WageScope divides the published Cashiers median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 41-2011 and BLS area 23.
Questions, answered
Cashiers pay in Maine: common questions
What is the median wage for Cashiers in Maine?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $34,930 per year for Cashiers in Maine. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Cashiers pay higher in Maine than nationally?
Maine's published median was 6.2% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Maine?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 97.0 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.
How many Cashiers jobs does BLS estimate in Maine?
BLS published an employment estimate of 14,240 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.

Tailor for a real Cashiers job, not a generic wage number.
Pick an eligible listing, then MeritLog can help you prepare from experience you have confirmed. WageScope never turns a BLS estimate into a qualification or résumé claim.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cashiers median in Maine at $34,930 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 23.
BLS lists 14,240 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 $35,090 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Maine's Cashiers median is 6.2% above the U.S. Cashiers median of $32,880 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 41-2011 and area 23. SOC 41-2011 names Cashiers. Area 23 names Maine. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 41-2011/23 row reports 14,240 wage and salary jobs, 22.23 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.12 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 41-2011/23, the annual median is $34,930 per year, while the matching mean is $35,090 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 23 reports 640,610 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $65,780. Its annual median is $51,430. 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 Maine runs from $35,140 at the 10th percentile to $105,510 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $40,120. The median is $51,430. The 75th percentile is $76,230. 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 23. They do not show related skills or a path into Cashiers.
1. Area 23, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 18,630 jobs, $38,580 annual median, 29.08 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
2. Area 23, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 18,450 jobs, $36,640 annual median, 28.8 jobs per 1,000, and 1.15 location quotient.
3. Area 23, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 17,250 jobs, $34,710 annual median, 26.93 jobs per 1,000, and 1.09 location quotient.
4. Area 23, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 16,540 jobs, $86,990 annual median, 25.83 jobs per 1,000, and 1.19 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Maine wage ladder for Cashiers
The 10th percentile is $30,770 per year. The 25th percentile is $31,490 per year. The median is $34,930 per year. The 75th percentile is $36,810 per year. The 90th percentile is $38,890 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 $31,490 per year to $36,810 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $8,120. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Maine has a annual median of $34,930 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 Maine. Maine is 6.2% above 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 bench marks, 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.
Maine ranks 12 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 12 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.
9. Massachusetts has a Cashiers median of $35,520 per year, 58,880 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.81.
10. New York has a Cashiers median of $35,500 per year, 158,890 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.83.
11. Oregon has a Cashiers median of $35,300 per year, 37,660 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.96.
13. Rhode Island has a Cashiers median of $34,860 per year, 9,260 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.93.
14. Minnesota has a Cashiers median of $34,620 per year, 58,190 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.99.
Pay leaders
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. Maine sits at $34,930 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 care marks, 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 $3,950 above Maine. BLS lists 6,060 jobs there, compared with 14,240 in Maine. The location quotient is 0.43.
2. Washington has a Cashiers median of $38,720 per year, or $3,790 above Maine. BLS lists 61,050 jobs there, compared with 14,240 in Maine. The location quotient is 0.87.
3. California has a Cashiers median of $37,100 per year, or $2,170 above Maine. BLS lists 336,110 jobs there, compared with 14,240 in Maine. The location quotient is 0.93.
Job-base leaders
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. Maine has 14,240. 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 321,870 jobs from Maine. Its median is $37,100 per year, or $2,170 above Maine. Its location quotient is 0.93.
2. Texas has 245,730 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 231,490 jobs from Maine. Its median is $29,230 per year, or $5,700 below Maine. Its location quotient is 0.88.
3. Florida has 201,370 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 187,130 jobs from Maine. Its median is $30,530 per year, or $4,400 below Maine. Its location quotient is 1.02.
Local-share leaders
Where Cashiers takes the largest share of local jobs
Puerto Rico has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.46. Maine has 1.12. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Cashiers is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Puerto Rico has a location quotient of 1.46, a gap of 0.34 from Maine. BLS lists 27,320 Cashiers jobs and a median of $22,140 per year, or $12,790 below Maine.
2. South Dakota has a location quotient of 1.41, a gap of 0.29 from Maine. BLS lists 12,860 Cashiers jobs and a median of $29,780 per year, or $5,150 below Maine.
3. Iowa has a location quotient of 1.34, a gap of 0.22 from Maine. BLS lists 41,450 Cashiers jobs and a median of $28,970 per year, or $5,960 below Maine.
Job scale and share
How common Cashiers is in Maine
BLS lists 14,240 Cashiers jobs in Maine. It also lists 22.23 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 1.12. A value of 1 means Cashiers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher 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.
The all-occupations median in Maine is $51,430 per year. The Cashiers median is $34,930 per year. Cashiers is 32.1% 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 Maine. 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 Maine median of $34,710 per year. BLS lists 17,250 jobs and a location quotient of 1.09.
2. Food Preparation Workers, SOC 35-2021, has a Maine median of $36,030 per year. BLS lists 4,560 jobs and a location quotient of 1.24.
3. Childcare Workers, SOC 39-9011, has a Maine median of $36,350 per year. BLS lists 4,990 jobs and a location quotient of 2.33.
4. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Maine median of $36,640 per year. BLS lists 18,450 jobs and a location quotient of 1.15.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Maine
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Maine table, at 18,630 jobs. Cashiers has 14,240 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 640,610. 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. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 18,630 jobs in Maine, a gap of 4,390 from Cashiers. Its median is $38,580 per year, or $3,650 above Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.05.
2. Retail Salespersons has 18,450 jobs in Maine, a gap of 4,210 from Cashiers. Its median is $36,640 per year, or $1,710 above Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.15.
3. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 17,250 jobs in Maine, a gap of 3,010 from Cashiers. Its median is $34,710 per year, or $220 below Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.09.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Maine
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Maine role table, at $98,860 per year. Cashiers has $34,930 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $51,430 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $98,860 per year in Maine, or $63,930 above Cashiers. BLS lists 14,770 jobs, compared with 14,240 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $86,990 per year in Maine, or $52,060 above Cashiers. BLS lists 16,540 jobs, compared with 14,240 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.19.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has a median of $67,530 per year in Maine, or $32,600 above Cashiers. BLS lists 6,000 jobs, compared with 14,240 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.01.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Maine
Social and Human Service Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded Maine role table, at 2.54. Cashiers has 1.12. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Cashiers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Social and Human Service Assistants has a location quotient of 2.54 in Maine, a gap of 1.42 from Cashiers. BLS lists 4,580 jobs and a median of $47,710 per year, or $12,780 above Cashiers.
2. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 2.33 in Maine, a gap of 1.21 from Cashiers. BLS lists 4,990 jobs and a median of $36,350 per year, or $1,420 above Cashiers.
3. Carpenters has a location quotient of 1.87 in Maine, a gap of 0.75 from Cashiers. BLS lists 5,170 jobs and a median of $62,160 per year, or $27,230 above Cashiers.
Price-level view
What $34,930 may mean after the Maine price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Maine is 97.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $34,930 Cashiers median by 97.0 divided by 100. The result is $35,992 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 78.9. Goods are 97.2. Utilities are 135.2. Other services are 103.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Cashiers row is 3.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.7%. 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 14,240 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $35,090 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.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cashiers. It uses a Maine 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 $34,930 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.
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 14,240 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.12 is not a growth score. Rank 12 of 54 is not a place score. The 97.0 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 23. 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.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
