What this pays, and what it is worth
- Oregon sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $60,790, ranking 18 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 489 occupations Oregon reports figures for, this is number 269.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $60,790, tax leaves $46,256 — and because Oregon is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $44,171 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $61,860, since top earners drag the number up.
- Oregon occupies the middle band for production, planning, and expediting clerks: a median of $60,790, ranking 18 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- In Oregon's occupational distribution, production, planning, and expediting clerks sits at 269 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.
- After tax, $46,256 remains from the Oregon median of $60,790 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $44,171 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $61,860 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $60,790 as a midpoint for Oregon, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $46,020 and the ninetieth is $80,700 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $46,256 take-home in Oregon comes from $60,790. 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 269 of 489.
- Two cautions on $44,171, the adjusted value of that $60,790 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 269 of 489 locally.
- The Oregon median of $60,790 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $46,020 to $80,700. 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 $46,256, from $60,790, 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 269 of 489 locally, and the state ranks 18 of 51 for it.
- This $44,171 adjusted figure, worked from $60,790, 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 269 of 489 in the state. The occupation ranks 269 of 489 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $46,020 at the bottom tenth to $80,700 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 $44,171 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, $46,256 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 ($46,020 to $80,700) 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 $44,171 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 $46,256 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.
