location quotient 3.60, where 1.00 is the national average). A quotient above 2 usually signals a local industry cluster rather than evenly spread demand.

Pay inside the occupation is wide: $38,800 separates the ends of its ladder. The 90th percentile ($70,480) is 2.2 times the 10th percentile ($31,680), a gap of $38,800 a year. The mean of $50,240 sitting above the median of $47,940 tells you the top end pulls the average up: most workers cluster below the mean, and the high tail is thin.

Pay by state

Sorted by employment, the table below puts Texas first at 1,430 jobs; sorted by median pay instead, Iowa would lead at $59,870. Both orderings are printed in one table:

The occupation in context

In 16 of the 35 states with a published median, the state median beats the national median of $47,940, 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.
