What electrician pay in Albuquerque really looks like

At $59,120 a year, Albuquerque pays modestly below the national market for electricians — $4,070 (6%) under the U.S. median of $63,190. It is a real gap, but a beatable one: the higher end of the local range closes most of it, and a credential or a supervisory step can push a Albuquerque electrician past the national figure without leaving the metro.

The local range is moderate — $46,540 at the 25th percentile to $72,890 at the 75th (BLS). Half of Albuquerque Electricians earn inside that band, so it is a realistic target window: an offer near $72,890 is genuinely strong for the metro, while anything under $46,540 is worth pushing back on with the BLS figures in hand.

This is a substantial local market: BLS estimates roughly 2,440 electrician jobs across the Albuquerque, NM metro area (a count of metro employment, not a survey of reported salaries). A deep employer base is good news for pay — it means more openings to compare side by side, more turnover creating vacancies, and more leverage to hold out for an employer at the top of the local range instead of settling for the first offer that lands.

Right now, Jobeezy is tracking 24 open electrician jobs in Albuquerque against the BLS $59,120 benchmark — the live listings and the employers hiring are below, so you can see which openings actually clear the metro median before you apply.

Put it together and the picture for Albuquerque is concrete: a metro median of $59,120 with most electricians landing between $46,540 and $72,890. The practical move is to aim for the upper half of that band. Jobeezy fit-scores local electrician openings, surfaces the employers posting toward $72,890, and applies for you — so your time goes to the jobs that clear the Albuquerque median, not the ones that sit under it.
