How much do retail salespersons make in San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX?

What the Retail Salespersons median says in San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Retail Salespersons median in San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX at $30,960 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 41-2031 and BLS area 41700.

BLS lists 27,580 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 $33,940 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX's Retail Salespersons median is 12.6% below the U.S. Retail Salespersons median of $35,410 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 41-2031 with area 41700

This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 41-2031 and area 41700. SOC 41-2031 names Retail Salespersons. Area 41700 names San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.

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 $27,900 per year to $36,550 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $22,140. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Where San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX sits for Retail Salespersons

San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX ranks 249 of 393 among metro areas with a published annual median for Retail Salespersons. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 249 of 393 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.

Where Retail Salespersons medians lead among metro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 41-2031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $44,220 per year. San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX sits at $30,960 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Retail Salespersons 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.

Where BLS counts the most Retail Salespersons jobs

New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Retail Salespersons in this same-source set, at 202,080 jobs. San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX has 27,580. 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.

Where Retail Salespersons takes the largest share of local jobs

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 Retail Salespersons 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.

How common Retail Salespersons is in San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX

BLS lists 27,580 Retail Salespersons jobs in San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX. It also lists 24.48 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 0.98. A value of 1 means Retail Salespersons 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.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX. 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 Retail Salespersons. 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.

The all-occupations job count is 1,126,880. 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 Retail Salespersons's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

Roles with the largest local share in San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX

Customer Service Representatives has the highest location quotient in the bounded San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX role table, at 1.85. Retail Salespersons has 0.98. 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 Retail Salespersons with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $30,960 may mean after the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX is 94.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $30,960 Retail Salespersons median by 94.7 divided by 100. The result is $32,687 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 94.6. Goods are 93.8. Utilities are 82.2. Other services are 96.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.

How much care to use with the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX row

The employment RSE for this Retail Salespersons row is 2.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 27,580 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $33,940 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 San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Retail Salespersons. It uses a San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX 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 $30,960 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 Retail Salespersons row for San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX 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 27,580 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.98 is not a growth score. Rank 249 of 393 is not a place score. The 94.7 price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 41-2031 in BLS area 41700. 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.
