What this pays, and what it is worth
- Oregon is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $84,920, which ranks 4 of 46 states with published figures. That is about 28.14% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 134 among 489 occupations Oregon publishes pay for.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $84,920, tax leaves $61,691 — and because Oregon is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $58,910 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $86,210, since top earners drag the number up.
- Oregon ranks 4 of 46 states publishing a median for probation officers and correctional treatment specialists, at $84,920 — about 28.14% 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.
- Position 134 of 489 in Oregon places probation officers and correctional treatment specialists 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.
- After tax, $61,691 remains from the Oregon median of $84,920 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $58,910 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $86,210 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $84,920 as a midpoint for Oregon, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $62,960 and the ninetieth is $107,400 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Oregon the take-home figure of $61,691, from $84,920, 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 134 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 $58,910, the adjusted value of that $84,920 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 134 of 489 in the state.
- The Oregon median of $84,920 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $62,960 to $107,400. 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 $61,691 from $84,920. 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 134 of 489 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Oregon, so $58,910 — the adjusted value of that $84,920 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 134 of 489 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $62,960 at the bottom tenth to $107,400 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $58,910 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, $61,691 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 46 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 ($62,960 to $107,400) 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 $58,910 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 $61,691 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 46 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
