How pay is spread in Oregon

By median pay, Oregon is number 11 of the 54 states and territories in the figures. The lowest-paid tenth of employees earned less than $35,680 a year and the highest-paid tenth more than $129,520. The middle half, between the 25% and 75% lines, earned from $42,690 to $83,070. For the whole country those outer lines were $31,200 and $128,560. The average (mean) pay was $72,460, 27% above the median, because high earners lift an average more than a median. The 1,967,130 jobs counted here are 1.3% of all jobs in the national figures.

The kinds of work

Adding up the occupations with a published job count, the largest fields of work in Oregon are Office and Administrative Support (214,850 jobs, 11%), Food Preparation and Serving Related (182,740 jobs, 9%), Transportation and Material Moving (171,220 jobs, 9%) and Sales and Related (156,910 jobs, 8%). Some occupations are far more common here than elsewhere. Set against their share of all jobs in the country, the most concentrated are Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other (30.0 times the national share), Logging Workers, All Other (27.2 times the national share) and Semiconductor Processing Technicians (16.6 times the national share). The table on this page lists 742 occupations; for 20 of them the Bureau released a job count but no pay figure.

Same job, different pay

Among the 322 occupations with at least 1,000 jobs and a yearly median in the state, 234 pay more than the same occupation does nationally, 46 pay less and 42 are within 2%. The widest gaps above the national median are for Hairdressers, Hairstylists, and Cosmetologists ($57,580 here, $35,790 nationally), Electricians ($101,310 here, $63,190 nationally) and Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters ($97,050 here, $63,800 nationally). The widest gaps below it are for Web Developers ($64,460 here, $92,650 nationally), Fundraising Managers ($103,870 here, $125,470 nationally) and Computer Occupations, All Other ($97,350 here, $116,580 nationally). A gap in pay is not a gap in living standard: prices, housing costs and taxes differ between states, and these statistics do not adjust for them.
