What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Oregon's middle earner gets $56,100, putting the state 6 of 48 — about 18.23% ahead of the national figure.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 489 occupations Oregon reports figures for, this is number 309.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $56,100 the take-home is $42,898. But Oregon costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $40,964 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is lower, $53,520, so pay clusters nearer the top than usual.
- For coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers, Oregon sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $56,100, ranking 6 of 48 and running about 18.23% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- In Oregon's occupational distribution, coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers sits at 309 of 489 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Oregon income tax is $42,898 for coin, vending, and amusement machine servicers and repairers, from $56,100. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $40,964. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $53,520 falls below the median, a left skew that is uncommon in wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $56,100 as a midpoint for Oregon, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $40,300 and the ninetieth is $65,930 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $42,898 take-home in Oregon comes from $56,100. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 309 of 489.
- One number stands for prices across all of Oregon, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $40,964, the adjusted value of that $56,100 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 309 of 489 in the state.
- The Oregon median of $56,100 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $40,300 to $65,930. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $42,898, from $56,100, assumes a single Oregon filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 309 of 489 locally, and the state ranks 6 of 48 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Oregon, so $40,964 — the adjusted value of that $56,100 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 309 of 489 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $53,520, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $40,300 and the top tenth $65,930, so most people doing this work in Oregon sit within a fairly tight band.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $40,964 of national purchasing power.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Oregon's own levy, $42,898 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 48 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Oregon is $53,520. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($40,300 to $65,930) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Oregon rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Oregon's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $40,964 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $42,898 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Oregon income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
