What this figure cannot tell you

It covers people EMPLOYED in this occupation. Anyone who trained for it and was never hired is not in the median above, and neither is anyone doing the work self-employed. No verified count of qualified people exists for this occupation, so this page shows none rather than an estimate. Why that matters · The occupations where we could source it

Who this suits

At $74,090 against a $50,020 midpoint, Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment pays $24,070 a year more than the typical American job — $11.57 an hour. Nothing pays that much more for free, and the thing it is paid for is what you should be reading about.

65,010 people are employed as Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment. At that scale every large metro has a real market, and the difference between a good year and a bad one is usually which employer you are at rather than whether anyone is hiring.

Electrical and electronic repair suits people who enjoy fault-finding on a system they did not build, using a diagram that is usually out of date.

We carry no verified training length for Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment — BLS reports pay, not preparation, and we will not estimate it.

Who should not do this

The middle half runs $60,040 to $88,710 — $2,389 a month between the quarters, a 1.5x ratio. Spreads this narrow are usually set by a grade or a scale, so the negotiation you are imagining probably is not available.

At $60,040, or $28.86 an hour, the 25th percentile sits $10,020 above the $50,020 the typical American job pays. Occupations with floors this high almost always have a requirement holding them there.

Avoid it if working live or at height is not a risk you are prepared to carry routinely.

You will not find a "what share make it" figure here. 65,010 is a headcount of the employed, which is a numerator without a denominator — everyone who qualified and never got hired is missing from it, and we will not estimate them to complete a percentage.

What the spread tells you

$60,040 to $88,710 is a 1.5x range. Ranges this tight usually mean the employer set is homogeneous — the same kind of organisation paying the same kind of scale — so the lever you have is geography rather than employer.

Put in money rather than ratios: $60,040 at the 25th percentile, $74,090 at the midpoint, $88,710 at the 75th. $28,670 separates the quarter of Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment at the bottom from the quarter at the top.

Between $60,040 and $88,710 — the two ends of the middle half — sits $74,090. Moving from the midpoint to the upper quarter is worth $14,620; the whole climb from the lower quarter is $28,670.

$14,050 down to $60,040, $14,620 up to $88,710: the midpoint of Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment is centred in its own middle half. That symmetry is why the median and the average would say much the same thing here, which is not true of most pages on this site.

Converted to an hourly rate over a full-time year: $28.86 at the bottom quarter, $35.62 at the midpoint, $42.64 at the top quarter. The typical American job works out at $24.04 on the same basis.

What these figures are, and what they are not

Employers reported these wages for people already working as Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment. The self-employed are excluded, so $74,090 does not describe an independent doing the same work.

Treat the per-hour figure as a conversion. It assumes a flat full-time year against $74,090 because we have no verified record of unpaid hours or out-of-pocket costs for this work, and we would rather convert honestly than adjust invented ones.
