Employment and concentration
With 2,160 jobs nationally, Logging Workers, All Other make up 0.00% of U.S. employment as BLS measured it in May 2024. The map is uneven: Oregon alone holds 700 of those jobs, the top three states hold 60.6%, and the deepest concentration sits in Oregon (location quotient 25.31, where 1.00 is the national average). A quotient above 2 usually signals a local industry cluster rather than evenly spread demand.
Pay inside the occupation is wide: $34,810 separates the ends of its ladder. The 90th percentile ($72,070) is 1.9 times the 10th percentile ($37,260), a gap of $34,810 a year. The mean of $53,820 sitting above the median of $52,000 tells you the top end pulls the average up: most workers cluster below the mean, and the high tail is thin.
