Cashiers in Ohio: 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 39.
What the Cashiers median says in Ohio
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cashiers median in Ohio at $29,260 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 39.
BLS lists 103,020 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 $30,160 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Ohio's Cashiers median is 11.0% 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 39
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 41-2011 and area 39. SOC 41-2011 names Cashiers. Area 39 names Ohio. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 41-2011/39 row has 103,020 wage and salary jobs. There are 18.56 for each 1,000 local jobs. The location quotient is 0.93. Each value stays under the same job and area codes.
For 41-2011/39, the annual median is $29,260 per year, while the matching mean is $30,160 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
- 41-2011/39 10th percentile: $23,600 per year.
- 41-2011/39 25th percentile: $26,940 per year.
- 41-2011/39 median: $29,260 per year.
- 41-2011/39 75th percentile: $33,490 per year.
- 41-2011/39 90th percentile: $36,250 per year.
- 41-2011/39 employment RSE: 2.4%. Mean-wage RSE: 0.5%.
- 41-2011/39 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
BLS area 39 facts behind this Cashiers page
Area 39 reports 5,550,180 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,390. Its annual median is $49,380. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 41-2011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Ohio runs from $29,210 at the 10th percentile to $106,800 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,820. The median is $49,380. The 75th percentile is $77,570. 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 39. They do not show related skills or a path into Cashiers.
- 1. Fast Food and Counter Workers. Area: 39. SOC: 35-3023. Jobs: 163,560. Yearly median: $28,430. Jobs per 1,000: 29.47. Location quotient: 1.19.

Read the Ohio wage ladder for Cashiers
The 10th percentile is $23,600 per year. The 25th percentile is $26,940 per year. The median is $29,260 per year. The 75th percentile is $33,490 per year. The 90th percentile is $36,250 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 $26,940 per year to $33,490 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $12,650. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Ohio with its state and the U.S.
Ohio has a annual median of $29,260 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 Ohio. Ohio is 11.0% 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 Ohio sits for Cashiers
Ohio ranks 36 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 36 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.
- 33. South Dakota. The Cashiers median is $29,780 per year. BLS estimates 12,860 jobs. The location quotient is 1.41.
- 34. Michigan. The Cashiers median is $29,740 per year. BLS estimates 92,930 jobs. The location quotient is 1.06.
- 35. Indiana. The Cashiers median is $29,670 per year. BLS estimates 68,350 jobs. The location quotient is 1.07.
- 37. Texas. The Cashiers median is $29,230 per year. BLS estimates 245,730 jobs. The location quotient is 0.88.
- 38. Pennsylvania. The Cashiers median is $29,220 per year. BLS estimates 110,950 jobs. The location quotient is 0.92.
- 39. Georgia. The Cashiers median is $29,070 per year. BLS estimates 97,540 jobs. The location quotient is 1.
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. Ohio sits at $29,260 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 $9,620 above Ohio. BLS lists 6,060 jobs there, compared with 103,020 in Ohio. The location quotient is 0.43.
- 2. Washington has a Cashiers median of $38,720 per year, or $9,460 above Ohio. BLS lists 61,050 jobs there, compared with 103,020 in Ohio. The location quotient is 0.87.
- 3. California has a Cashiers median of $37,100 per year, or $7,840 above Ohio. BLS lists 336,110 jobs there, compared with 103,020 in Ohio. The location quotient is 0.93.
- 4. Colorado has a Cashiers median of $36,870 per year, or $7,610 above Ohio. BLS lists 51,670 jobs there, compared with 103,020 in Ohio. 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. Ohio has 103,020. 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 233,090 jobs from Ohio. Its median is $37,100 per year, or $7,840 above Ohio. Its location quotient is 0.93.
- 2. Texas has 245,730 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 142,710 jobs from Ohio. Its median is $29,230 per year, or $30 below Ohio. Its location quotient is 0.88.
- 3. Florida has 201,370 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 98,350 jobs from Ohio. Its median is $30,530 per year, or $1,270 above Ohio. Its location quotient is 1.02.
- 4. New York has 158,890 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 55,870 jobs from Ohio. Its median is $35,500 per year, or $6,240 above Ohio. Its location quotient is 0.83.
- 5. Illinois has 139,630 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 36,610 jobs from Ohio. Its median is $34,490 per year, or $5,230 above Ohio. Its location quotient is 1.15.

- 8. North Carolina has 106,440 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 3,420 jobs from Ohio. Its median is $28,880 per year, or $380 below Ohio. Its location quotient is 1.08.
How common Cashiers is in Ohio
BLS lists 103,020 Cashiers jobs in Ohio. It also lists 18.56 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 0.93. A value of 1 means Cashiers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower 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 Ohio
The all-occupations median in Ohio is $49,380 per year. The Cashiers median is $29,260 per year. Cashiers is 40.7% 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 Ohio. 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 Ohio median of $28,430 per year. BLS lists 163,560 jobs and a location quotient of 1.19.

The largest detailed roles in Ohio
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Ohio table, at 163,560 jobs. Cashiers has 103,020 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 5,550,180. 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. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 163,560 jobs in Ohio, a gap of 60,540 from Cashiers. Its median is $28,430 per year, or $830 below Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.19.

Published role medians around Ohio
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Ohio role table, at $114,090 per year. Cashiers has $29,260 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,380 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 $114,090 per year in Ohio, or $84,830 above Cashiers. BLS lists 44,790 jobs, compared with 103,020 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 0.74.

- 8. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has a median of $64,220 per year in Ohio, or $34,960 above Cashiers. BLS lists 45,070 jobs, compared with 103,020 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 0.88.
What $29,260 may mean after the Ohio price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Ohio is 92.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.2% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $29,260 Cashiers median by 92.8 divided by 100. The result is $31,539 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 73.0. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 95.8. Other services are 98.9. 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 Ohio row
The employment RSE for this Cashiers row is 2.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. 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 103,020 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $30,160 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 Ohio wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cashiers. It uses a Ohio 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 $29,260 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 Ohio 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 103,020 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.93 is not a growth score. Rank 36 of 54 is not a place score. The 92.8 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 39. 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.
