BLS metro-level wage data places Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers pay in Memphis, TN-MS-AR at a median of $48,510 per year ($23.32/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $45,850, Memphis pays +6% above, signaling either concentrated employer demand, a cost-of-living premium, or both. Approximately 250 electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finisherss are employed across the Memphis MSA in SOC 51-2028.

The Memphis pay distribution spans from $32,740 at the 10th percentile to $65,990 at the 90th — a 2.0× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro. The 25th percentile sits at $38,820 and the 75th at $50,340, so half of Memphis-based electrical, electronic, and electromechanical assemblers, except coil winders, tapers, and finisherss earn within that middle band.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Memphis, TN-MS-AR covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide TN data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
