Electronics Engineers, Except Computer

$130,220 puts Electronics Engineers, Except Computer among the highest medians BLS publishes, roughly 160% above the $50,020 all-occupation midpoint. Pay at this level always has a gate in front of it: a residency, a bar exam, a clearance, or a decade.

National employment is 96,900. At that scale hiring is continuous, the market rate is well established, and your leverage comes from being credibly willing to go somewhere else.

Engineering suits people willing to be responsible for something that has to work in the physical world, where the review process exists because the failure mode is not a bug report.

No verified preparation time is on file for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. The wage survey behind every figure on this page asks employers what they pay, not what they required, so the honest answer here is that we do not know.

$101,680 to $167,670 — 1.6x, or $5,499 a month between the quarters. An unremarkable spread, which means the useful planning number for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer is the bottom of it rather than the middle.

Even at the 25th percentile Electronics Engineers, Except Computer pays $101,680, $51,660 clear of the $50,020 national midpoint. Almost the entire distribution sits above the typical American wage, which is rare and worth weighing against the entry cost.

Avoid it if you resent process. Much of the day is producing evidence that the work is correct, not producing the work.

No failure rate is shown, and the absence is deliberate: the 96,900 figure counts people already working as Electronics Engineers, Except Computer, not everyone who trained and never got hired. Without a licensing register to divide by, a rate here would be an invented denominator.

A 1.6x ratio is the most common shape in this data: some room to move, none of it quick. Read $130,220 as where you might be after years in Electronics Engineers, Except Computer, and $101,680 as where you would start.

Put in money rather than ratios: $101,680 at the 25th percentile, $130,220 at the midpoint, $167,670 at the 75th. $65,990 separates the quarter of Electronics Engineers, Except Computer at the bottom from the quarter at the top.

Getting to $167,670, the 75th percentile, is worth $37,450 a year more than the $130,220 midpoint and $65,990 more than the $101,680 a quarter of Electronics Engineers, Except Computer settle for.

The climb from $130,220 to $167,670 is $37,450; the drop to $101,680 is $28,540. A little more room above the midpoint than below it is the normal shape for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer and for most paid work, and it is the reason the median is the honest summary rather than the average.

Per hour at a standard full-time year that is $62.60 at the midpoint for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer, $48.88 at the 25th percentile and $80.61 at the 75th, against $24.04 for the typical American job.
