Do North Las Vegas residents in management work earn more than employers in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV area pay?

North Las Vegas residents working in management occupations earn a median of $69,990 (Census ACS 5-year 2023, tables S2401 and B24011), against $104,675 as the median of the 32 wages BLS publishes for that same occupation group in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV area (BLS OEWS, May 2025), a difference of 33%, with the employers figure the higher of the two.

Both sides of that figure describe the whole management group, not this one role. In the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV area the group covers 32 occupations BLS publishes a wage for, from property, real estate, and community association managers at $56,440 to chief executives at $190,480 (BLS OEWS, May 2025).

That comparison is between two different measures, not a pay gap. The two weight the same occupation group differently: the Census figure is the midpoint across the people who actually hold those jobs, so a group carrying a few very well paid occupations is pulled toward them, while the BLS figure is the midpoint across the 32 published occupation wages, which counts each of those occupations once whatever its headcount. Census also counts where people live and BLS counts where the jobs are, and the two cover different populations, Census the civilian employed population 16 and over, BLS wage-and-salary jobs only. Read the number against other cities, where the same definitional difference applies on both sides, rather than as a shortfall.

Published wages across this group in the metro run above what North Las Vegas residents in it earn, which usually means employers here draw this talent from beyond the city line rather than from inside it.
