Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers (SOC 41-2012) has a national median of $36,220 per year in the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics May 2025 release. The published 10th-to-90th-percentile boundaries run from $24,460 to $60,330, and the published mean is $39,100. Those summary statistics describe the estimated distribution; their difference alone does not identify its cause. OEWS estimates 21,530 jobs in covered establishments nationally. WageDex has published rows for 34 state or territory areas and 64 metropolitan or nonmetropolitan wage areas. The published national median moved from $34,810 in the May 2024 OEWS release to $36,220 in May 2025, a rise of $1,410 (+4.1%). This is a change between two BLS survey estimates, not an inflation-adjusted same-worker pay raise.
BLS Employment Projections forecast a -6.4% change in employment from 2024 to 2034, which we classify as declining relative to the all-occupations baseline of 3.1%. About 4,000 openings are projected per year from growth, occupational transfers, and labor-force exits. BLS assigns No formal educational credential as typical education needed for entry, and BLS classifies its typical on-the-job preparation as short-term on-the-job training. BLS does not publish a separate occupation-specific fatality and injury rate for this role in the current release. The safety panel below shows its broad Sales and Related Occupations SOC-group context and is not an occupation-level measurement or ranking.
Geographic variation matters as much as the headline median. Arizona pays the highest state median at $63,400, which is +75% above the national figure. The highest published metropolitan-area median in this ranking is Tucson, AZ at $62,500. The observed difference does not identify its cause. Pair the national median with the state and metropolitan-area rows below while keeping the geography and statistic consistent. OEWS includes tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses, but not employer benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, or nonproduction bonuses.

Across the 11 releases WageDex holds for this occupation, the published national median went from $22,930 in May 2015 to $36,220 in May 2025. Within the SOC-2018 classification (2019–2025), the like-for-like change averages +5.9% per year in nominal terms. Within the same SOC classification, estimated employment went from 21,290 in May 2019 to 21,530 in May 2025.
Each figure is a separate BLS survey estimate, so a change between releases reflects the estimated occupation-wide median in each year. It is not the raise any individual worker received, and it is not adjusted for inflation. Years where BLS did not publish an annual median for this occupation are omitted rather than filled in. This span also crosses a classification change: releases before May 2019 use the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification and later releases use the 2018 SOC, so figures either side of that boundary are not strictly like-for-like. Headline change rates on this page use only the same-classification subset.
