Timing Device Assemblers and Adjusters Salary and Pay

The national wage ladder (BLS OEWS, May 2024)

Read the ladder vertically: each row is the wage of the Timing Device Assemblers and Adjusters worker at that point in the distribution, so $58,440 at the 75th percentile means three quarters of the occupation earns less. Figures BLS cannot publish appear as n/p, and its top code prints as $239,200+.

Employment and concentration

BLS counted 230 Timing Device Assemblers and Adjusters jobs nationally in May 2024, 0.00% of all U.S. employment in the survey. For this occupation BLS publishes state wage estimates for 1 states but suppresses the state employment counts and location quotients, because the sample behind each state cell is too small to disclose. The state table below is therefore a wage table: it shows what the work pays state by state, and the national ladder above is the employment picture. Any site quoting a state headcount for this occupation is estimating outside the published survey.

The spread matters as much as the center. Earners at the 90th percentile make $65,580, which is 2.5 times the $26,240 at the 10th, a difference of $39,340 annually. Because the mean wage ($42,410) sits above the median ($40,790), a typical offer should be judged against the median and the 25th to 75th percentile band, not the mean.

Pay by state

Michigan posts the highest median annual wage in the state table at $27,850, and Michigan the largest headcount. The full table, sorted by employment:

Metropolitan areas

What the median pay looks like as a budget

The median Timing Device Assemblers and Adjusters paycheck, gross, is $1,569 every two weeks on an annual $40,790, which is $3,399 a month and $784 a week. Moving from the 25th percentile ($27,850) to the 75th ($58,440) is worth $30,590 a year, which is the realistic size of the experience and specialization premium inside this occupation. Gross is a starting point, not a budget: the paycheck calculator nets it down by state, an offer comparison lives in the salary calculator, and the raise vs inflation calculator separates a real raise from a nominal one.

To place a real offer: a salary of $44,869 would sit between the median ($40,790) and the 75th percentile ($58,440), inside the top half but outside the top quarter of this occupation's ladder. An offer at the 25th percentile, $27,850, is $12,940 under the median, the typical size of the discount attached to entry-level or low-cost-market postings in this field.
