Gambling Dealers pay in Ohio and Oregon
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Gambling Dealers is $40,710 per year in Ohio. It is $62,230 per year in Oregon. Ohio is 34.6% 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 640 wage and salary jobs in Ohio 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.
