What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Oregon's middle earner gets $56,210, putting the state 10 of 51 — about 14.48% ahead of the national figure.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 308 among 489 occupations Oregon publishes pay for.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $56,210 the take-home is $42,977. But Oregon costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $41,039 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $57,320, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers, Oregon sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $56,210, ranking 10 of 51 and running about 14.48% 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.
- Position 308 of 489 in Oregon places first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Oregon income tax is $42,977 for first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers, from $56,210. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $41,039. ⚠️ 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 $57,320 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers in Oregon earn under $56,210 and half over. The published range runs $40,600 at the tenth percentile to $74,620 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Oregon's $42,977, worked from $56,210. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 308 of 489.
- One number stands for prices across all of Oregon, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $41,039, the adjusted value of that $56,210 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 308 of 489 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers in Oregon, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $40,600 to $74,620; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- The Oregon take-home of $42,977, on $56,210 for work ranking 308 of 489 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 308 of 489 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Oregon, so $41,039 — the adjusted value of that $56,210 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 308 of 489 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $40,600 and the top tenth $74,620, so most people doing this work in Oregon sit within a fairly tight band.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
Not on its own. Prices in Oregon run above the national level, so the same dollars buy less here. Adjusted for that, this pay is worth $41,039 — the wage did not change, only what it covers.
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, $42,977 remains.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($40,600 to $74,620) 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 $41,039 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 $42,977 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
