Gambling Service Workers, All Other Salary and Pay

The national wage ladder (BLS OEWS, May 2024)

Percentiles answer the question a single average cannot: where would a given Gambling Service Workers, All Other offer sit among all 14,920 workers doing this job? The survey top-codes at $239,200+ and withholds unreliable cells, shown as n/p in the table.

Employment and concentration

May 2024 employment stood at 14,920, or 0.01% of the U.S. total. Minnesota leads the state table with 2,870 jobs; the top three states sum to 45.0% of the occupation. The concentration measure tells the more interesting story: Alaska posts a location quotient of 29.43, so a worker there is far more likely to meet a colleague in this field than the national pattern suggests.

The spread matters as much as the center. Earners at the 90th percentile make $56,740, which is 2.5 times the $22,880 at the 10th, a difference of $33,860 annually. Because the mean wage ($37,590) sits above the median ($34,530), a typical offer should be judged against the median and the 25th to 75th percentile band, not the mean.

Pay by state
