How much do entertainers and performers, sports and related workers, all other make?

What the national Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other median says

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the U.S. median for Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other at $18.82 per hour. Median means the middle. Half of the wage values used for this estimate fall below that point. Half fall above it. The median is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. It is one clear mark for the middle of a broad national pay range.

BLS also lists 16,550 wage and salary jobs for Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other. That count covers jobs in the survey's scope. It does not count open job ads. It also leaves out people who work for themselves. The wage and job counts share the same May 2025 reference point, so they can be read together without mixing time periods.

The Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other mean of $30.70 per hour is 63.1% above the $18.82 median on the same published median. Mean means BLS adds the wage values and divides the total by the number of jobs behind the estimate. A gap between mean and median shows that the shape is not even. It does not explain the cause of the gap.

The fields that make SOC 27-2099 its own page

BLS names this record Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other and gives it SOC 27-2099. The two-part code is the stable key for this page. A role with a close name keeps a different code, wage row, job count, and area pattern. WageScope never joins two SOC records because their words sound alike.

For SOC 27-2099, the U.S. row reports 16,550 wage and salary jobs. Its hourly median is $18.82 per hour. Its matching mean is $30.70 per hour. These facts come from one national row and one May 2025 release.

SOC 27-2099 appears in 33 state or territory rows. It also has 46 metro rows and 0 nonmetro rows. A missing local row stays missing. We do not fill it with U.S. data or data for a similar job code.

• SOC 27-2099 10th percentile: $14.48 per hour.
• SOC 27-2099 25th percentile: $17.17 per hour.

Read the Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other wage ladder from low to high

The 10th percentile is $14.48 per hour. The 25th percentile is $17.17 per hour. The median is $18.82 per hour. The 75th percentile is $29.83 per hour. The 90th percentile is $56.12 per hour. Each point marks a place in the same national wage spread.

A percentile is a rank point. It is not a career step. For example, the 10th percentile means 10% of wage values are at or below that mark. It does not mean a new worker starts there. The 90th percentile means 90% are at or below that mark. It does not mean a worker can reach it after a set number of years.

The middle half runs from $17.17 to $29.83 per hour. That span is $12.66. The full 10th-to-90th span is $41.64. These spans show why one median cannot stand in for every Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other job.

What the gaps around the Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other median show

The median is 30.0% above the 10th percentile. The 90th percentile is 198.2% above the median. The two sides do not have to match. A wider upper side can pull the mean up. A wider lower side can pull it down. The data shows the shape, but not the reason for that shape.

The 25th-to-median step is $1.65 per hour. The median-to-75th step is $11.01 per hour. These two steps give a closer look at the middle half. They are often more useful than a single top-to-bottom gap because they keep the center in view.

Use this ladder as a fact check when you read a job post. A posted range can sit below, near, or above these BLS marks. That does not make the post wrong. A job may differ by place, hours, level, field, employer, or work rules. Keep the posted range tied to that listing. Keep the BLS range tied to the whole occupation.

Metro areas with the highest published Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other medians

WageScope found 39 metro rows with the same published hourly median for Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other. It sorts only those rows. It does not fill a blank row. It does not turn a blank into zero. The first six rows below have the highest published medians in this release. The list is a wage rank, not a rank of places to live or work.

The first row is New Orleans-Metairie, LA, at $37.26 per hour. The middle metro row by published pay is Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL, at $20.00 per hour. That middle metro mark gives one more check on how far the top rows sit from a common place in the set.

These are nominal wages. Nominal means the dollar amount shown in the source. This list does not adjust for local price levels. It also does not tell us how many openings an area has now. Use a local page to see price-level context when an exact BEA row exists. Use the separate job block to inspect current employer-title matches.

Metro areas with the largest Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other job estimates

A large wage can appear in a small job market. A large job market can have a lower wage. That is why WageScope keeps pay and job count in separate views. The six rows below have the largest published employment estimates for Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other among metro rows in this release. Employment means the number of wage and salary jobs in scope. It does not mean open roles.

Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL has the largest listed metro estimate in this set, at 1,890 jobs. Its median is $17.17 per hour. Compare that with New Orleans-Metairie, LA, which leads the published median list. The leaders may match, or they may not. Each list answers a different question.

Job count can help you see the scale of a local labor market. It cannot show churn, new hiring, job quality, remote work, or the chance that one person will get hired. Current listings add a second view, but they are a dated sample of posts. WageScope never turns the listing count into a demand score.

• 1. Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL has 1,890 estimated Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other jobs. That is 11.4% of the U.S. estimate of 16,550 jobs.

