What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Oregon pays this job a middle wage of $58,240, ranking 5 of 51 states and sitting about 19.86% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 290 among 489 occupations Oregon publishes pay for.
- Oregon is an expensive state, and the adjusted figure shows it. From $58,240 the take-home is $44,430; in national-average money that behaves like $42,427. The average lands at $56,620, below the middle of the range.
- Oregon's median for first-line supervisors of personal service workers is $58,240, about 19.86% above the national figure and 5 of 51 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Position 290 of 489 in Oregon places first-line supervisors of personal service 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.
- Take-home for first-line supervisors of personal service workers in Oregon, on $58,240, is $44,430; deflated by the state's price level, $42,427. ⚠️ The deflator is statewide, so it understates the erosion in the state's metropolitan areas and overstates it outside them. At $56,620 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Oregon earn less than $58,240. The published range is $44,370 up to $68,840, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Oregon's $44,430, worked from $58,240. 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 290 of 489.
- Two cautions on $42,427, the adjusted value of that $58,240 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Oregon. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 290 of 489 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for first-line supervisors of personal service workers in Oregon the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $44,370 to $68,840. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Oregon take-home of $44,430, on $58,240 for work ranking 290 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 290 of 489 in the state.
- This $42,427 adjusted figure, worked from $58,240, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 290 of 489 in the state. The occupation ranks 290 of 489 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $44,370 and the top tenth $68,840, 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 $42,427 — 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, $44,430 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 ($44,370 to $68,840) 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 $42,427 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 $44,430 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.
