Start with the answer

First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers pay in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA and Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT

The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers is $120,040 per year in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA. It is $94,130 per year in Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT. Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA is 27.5% above Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT on the published median.

Both rows use SOC 49-1011 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.

BLS lists 1,020 wage and salary jobs in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA and 2,220 in Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.

Pay range

Compare the full First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers wage ladder

A median can hide a wide range. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile points show more of each area's spread. A percentile is a rank point. It is not a career stage. The 10th point does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th point does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years.

The lower half can differ from the upper half. One area can lead at the median and trail at another point. Read each field against the same field in the other area. Do not compare one area's 75th percentile with the other area's median. That would answer a different question.

A posted job range can sit below, across, or above these marks. That does not make the post wrong. A listing can differ by employer, level, hours, field, or work rules. Keep the listing tied to that employer. Keep the BLS range tied to the whole role-place row.

10th percentile: Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA is $77,430 per year; Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT is $60,340 per year. Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA is 28.3% above Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT at this point.

Shape of pay

Mean and median tell two parts of the First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers story

Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA has a mean of $113,540 per year and a median of $120,040. Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT has a mean of $93,930 per year and a median of $94,130. Mean adds all wage values and splits the total by the number of jobs behind the estimate.

Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA's mean is 5.4% below its median on the same published median. Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT's mean is 0.2% below its median on the same published median. The gaps show that each wage spread has a shape. They do not explain why the shape differs.

Use median for the middle. Use mean to see how the full set pulls. Use percentiles to see more of the spread. None of the three is a pay promise. A person, team, or listing can sit far from all three for reasons that are outside these BLS rows.

Job scale

How the two First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers job bases differ

Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA has 1,020 estimated First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers jobs. Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT has 2,220. The larger count shows a larger covered job base in this source. It does not show more open roles, faster hiring, or a better chance for one applicant.

Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA has 10.88 First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT has 3.69 per 1,000. This rate helps compare places of different size. It is not a job-post rate and does not use the MeritLog catalog.

The employment RSE is 2.6% in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA and 4.8% in Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. It is not the chance that the job count or one person's pay is right.

Local share

Where First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers takes a larger share of jobs

The location quotient is 2.74 in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA and 0.93 in Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT. A value of 1 means the role has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. A value above 1 means the local share is larger. A value below 1 means it is smaller.

Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA's quotient is 194.6% above Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT's. That gap is about the job mix. It is not a wage gap, a job-count gap, or a growth claim.

Read location quotient with employment. A small place can have a high share and few jobs. A large place can have many jobs and a share near the national mark. Then read pay as its own field. The three measures do not form one score.

BEA price view

How price levels differ between Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA and Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT

BEA's 2024 all-items price index is 105.6 in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA and 102.7 in Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT. The U.S. level is 100. A higher number means the broad local price level is higher than the national mark. It does not say a place is good or bad.

Housing is 129.6 in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA and 110.2 in Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT. Goods are 105.0 and 97.3. Utilities are 92.0 and 144.9. Other services are 99.5 and 102.7. The parts can move in different ways.

The wage period is May 2025. The price period is 2024. WageScope keeps those clocks visible. It uses the all-items index for one clear proxy. It does not mix BEA prices into the BLS source row, and it does not claim the two releases describe the exact same month.

Price-level proxy

Compare the medians in national-price dollars

In Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA, we start with the $120,040 median. We divide it by 105.6 divided by 100. The result is $113,667 per year. In Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT, we start with $94,130. We divide it by 102.7 divided by 100. That result is $91,614 per year.

Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA's proxy is 24.1% above Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT's. The nominal gap is 27.5%. The order can stay the same or change after the price-level step. Both results must keep their labels.

The proxy is a narrow math tool. It is not take-home pay. It does not add taxes, benefits, household size, debt, commute, schools, safety, climate, or taste. It does not set a wage target. Use it to see how one broad price index changes the wage view, then check your own costs outside WageScope.

Same-proxy pay

What equal price-level pay would look like in the other place

$120,040 per year in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA has the same value after this price check as $116,788 per year in Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT. We keep the result for Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA fixed. Then we apply the overall price index for Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT.

$94,130 per year in Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT has the same proxy as $96,751 per year in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA. This reverse view is useful because the answer depends on which wage you start with. It is not a claim about an offer in either place.

Equivalent nominal pay uses one broad price measure. It does not know what a person buys. It does not know rent, family size, debt, taxes, travel, benefits, or savings. Treat the result as a clean source-backed comparison, not a full move plan or a number an employer must match.

Data care

Check the survey marks before you use the gap

The mean-wage RSE is 0.7% in Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA and 1.4% in Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT. The employment RSE is 2.6% and 4.8%. RSE is a precision flag for the field it sits beside. It is not a score for the whole page.

BLS does not publish the same RSE field for the median and each percentile. WageScope does not move a mean RSE to the median. It does not use an employment RSE as a wage care mark. Each value stays tied to its source field. Missing or top-coded values also keep their source state.

New BLS or BEA data can change the result. We check the source dates before release. If a full new release is waiting for review, we cannot call these data current. Each job card has its own check date. New job posts do not make the government data newer.

Use the result

A short check list for Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA and Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT

Start with the same First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers wage field. Then read the full percentile spread. Check job count, jobs per 1,000, and location quotient. Add the 2024 all-items and housing price levels. Read the national-price-dollar proxy with its limits. Keep the BLS and BEA dates in view.

Next, inspect one current employer-title match in each place when an exact public place match exists. A job post can show work level, hours, location rules, and pay that the BLS row cannot. The post is dated employer evidence. It does not change the survey median or prove a broad trend.

Last, use your own facts. Compare the job needs with work you have done and can support. A wage gap cannot show fit. A price-level gap cannot show fit. A job count cannot show fit. MeritLog's résumé path starts only after you choose a listing and confirm the work facts you want to use.

Limits

What this First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers comparison does not decide

The page does not choose Bremerton-Silverdale-Port Orchard, WA or Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT for you. It does not say what one worker earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the medians differ. It does not turn the larger wage, job count, quotient, or proxy into a place score.

This comparison leaves out people who work for themselves and jobs outside the BLS survey. It does not add taxes, take-home pay, benefits, stock, bonuses, or hours. It leaves out travel, remote work, and your home budget too. Job posts stay separate. There may be none even when all source data is ready.

Use this page for a bounded choice. Compare the same May 2025 BLS role and metric across two exact areas. Add the separate 2024 BEA price view. Inspect dated employer-title matches. Then build a résumé from facts you have confirmed. Keep each source tied to the question it can answer.
