Gambling Dealers pay in Mississippi and Oregon
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Gambling Dealers is $28,250 per year in Mississippi. It is $62,230 per year in Oregon. Mississippi is 54.6% below Oregon on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 39-3011 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 2,730 wage and salary jobs in Mississippi and 350 in Oregon. 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.
