Nevada was 11.1% below the U.S. median for Tapers. It ranked 16 of 28 state areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
Price-level context
What the local median may buy
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Nevada was 100, or 0% below the national price level. Its housing index was 114.1.

WageScope divides the published Tapers median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 47-2082 and BLS area 32.
Questions, answered
Tapers pay in Nevada: common questions
What is the median wage for Tapers in Nevada?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $60,690 per year for Tapers in Nevada. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Tapers pay higher in Nevada than nationally?
Nevada's published median was 11.1% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Nevada?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 100.0 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.
How many Tapers jobs does BLS estimate in Nevada?
BLS published an employment estimate of 1,190 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Tapers median in Nevada at $60,690 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 47-2082 and BLS area 32.
BLS lists 1,190 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 $65,990 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Nevada's Tapers median is 11.1% below the U.S. Tapers median of $68,270 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 47-2082 and area 32. SOC 47-2082 names Tapers. Area 32 names Nevada. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2082/32 row reports 1,190 wage and salary jobs, 0.77 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 9.26 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2082/32, the annual median is $60,690 per year, while the matching mean is $65,990 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 32 reports 1,551,540 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $62,050. Its annual median is $47,660. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2082 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Nevada runs from $28,270 at the 10th percentile to $106,080 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,150. The median is $47,660. The 75th percentile is $74,140. This is a place check, not a pay range for Tapers.
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 32. They do not show related skills or a path into Tapers.
1. Area 32, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 45,850 jobs, $31,950 annual median, 29.55 jobs per 1,000, and 1.19 location quotient.
2. Area 32, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 43,920 jobs, $34,190 annual median, 28.31 jobs per 1,000, and 1.13 location quotient.
3. Area 32, SOC 35-3031, Waiters and Waitresses: 42,520 jobs, $26,410 annual median, 27.41 jobs per 1,000, and 1.88 location quotient.
4. Area 32, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 40,850 jobs, $39,350 annual median, 26.33 jobs per 1,000, and 1.39 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Nevada wage ladder for Tapers
The 10th percentile is $43,840 per year. The 25th percentile is $48,040 per year. The median is $60,690 per year. The 75th percentile is $78,540 per year. The 90th percentile is $101,090 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 $48,040 per year to $78,540 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $57,250. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Nevada has a annual median of $60,690 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $68,270 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Nevada. Nevada is 11.1% 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.
Nevada ranks 16 of 28 among states and territories with a published annual median for Tapers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 16 of 28 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.
13. Michigan has a Tapers median of $63,630 per year, 190 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.52.
14. Connecticut has a Tapers median of $63,600 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.54.
15. Missouri has a Tapers median of $63,020 per year, 220 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.9.
17. Wisconsin has a Tapers median of $57,840 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.29.
18. Idaho has a Tapers median of $57,690 per year, 310 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 4.32.
Pay leaders
Where Tapers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2082, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Illinois has the highest published median in this set, at $113,180 per year. Nevada sits at $60,690 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Tapers 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. Illinois has a Tapers median of $113,180 per year, or $52,490 above Nevada. BLS lists 320 jobs there, compared with 1,190 in Nevada. The location quotient is 0.63.
2. Hawaii has a Tapers median of $95,490 per year, or $34,800 above Nevada. BLS lists 170 jobs there, compared with 1,190 in Nevada. The location quotient is 3.22.
3. Pennsylvania has a Tapers median of $82,240 per year, or $21,550 above Nevada. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 1,190 in Nevada. The location quotient is 0.11.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Tapers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Tapers in this same-source set, at 4,540 jobs. Nevada has 1,190. 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 4,540 estimated Tapers jobs, a gap of 3,350 jobs from Nevada. Its median is $73,460 per year, or $12,770 above Nevada. Its location quotient is 3.02.
2. Washington has 1,550 estimated Tapers jobs, a gap of 360 jobs from Nevada. Its median is $79,040 per year, or $18,350 above Nevada. Its location quotient is 5.3.
3. Nevada has 1,190 estimated Tapers jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from Nevada. Its median is $60,690 per year, or $0 above Nevada. Its location quotient is 9.26.
