Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers Salary and Pay

The national wage ladder (BLS OEWS, May 2024)

A percentile marks a point in this occupation's pay distribution: the worker one quarter of the way up the Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers ladder earns the 25th percentile wage, $28,870. BLS top-codes very high wages ($239,200+ a year, $115.00+ an hour) and marks estimates it cannot publish as n/p.

Employment and concentration

May 2024 employment stood at 21,930, or 0.01% of the U.S. total. California leads the state table with 3,660 jobs; the top three states sum to 34.7% of the occupation. The concentration measure tells the more interesting story: Nevada posts a location quotient of 12.66, so a worker there is far more likely to meet a colleague in this field than the national pattern suggests.

Read the ladder as a career path in numbers: $28,870 at the 25th percentile, $34,810 at the middle, $39,350 at the 75th. The full 10-to-90 range runs $26,380, a ratio of 2.2 to 1. Where a specific job offer lands on that range says more about the role's level than the occupation's headline median does.

Highest-paying metros (500+ jobs)

What the median pay looks like as a budget

The median Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers paycheck, gross, is $1,339 every two weeks on an annual $34,810, which is $2,901 a month and $669 a week. Moving from the 25th percentile ($28,870) to the 75th ($39,350) is worth $10,480 a year, which is the realistic size of the experience and specialization premium inside this occupation. Gross is a starting point, not a budget: the paycheck calculator nets it down by state, an offer comparison lives in the salary calculator, and the raise vs inflation calculator separates a real raise from a nominal one.

To place a real offer: a salary of $38,291 would sit between the median ($34,810) and the 75th percentile ($39,350), inside the top half but outside the top quarter of this occupation's ladder. An offer at the 25th percentile, $28,870, is $5,940 under the median, the typical size of the discount attached to entry-level or low-cost-market postings in this field.
