Cashiers in Florida: wage guide
Use the local pay range, same-source pay figures, job scale, price level, and survey limits as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 41-2011 and BLS area 12.
What the Cashiers median says in Florida
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cashiers median in Florida at $30,530 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 41-2011 and BLS area 12.
BLS lists 201,370 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $32,170 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Florida's Cashiers median is 7.1% below the U.S. Cashiers median of $32,880 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.
Read source key 41-2011 with area 12
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 41-2011 and area 12. SOC 41-2011 names Cashiers. Area 12 names Florida. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 41-2011/12 row has 201,370 wage and salary jobs. There are 20.28 for each 1,000 local jobs. The location quotient is 1.02. Each value stays under the same job and area codes.
For 41-2011/12, the annual median is $30,530 per year, while the matching mean is $32,170 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
- 41-2011/12 10th percentile: $27,690 per year.
- 41-2011/12 25th percentile: $28,650 per year.
- 41-2011/12 median: $30,530 per year.
- 41-2011/12 75th percentile: $34,840 per year.
- 41-2011/12 90th percentile: $37,650 per year.
- 41-2011/12 employment RSE: 2.6%. Mean-wage RSE: 0.6%.
- 41-2011/12 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
BLS area 12 facts behind this Cashiers page
Area 12 reports 9,929,860 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,670. Its annual median is $47,880. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 41-2011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Florida runs from $30,010 at the 10th percentile to $114,550 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,290. The median is $47,880. The 75th percentile is $75,410. This is a place check, not a pay range for Cashiers.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 12. They do not show related skills or a path into Cashiers.
- 1. Retail Salespersons. Area: 12. SOC: 41-2031. Jobs: 333,460. Yearly median: $34,010. Jobs per 1,000: 33.58. Location quotient: 1.34.
- 2. General and Operations Managers. Area: 12. SOC: 11-1021. Jobs: 236,290. Yearly median: $101,580. Jobs per 1,000: 23.8. Location quotient: 1.06.
- 3. Fast Food and Counter Workers. Area: 12. SOC: 35-3023. Jobs: 235,400. Yearly median: $29,080. Jobs per 1,000: 23.71. Location quotient: 0.96.

Read the Florida wage ladder for Cashiers
The 10th percentile is $27,690 per year. The 25th percentile is $28,650 per year. The median is $30,530 per year. The 75th percentile is $34,840 per year. The 90th percentile is $37,650 per year.
A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $28,650 per year to $34,840 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $9,960. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Florida with its state and the U.S.
Florida has a annual median of $30,530 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $32,880 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Florida. Florida is 7.1% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are benchmarks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Where Florida sits for Cashiers
Florida ranks 27 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Cashiers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 27 of 54 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
- 24. Wisconsin. The Cashiers median is $30,880 per year. BLS estimates 65,380 jobs. The location quotient is 1.12.
- 25. Wyoming. The Cashiers median is $30,810 per year. BLS estimates 5,840 jobs. The location quotient is 1.05.
- 26. Virginia. The Cashiers median is $30,580 per year. BLS estimates 83,890 jobs. The location quotient is 1.03.
- 28. Missouri. The Cashiers median is $30,520 per year. BLS estimates 69,430 jobs. The location quotient is 1.19.
- 29. Idaho. The Cashiers median is $30,370 per year. BLS estimates 17,200 jobs. The location quotient is 1.01.
- 30. Nebraska. The Cashiers median is $30,250 per year. BLS estimates 20,650 jobs. The location quotient is 1.01.
Where Cashiers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 41-2011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. District of Columbia has the highest published median in this set, at $38,880 per year. Florida sits at $30,530 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Cashiers is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
- 1. District of Columbia has a Cashiers median of $38,880 per year, or $8,350 above Florida. BLS lists 6,060 jobs there, compared with 201,370 in Florida. The location quotient is 0.43.
- 2. Washington has a Cashiers median of $38,720 per year, or $8,190 above Florida. BLS lists 61,050 jobs there, compared with 201,370 in Florida. The location quotient is 0.87.
- 3. California has a Cashiers median of $37,100 per year, or $6,570 above Florida. BLS lists 336,110 jobs there, compared with 201,370 in Florida. The location quotient is 0.93.
- 4. Colorado has a Cashiers median of $36,870 per year, or $6,340 above Florida. BLS lists 51,670 jobs there, compared with 201,370 in Florida. The location quotient is 0.9.

Where BLS counts the most Cashiers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Cashiers in this same-source set, at 336,110 jobs. Florida has 201,370. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
- 1. California has 336,110 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 134,740 jobs from Florida. Its median is $37,100 per year, or $6,570 above Florida. Its location quotient is 0.93.
- 2. Texas has 245,730 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 44,360 jobs from Florida. Its median is $29,230 per year, or $1,300 below Florida. Its location quotient is 0.88.
- 3. Florida has 201,370 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 0 jobs from Florida. Its median is $30,530 per year, or $0 above Florida. Its location quotient is 1.02.

- 8. North Carolina has 106,440 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 94,930 jobs from Florida. Its median is $28,880 per year, or $1,650 below Florida. Its location quotient is 1.08.
How common Cashiers is in Florida
BLS lists 201,370 Cashiers jobs in Florida. It also lists 20.28 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 1.02. A value of 1 means Cashiers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Cashiers beside other roles in Florida
The all-occupations median in Florida is $47,880 per year. The Cashiers median is $30,530 per year. Cashiers is 36.2% below the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Florida. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Cashiers. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
- 1. Fast Food and Counter Workers, SOC 35-3023, has a Florida median of $29,080 per year. BLS lists 235,400 jobs and a location quotient of 0.96.

The largest detailed roles in Florida
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Florida table, at 333,460 jobs. Cashiers has 201,370 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 9,929,860. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Cashiers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
- 1. Retail Salespersons has 333,460 jobs in Florida, a gap of 132,090 from Cashiers. Its median is $34,010 per year, or $3,480 above Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.34.
- 2. General and Operations Managers has 236,290 jobs in Florida, a gap of 34,920 from Cashiers. Its median is $101,580 per year, or $71,050 above Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.06.

Published role medians around Florida
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Florida role table, at $130,980 per year. Cashiers has $30,530 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,880 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
- 1. Software Developers has a median of $130,980 per year in Florida, or $100,450 above Cashiers. BLS lists 87,890 jobs, compared with 201,370 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 0.82.

What $30,530 may mean after the Florida price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Florida is 103.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.4% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $30,530 Cashiers median by 103.4 divided by 100. The result is $29,522 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 122.1. Goods are 98.1. Utilities are 90.1. Other services are 101.3. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
How much care to use with the Florida row
The employment RSE for this Cashiers row is 2.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 201,370 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $32,170 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
Use Florida wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cashiers. It uses a Florida place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $30,530 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
What the Cashiers row for Florida does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 201,370 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.02 is not a growth score. Rank 27 of 54 is not a place score. The 103.4 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 41-2011 in BLS area 12. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