Local-share leaders
Where Tapers takes the largest share of local jobs
Nevada has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 9.26. Nevada has 9.26. 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 Tapers 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. Nevada has a location quotient of 9.26, a gap of 0.00 from Nevada. BLS lists 1,190 Tapers jobs and a median of $60,690 per year, or $0 above Nevada.
2. Washington has a location quotient of 5.3, a gap of 3.96 from Nevada. BLS lists 1,550 Tapers jobs and a median of $79,040 per year, or $18,350 above Nevada.
3. Idaho has a location quotient of 4.32, a gap of 4.94 from Nevada. BLS lists 310 Tapers jobs and a median of $57,690 per year, or $3,000 below Nevada.
4. Hawaii has a location quotient of 3.22, a gap of 6.04 from Nevada. BLS lists 170 Tapers jobs and a median of $95,490 per year, or $34,800 above Nevada.
Job scale and share
How common Tapers is in Nevada
BLS lists 1,190 Tapers jobs in Nevada. It also lists 0.77 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 9.26. A value of 1 means Tapers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher 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.
The all-occupations median in Nevada is $47,660 per year. The Tapers median is $60,690 per year. Tapers is 27.3% 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 Nevada. 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 Tapers. 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. Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers, SOC 53-3032, has a Nevada median of $62,290 per year. BLS lists 15,010 jobs and a location quotient of 0.73.
2. Carpenters, SOC 47-2031, has a Nevada median of $62,380 per year. BLS lists 12,700 jobs and a location quotient of 1.9.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers, SOC 43-1011, has a Nevada median of $63,090 per year. BLS lists 14,380 jobs and a location quotient of 1.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Nevada
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Nevada table, at 45,850 jobs. Tapers has 1,190 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 1,551,540. 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 Tapers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 45,850 jobs in Nevada, a gap of 44,660 from Tapers. Its median is $31,950 per year, or $28,740 below Tapers. Its location quotient is 1.19.
2. Retail Salespersons has 43,920 jobs in Nevada, a gap of 42,730 from Tapers. Its median is $34,190 per year, or $26,500 below Tapers. Its location quotient is 1.13.
3. Waiters and Waitresses has 42,520 jobs in Nevada, a gap of 41,330 from Tapers. Its median is $26,410 per year, or $34,280 below Tapers. Its location quotient is 1.88.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Nevada
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Nevada role table, at $103,670 per year. Tapers has $60,690 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,660 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $103,670 per year in Nevada, or $42,980 above Tapers. BLS lists 27,070 jobs, compared with 1,190 for Tapers. Its location quotient is 0.8.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $99,390 per year in Nevada, or $38,700 above Tapers. BLS lists 38,920 jobs, compared with 1,190 for Tapers. Its location quotient is 1.11.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has a median of $63,090 per year in Nevada, or $2,400 above Tapers. BLS lists 14,380 jobs, compared with 1,190 for Tapers. Its location quotient is 1.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Nevada
Gambling Dealers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Nevada role table, at 20.78. Tapers has 9.26. 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 Tapers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Gambling Dealers has a location quotient of 20.78 in Nevada, a gap of 11.52 from Tapers. BLS lists 17,390 jobs and a median of $25,690 per year, or $35,000 below Tapers.
2. Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has a location quotient of 2.84 in Nevada, a gap of 6.42 from Tapers. BLS lists 24,380 jobs and a median of $46,550 per year, or $14,140 below Tapers.
3. Dishwashers has a location quotient of 2.39 in Nevada, a gap of 6.87 from Tapers. BLS lists 11,360 jobs and a median of $34,920 per year, or $25,770 below Tapers.
Price-level view
What $60,690 may mean after the Nevada price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Nevada 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 $60,690 Tapers median by 100.0 divided by 100. The result is $60,703 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 114.1. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 90.5. Other services are 98.7. 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 Tapers row is 9.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.6%. 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 1,190 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $65,990 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 Tapers. It uses a Nevada 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. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $60,690 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.
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 1,190 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 9.26 is not a growth score. Rank 16 of 28 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 47-2082 in BLS area 32. 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.
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.
