Entertainment Attendants and Related Workers, All Other Salary and Pay

The national wage ladder (BLS OEWS, May 2024)

Read the ladder vertically: each row is the wage of the Entertainment Attendants and Related Workers, All Other worker at that point in the distribution, so $40,360 at the 75th percentile means three quarters of the occupation earns less. Figures BLS cannot publish appear as n/p, and its top code prints as $239,200+.

Employment and concentration

May 2024 employment stood at 8,060, or 0.01% of the U.S. total. California leads the state table with 1,240 jobs; the top three states sum to 42.2% of the occupation. The concentration measure tells the more interesting story: Nevada posts a location quotient of 7.78, so a worker there is far more likely to meet a colleague in this field than the national pattern suggests.

Pay inside the occupation is wide: $30,160 separates the ends of its ladder. The 90th percentile ($52,860) is 2.3 times the 10th percentile ($22,700), a gap of $30,160 a year. The mean of $36,180 sitting above the median of $34,550 tells you the top end pulls the average up: most workers cluster below the mean, and the high tail is thin.
