Start with the answer

Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers pay in Missouri and Ohio

The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers is $46,380 per year in Missouri. It is $36,210 per year in Ohio. Missouri is 28.1% above Ohio on the published median.

Both rows use SOC 41-9091 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.

BLS lists Not published wage and salary jobs in Missouri and 60 in Ohio. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.

Pay range

Compare the full Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers wage ladder

A median can hide a wide range. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile points show more of each area's spread. A percentile is a rank point. It is not a career stage. The 10th point does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th point does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years.

The lower half can differ from the upper half. One area can lead at the median and trail at another point. Read each field against the same field in the other area. Do not compare one area's 75th percentile with the other area's median. That would answer a different question.

A posted job range can sit below, across, or above these marks. That does not make the post wrong. A listing can differ by employer, level, hours, field, or work rules. Keep the listing tied to that employer. Keep the BLS range tied to the whole role-place row.

10th percentile: Missouri is $42,910 per year; Ohio is $35,400 per year. Missouri is 21.2% above Ohio at this point.
25th percentile: Missouri is $46,040 per year; Ohio is $35,400 per year. Missouri is 30.1% above Ohio at this point.
Median: Missouri is $46,380 per year; Ohio is $36,210 per year. Missouri is 28.1% above Ohio at this point.
75th percentile: Missouri is $82,270 per year; Ohio is $37,500 per year. Missouri is 119.4% above Ohio at this point.
90th percentile: Missouri is $113,810 per year; Ohio is $38,620 per year. Missouri is 194.7% above Ohio at this point.

Shape of pay

Mean and median tell two parts of the Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers story

Missouri has a mean of $65,600 per year and a median of $46,380. Ohio has a mean of $36,450 per year and a median of $36,210. Mean adds all wage values and splits the total by the number of jobs behind the estimate.

Missouri's mean is 41.4% above its median on the same published median. Ohio's mean is 0.7% above its median on the same published median. The gaps show that each wage spread has a shape. They do not explain why the shape differs.

Use median for the middle. Use mean to see how the full set pulls. Use percentiles to see more of the spread. None of the three is a pay promise. A person, team, or listing can sit far from all three for reasons that are outside these BLS rows.

Job scale

How the two Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers job bases differ

Missouri has Not published estimated Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers jobs. Ohio has 60. The larger count shows a larger covered job base in this source. It does not show more open roles, faster hiring, or a better chance for one applicant.

Missouri has Not published Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Ohio has 0.01 per 1,000. This rate helps compare places of different size. It is not a job-post rate and does not use the MeritLog catalog.

The employment RSE is Not published in Missouri and 48.4% in Ohio. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. It is not the chance that the job count or one person's pay is right.

Local share

Where Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers takes a larger share of jobs

The location quotient is Not published in Missouri and 0.65 in Ohio. A value of 1 means the role has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. A value above 1 means the local share is larger. A value below 1 means it is smaller.

A quotient gap is not available. That gap is about the job mix. It is not a wage gap, a job-count gap, or a growth claim.

Read location quotient with employment. A small place can have a high share and few jobs. A large place can have many jobs and a share near the national mark. Then read pay as its own field. The three measures do not form one score.

BEA price view

How price levels differ between Missouri and Ohio

BEA's 2024 all-items price index is 90.8 in Missouri and 92.8 in Ohio. The U.S. level is 100. A higher number means the broad local price level is higher than the national mark. It does not say a place is good or bad.

Housing is 69.9 in Missouri and 73.0 in Ohio. Goods are 96.3 and 93.7. Utilities are 79.4 and 95.8. Other services are 95.2 and 98.9. The parts can move in different ways.

The wage period is May 2025. The price period is 2024. WageScope keeps those clocks visible. It uses the all-items index for one clear proxy. It does not mix BEA prices into the BLS source row, and it does not claim the two releases describe the exact same month.

Price-level proxy

Compare the medians in national-price dollars

WageScope divides Missouri's $46,380 median by 90.8 divided by 100. The result is $51,070 per year. It divides Ohio's $36,210 median by 92.8 divided by 100. That result is $39,030 per year.

Missouri's proxy is 30.8% above Ohio's. The nominal gap is 28.1%. The order can stay the same or change after the price-level step. Both results must keep their labels.

The proxy is a narrow math tool. It is not take-home pay. It does not add taxes, benefits, household size, debt, commute, schools, safety, climate, or taste. It does not set a wage target. Use it to see how one broad price index changes the wage view, then check your own costs outside WageScope.

Same-proxy pay

What equal price-level pay would look like in the other place

$46,380 per year in Missouri has the same national-price-dollar proxy as $47,379 per year in Ohio. The math keeps Missouri's proxy fixed, then applies Ohio's all-items price index.

$36,210 per year in Ohio has the same proxy as $35,446 per year in Missouri. This reverse view is useful because the answer depends on which wage you start with. It is not a claim about an offer in either place.

Equivalent nominal pay uses one broad price measure. It does not know what a person buys. It does not know rent, family size, debt, taxes, travel, benefits, or savings. Treat the result as a clean source-backed comparison, not a full move plan or a number an employer must match.

Data care

Check the survey marks before you use the gap

The mean-wage RSE is 12.8% in Missouri and 3.2% in Ohio. The employment RSE is Not published and 48.4%. RSE is a precision flag for the field it sits beside. It is not a score for the whole page.

BLS does not publish the same RSE field for the median and each percentile. WageScope does not move a mean RSE to the median. It does not use an employment RSE as a wage care mark. Each value stays tied to its source field. Missing or top-coded values also keep their source state.

A later BLS or BEA release can change the result. MeritLog checks the official source clocks before promotion. The page cannot call its data current when a newer complete release is waiting for review. Current job cards have their own seen date and do not make the government data newer.

Use the result

A short check list for Missouri and Ohio

Start with the same Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers wage field. Then read the full percentile spread. Check job count, jobs per 1,000, and location quotient. Add the 2024 all-items and housing price levels. Read the national-price-dollar proxy with its limits. Keep the BLS and BEA dates in view.

Next, inspect one current employer-title match in each place when an exact public place match exists. A job post can show work level, hours, location rules, and pay that the BLS row cannot. The post is dated employer evidence. It does not change the survey median or prove a broad trend.

Last, use your own facts. Compare the job needs with work you have done and can support. A wage gap cannot show fit. A price-level gap cannot show fit. A job count cannot show fit. MeritLog's résumé path starts only after you choose a listing and confirm the work facts you want to use.

Limits

What this Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers comparison does not decide

The page does not choose Missouri or Ohio for you. It does not say what one worker earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the medians differ. It does not turn the larger wage, job count, quotient, or proxy into a place score.

The comparison leaves out people who work for themselves and other work outside the OEWS scope. It does not add taxes, take-home pay, benefits, stock, bonus pay, hours, travel, remote work, or a household budget. Current listings are separate and can be empty even when the government rows are complete.

Use this page for a bounded choice. Compare the same May 2025 BLS role and metric across two exact areas. Add the separate 2024 BEA price view. Inspect dated employer-title matches. Then build a résumé from facts you have confirmed. Keep each source tied to the question it can answer.
