What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Oklahoma pays stockers and order fillers a middle wage of $34,790, 46 of 51 states and about 6.8% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Oklahoma this is lower-paid work. Of 492 occupations the state publishes figures for, stockers and order fillers ranks 436. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Oklahoma is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $34,790 the take-home is $29,069; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $32,926 would nationally. The average comes to $35,640, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Oklahoma's $34,790 median for stockers and order fillers places it 46 of 51 states, about 6.8% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Against every occupation Oklahoma reports, stockers and order fillers ranks 436 of 492, in the lowest quartile of the state's distribution. That position is set by the local labor market and is independent of how the state compares nationally for this work.
- Post-tax income for stockers and order fillers in Oklahoma, on $34,790, is $29,069 — equivalent to $32,926 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $35,640 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Oklahoma earn less than $34,790. The published range is $28,440 up to $47,150, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Oklahoma the take-home figure of $29,069, from $34,790, 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 436 of 492 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $32,926 uses one figure for the whole of Oklahoma. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 492 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 436.
- Reported values are medians; for stockers and order fillers in Oklahoma the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $28,440 to $47,150. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Oklahoma is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $29,069 from $34,790. 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 436 of 492 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $32,926, worked from $34,790, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Oklahoma address, on work sitting at 436 of 492 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $28,440 and the top tenth $47,150, so most people doing this work in Oklahoma sit within a fairly tight band.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Oklahoma is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $32,926 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Oklahoma then takes its own share, leaving $29,069.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($28,440 to $47,150) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Oklahoma rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Oklahoma's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $32,926 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $29,069 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Oklahoma 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.
