Where Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA sits for Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers

Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA ranks 5 of 8 among metro areas with a published annual median for Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 5 of 8 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.

Roles with the largest local share in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA

Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA role table, at 23.68. Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers has 4.4. 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 Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $39,970 may mean after the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA is 105.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.4% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $39,970 Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers median by 105.4 divided by 100. The result is $37,915 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 125.1. Goods are 105.2. Utilities are 107.0. Other services are 100.1. 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 Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA row

The employment RSE for this Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers row is 40.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.5%. 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 90 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $40,910 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 Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers. It uses a Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA 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 $39,970 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 Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers row for Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA 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 90 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 4.4 is not a growth score. Rank 5 of 8 is not a place score. The 105.4 price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 41-9091 in BLS area 38900. 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.
