What this pays, and what it is worth
- Oregon is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $50,730, which ranks 4 of 50 states with published figures. That is about 10.47% above the national middle.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 489 occupations Oregon reports figures for, this is number 350.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $50,730 the take-home is $39,053. But Oregon costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $37,292 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $52,130, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Oregon ranks 4 of 50 states publishing a median for interviewers, except eligibility and loan, at $50,730 — about 10.47% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- In Oregon's occupational distribution, interviewers, except eligibility and loan sits at 350 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 $39,053 for interviewers, except eligibility and loan, from $50,730. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $37,292. ⚠️ 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 $52,130 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $50,730 as a midpoint for Oregon, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $41,120 and the ninetieth is $62,210 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Oregon the take-home figure of $39,053, from $50,730, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 350 of 489 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Oregon, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $37,292, the adjusted value of that $50,730 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 350 of 489 in the state.
- The Oregon median of $50,730 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $41,120 to $62,210. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Oregon is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $39,053 from $50,730. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 350 of 489 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Oregon, so $37,292 — the adjusted value of that $50,730 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 350 of 489 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $41,120 and the top tenth $62,210, 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 $37,292 — 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, $39,053 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($41,120 to $62,210) 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 $37,292 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 $39,053 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
