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

North Las Vegas residents working in architecture and engineering occupations earn a median of $77,549 (Census ACS 5-year 2023, tables S2401 and B24011), against $91,685 as the median of the 26 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 15%, with the employers figure the higher of the two.

Both sides of that figure describe the whole architecture and engineering group, not this one role. In the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV area the group covers 26 occupations BLS publishes a wage for, from industrial engineering technologists and technicians at $55,460 to electronics engineers, except computer at $125,570 (BLS OEWS, May 2025), with industrial engineers at $91,140 inside it.

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 26 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.
