| In 1997, with strong support from MECP and the Consumer Electronics
Association, the Bureau of Labor Statistics added mobile electronics
installers and repairers to theft occupational classification system. As a
result, the Bureau and other federal agencies began collecting data on the
number of installers in the work force and their average salaries. Their
most recent estimates, based on data from 1999, predict that there are
nearly 15,000 workers nation- wide who fall into this occupational
category. The BLS estimates, which do not account
for regional cost of living variances, report that the national average
annual salary for a mobile electronics installer is $25,560. Additionally,
10 per cent of installers surveyed reported earning in excess of $39,390
annually. |