Where Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other has a larger share of local jobs

Location quotient is a share check. A value of 1 means the role has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. A value above 1 means the local share is larger. A value below 1 means the local share is smaller. It is not a count. It is not a wage. It does not say that a place is growing.

Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV has the highest published location quotient in this bounded metro set, at 13.3. The same row lists 1,610 jobs and a median of $25.52 per hour. Reading all three values keeps a high share from being mistaken for a large market or high pay.

A small area can have a high location quotient because the role makes up a large part of a small local job base. A large area can have many workers and a lower quotient. Use the quotient to ask where the role is common in the mix. Use employment to ask how many jobs BLS estimated. Use the wage fields to ask what the published pay range looks like.

How Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other sits in Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, and Media

Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other is SOC 27-2099. BLS places it in the Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, and Media major group. Among 38 detailed roles in that group with a published hourly median, Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other ranks 37 of 38 by median. This is a pay rank inside one source family. It is not a rank of skill, value, status, or career fit.

The closest same-family medians help set a fair peer frame. They do not claim that the work is the same. Official SOC titles can cover different tasks and settings. WageScope uses the family only because BLS publishes that link. It does not infer a career move, a skill match, or a hiring path from the wage gap.

Use these peer rows to spot whether the $18.82 median sits near many family roles or far from them. Then open a role's own page before using its number. Each role has a different code, job count, wage spread, and place pattern. One family label does not erase those facts.

• 1. Merchandise Displayers and Window Trimmers, SOC 27-1026, has a U.S. median of $18.94 per hour. Its gap from Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other is $0.12 per hour.

How much care to use with the Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other estimate

The relative standard error for the job count is 8.7%. For the mean wage it is 5.8%. This measure, called RSE, shows survey precision. A smaller RSE often means less uncertainty from the sample. It does not tell you whether one person's pay is right or wrong.

The employment RSE applies to the 16,550 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE applies to the published mean of $30.70 per hour. These fields do not give a matching RSE for the median or each percentile. WageScope shows the fields BLS published and does not move one RSE to another measure.

Survey values can change when BLS changes its methods, sample, models, or source year. That is why we show May 2025 on this page. Before we use a new release, we check its files, rows, and pages. A changed number is only a correction if the source calls it one.

A simple way to compare Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other across places

First, compare the same wage metric. Use annual with annual or hourly with hourly. Next, check the source date. Keep May 2025 BLS rows together. Then read employment and location quotient beside pay. This stops a high median from standing in for market size or local share. Last, add BEA price-level context only when the exact place has an approved row.

A state, metro, and nonmetro area are not the same kind of map. Do not rank them in one list without saying so. WageScope groups like with like. It also keeps a national row as a broad bench mark. A local page can show the local row, its state row when that link is exact, and the U.S. row without blending them.

If a value is blank, keep it blank. If BLS marks a top code, read it as a lower bound. Do not fill a blank from a nearby place. Do not turn a wage gap into a claim about taxes, hours, benefits, work rules, or a household budget. Those facts are not in the OEWS row.

Move from Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other wage data to one real listing

The job block on this page uses a strict employer-title match for Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other. It may show fewer rows than the full MeritLog job search. That is on purpose. A false negative is safer here than a job card for a different role. Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. The cards do not change the BLS wage data.

Open one listing and read its own pay, work place, level, and needs. Compare its posted range with the BLS spread only as context. A posted range is set by an employer for one role. The BLS range is a survey view across many jobs. Neither source proves that a person is fit for the work.

When you tailor a résumé, use work facts you can back up. Do not turn $18.82 into a skill or result. Do not copy a BLS job count into your work history. MeritLog can help shape confirmed experience for a chosen listing. The wage page stays public and read only. It does not save a job or create a résumé on page load.

What this Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other page does not claim

This page does not say what one Entertainers and Performers, Sports and Related Workers, All Other worker earns. It does not promise that a job pays the median. It does not state a starting wage. It does not explain why the mean and median differ. It does not add benefits, tips, stock, bonus pay, taxes, or work hours unless BLS includes them in the published wage measure.

The page does not count people who work for themselves. It does not turn 16,550 into current openings. It does not read private MeritLog jobs or Career Memory. MeritLog does not use the page to build a private career profile. While public analytics are on, GA4, Ahrefs, and Meta may get this page's URL. Use Your Privacy Choices or Global Privacy Control to turn that off. The page does not send its text to a model.

The best use is narrow and clear. Read the May 2025 BLS wage range. Check how the role changes by place. Add the separate 2024 BEA price level when an exact row exists. Inspect a dated employer-title match. Then make a résumé choice from facts you have confirmed. Keep each source tied to the question it can answer.
