Gambling Cage Workers pay in Missouri and New York
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Gambling Cage Workers is $36,560 per year in Missouri. It is $48,340 per year in New York. Missouri is 24.4% below New York on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 43-3041 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 220 wage and salary jobs in Missouri and 290 in New York. 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.
