Wage table

What the numbers mean

The gap between the 10th and 90th percentile is wide: the highest-paid 10% of electricians in Virginia earn about 2.9× what the lowest-paid 10% earn. That spread usually reflects differences in experience, employer type, and local cost of living within the state — the median is a more representative figure than the mean for a "typical" salary, since a small number of very high earners can pull the mean upward.
