Reservation and Transportation Ticket Agents and Travel Clerks pay in Maine and Michigan
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Reservation and Transportation Ticket Agents and Travel Clerks is $40,700 per year in Maine. It is $60,220 per year in Michigan. Maine is 32.4% below Michigan on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 43-4181 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 410 wage and salary jobs in Maine and 1,980 in Michigan. 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.
