What this figure cannot tell you
It covers people EMPLOYED in this occupation. Anyone who trained for it and was never hired is not in the median above, and neither is anyone doing the work self-employed. No verified count of qualified people exists for this occupation, so this page shows none rather than an estimate. Why that matters · The occupations where we could source it
Who this suits
Entertainment Attendants and Related Workers, All Other pays $32,640 against $50,020 for the typical American job — $17,380 a year, or $8.35 an hour, of difference. A gap that size has to be worth something to you that is not money, and it has to keep being worth it.
With 7,060 employed nationally, Entertainment Attendants and Related Workers, All Other is a small occupation. Small occupations are quiet: few postings, slow turnover, and a real chance that the person you would replace is not going anywhere.
This work suits people who like a venue full of people and can keep a crowd moving safely, in hours set by the event rather than by a working week.
No verified preparation time is on file for Entertainment Attendants and Related Workers, All Other. The wage survey behind every figure on this page asks employers what they pay, not what they required, so the honest answer here is that we do not know.
Who should not do this
Between $26,790 and $38,740 there is $11,950, a ratio of 1.4x. Tight distributions are predictable, and predictable cuts both ways: little risk of being badly underpaid, little prospect of doing much better.
A quarter of the field earns below $26,790, which is $12.87 an hour over a full-time year and $23,230 short of the $50,020 national midpoint. Assume that is your starting position and check whether the arithmetic works from there.
Avoid it if you need weekday hours; the work is at its busiest exactly when everyone else is off.
No failure rate is shown, and the absence is deliberate: the 7,060 figure counts people already working as Entertainment Attendants and Related Workers, All Other, not everyone who trained and never got hired. Without a licensing register to divide by, a rate here would be an invented denominator.
What the spread tells you
$26,790 to $38,740 is a 1.4x range. Ranges this tight usually mean the employer set is homogeneous — the same kind of organisation paying the same kind of scale — so the lever you have is geography rather than employer.
The middle half of this field earns between $26,790 and $38,740. That is $11,950 of range, with $32,640 sitting inside it as the point half the field is above and half below.
Getting to $38,740, the 75th percentile, is worth $6,100 a year more than the $32,640 midpoint and $11,950 more than the $26,790 a quarter of Entertainment Attendants and Related Workers, All Other settle for.
$5,850 down to $26,790, $6,100 up to $38,740: the midpoint of Entertainment Attendants and Related Workers, All Other is centred in its own middle half. That symmetry is why the median and the average would say much the same thing here, which is not true of most pages on this site.

What these figures are, and what they are not
This is payroll data: it comes from employers, about people they employ. Anyone doing the work of Entertainment Attendants and Related Workers, All Other for themselves is not in it, and there is no reason to assume $32,640 describes them.
Treat the per-hour figure as a conversion. It assumes a flat full-time year against $32,640 because we have no verified record of unpaid hours or out-of-pocket costs for this work, and we would rather convert honestly than adjust invented ones.
