Business Operations Specialists salary in Nevada

The median wage for Business Operations Specialists in Nevada was $63,970 in 2024, about 22% below the national median of $82,135. That is a notable gap for a state with a cost of living close to the national average. Nevada's overall index sits at 100.8, nearly flat against the baseline. The wage discount is not offset by cheaper rent or lower prices; the money simply goes less far here than the headline gap might suggest.

The spread across earners is wide. Workers at the 10th percentile earned $36,730, while those at the 90th percentile earned $120,640. Top earners make roughly 3.3 times what those at the bottom of the range take home. That range reflects how broadly the SOC group 13-1199 is defined: it pulls in compliance coordinators, operations analysts, and management support roles that differ significantly in seniority, industry, and scope. Where someone lands in that band depends heavily on which kind of role and how much experience they bring.

The mean annual wage of $74,010 sits well above the median of $63,970. A smaller group of higher-paid specialists in the upper tiers pulls the average up, so the median is the more useful reference point for most workers.

On the employment side, BLS counted 10,450 workers in this occupation across Nevada. BLS projects 3% growth for this group through 2034, which it rates as average. That puts expected growth roughly in line with the broader economy, not a high-growth signal, but not contraction either.
