What the Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median says in Illinois
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median in Illinois at $129,390 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 17-2072 and BLS area 17.
BLS lists 960 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $132,450 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Illinois's Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median is 0.6% below the U.S. Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median of $130,220 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 17-2072 and area 17. SOC 17-2072 names Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. Area 17 names Illinois. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 17-2072/17 row reports 960 wage and salary jobs, 0.16 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.25 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 17-2072/17, the annual median is $129,390 per year, while the matching mean is $132,450 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 17 facts behind this Electronics Engineers, Except Computer page
Area 17 reports 6,098,130 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $71,130. Its annual median is $51,960. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 17-2072 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Illinois runs from $32,900 at the 10th percentile to $127,770 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,960. The median is $51,960. The 75th percentile is $83,060. This is a place check, not a pay range for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 17. They do not show related skills or a path into Electronics Engineers, Except Computer.
1. Area 17, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 195,390 jobs, $40,550 annual median, 32.04 jobs per 1,000, and 1.69 location quotient.
2. Area 17, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 171,300 jobs, $103,570 annual median, 28.09 jobs per 1,000, and 1.25 location quotient.
3. Area 17, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 139,630 jobs, $34,490 annual median, 22.9 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Illinois wage ladder for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer
The 10th percentile is $87,970 per year. The 25th percentile is $104,450 per year. The median is $129,390 per year. The 75th percentile is $161,580 per year. The 90th percentile is $186,060 per year.
A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $104,450 per year to $161,580 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $98,090. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Illinois has a annual median of $129,390 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $130,220 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Illinois. Illinois is 0.6% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Where Illinois sits for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer
Illinois ranks 10 of 51 among states and territories with a published annual median for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 10 of 51 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
7. Rhode Island has a Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median of $136,360 per year, 970 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.1.
8. Texas has a Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median of $132,220 per year, 9,520 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.09.
9. Washington has a Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median of $130,270 per year, 1,950 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.88.
11. Utah has a Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median of $128,430 per year, 1,570 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.45.
Pay leaders
Where Electronics Engineers, Except Computer medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 17-2072, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. California has the highest published median in this set, at $160,520 per year. Illinois sits at $129,390 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Electronics Engineers, Except Computer is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. California has a Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median of $160,520 per year, or $31,130 above Illinois. BLS lists 20,830 jobs there, compared with 960 in Illinois. The location quotient is 1.84.
2. New Jersey has a Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median of $158,730 per year, or $29,340 above Illinois. BLS lists 1,820 jobs there, compared with 960 in Illinois. The location quotient is 0.68.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Electronics Engineers, Except Computer jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer in this same-source set, at 20,830 jobs. Illinois has 960. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. California has 20,830 estimated Electronics Engineers, Except Computer jobs, a gap of 19,870 jobs from Illinois. Its median is $160,520 per year, or $31,130 above Illinois. Its location quotient is 1.84.
2. Texas has 9,520 estimated Electronics Engineers, Except Computer jobs, a gap of 8,560 jobs from Illinois. Its median is $132,220 per year, or $2,830 above Illinois. Its location quotient is 1.09.
Local-share leaders
Where Electronics Engineers, Except Computer takes the largest share of local jobs
Colorado has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 3.39. Illinois has 0.25. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Electronics Engineers, Except Computer is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Colorado has a location quotient of 3.39, a gap of 3.14 from Illinois. BLS lists 6,080 Electronics Engineers, Except Computer jobs and a median of $127,010 per year, or $2,380 below Illinois.
2. Rhode Island has a location quotient of 3.1, a gap of 2.85 from Illinois. BLS lists 970 Electronics Engineers, Except Computer jobs and a median of $136,360 per year, or $6,970 above Illinois.
3. Massachusetts has a location quotient of 2.61, a gap of 2.36 from Illinois. BLS lists 5,910 Electronics Engineers, Except Computer jobs and a median of $138,230 per year, or $8,840 above Illinois.
Job scale and share
How common Electronics Engineers, Except Computer is in Illinois
BLS lists 960 Electronics Engineers, Except Computer jobs in Illinois. It also lists 0.16 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 0.25. A value of 1 means Electronics Engineers, Except Computer has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Electronics Engineers, Except Computer beside other roles in Illinois
The all-occupations median in Illinois is $51,960 per year. The Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median is $129,390 per year. Electronics Engineers, Except Computer is 149.0% above the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Illinois. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. Software Developers, SOC 15-1252, has a Illinois median of $132,110 per year. BLS lists 56,310 jobs and a location quotient of 0.85.
2. Management Analysts, SOC 13-1111, has a Illinois median of $104,270 per year. BLS lists 45,820 jobs and a location quotient of 1.3.
3. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Illinois median of $103,570 per year. BLS lists 171,300 jobs and a location quotient of 1.25.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Illinois
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Illinois table, at 195,390 jobs. Electronics Engineers, Except Computer has 960 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 6,098,130. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Electronics Engineers, Except Computer's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 195,390 jobs in Illinois, a gap of 194,430 from Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. Its median is $40,550 per year, or $88,840 below Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. Its location quotient is 1.69.
2. General and Operations Managers has 171,300 jobs in Illinois, a gap of 170,340 from Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. Its median is $103,570 per year, or $25,820 below Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. Its location quotient is 1.25.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Illinois
Financial Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Illinois role table, at $165,880 per year. Electronics Engineers, Except Computer has $129,390 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,960 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. Financial Managers has a median of $165,880 per year in Illinois, or $36,490 above Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. BLS lists 52,720 jobs, compared with 960 for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. Its location quotient is 1.6.
2. Software Developers has a median of $132,110 per year in Illinois, or $2,720 above Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. BLS lists 56,310 jobs, compared with 960 for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. Its location quotient is 0.85.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Illinois
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has the highest location quotient in the bounded Illinois role table, at 1.69. Electronics Engineers, Except Computer has 0.25. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Electronics Engineers, Except Computer with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has a location quotient of 1.69 in Illinois, a gap of 1.44 from Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. BLS lists 195,390 jobs and a median of $40,550 per year, or $88,840 below Electronics Engineers, Except Computer.
2. Financial Managers has a location quotient of 1.6 in Illinois, a gap of 1.35 from Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. BLS lists 52,720 jobs and a median of $165,880 per year, or $36,490 above Electronics Engineers, Except Computer.
Price-level view
What $129,390 may mean after the Illinois price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Illinois is 100.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 0.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $129,390 Electronics Engineers, Except Computer median by 100.0 divided by 100. The result is $129,444 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 93.9. Goods are 103.8. Utilities are 85.0. Other services are 100.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Electronics Engineers, Except Computer row is 6.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.7%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 960 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $132,450 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Electronics Engineers, Except Computer. It uses a Illinois place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $129,390 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
What the Electronics Engineers, Except Computer row for Illinois does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 960 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.25 is not a growth score. Rank 10 of 51 is not a place score. The 100.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 17-2072 in BLS area 17. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
BLS published an employment estimate of 960 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
