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
Gambling Cage Workers pays $37,580 where the typical American job pays $50,020 — $12,440 a year short, or $5.98 an hour. That is a liveable wage in a cheap state and a difficult one in an expensive city, and nothing about the national figure tells you which you would be in.
Employment as Gambling Cage Workers is 14,430 nationally. At that size a large city holds a working market and a small one holds almost none, so where you live changes the number of employers available to you by an order of magnitude.
These roles suit people who want steady, structured work with money, and who find genuine satisfaction in a set of books that balance.
We carry no verified training length for Gambling Cage Workers — BLS reports pay, not preparation, and we will not estimate it.
Who should not do this
The quarters sit at $34,510 and $44,680, $847 a month apart at a ratio of 1.3x. Narrow enough that what you can expect is close to what everyone else gets.
Under $34,510 is where a quarter of this field sits, $15,510 beneath the $50,020 a typical American job pays. The risk in Gambling Cage Workers is not the average outcome, it is how long you might spend in the bottom quarter before leaving it.
Avoid it if you want a role software is not steadily absorbing; this one is.
There is no failure rate on this page because there is nothing honest to divide by. BLS counted 14,430 people employed as Gambling Cage Workers; it did not count the people who trained for it and are doing something else, and a rate built without that denominator would be a number we made up.
What the spread tells you
A 1.3x spread means the top quarter of Gambling Cage Workers is not doing a different job from the bottom quarter, just a slightly better-paid version of the same one. Between $34,510 and $44,680 is the whole of the negotiation.
The middle half of this field earns between $34,510 and $44,680. That is $10,170 of range, with $37,580 sitting inside it as the point half the field is above and half below.
Getting to $44,680, the 75th percentile, is worth $7,100 a year more than the $37,580 midpoint and $10,170 more than the $34,510 a quarter of Gambling Cage Workers settle for.
From $37,580 the drop to $34,510 is $3,070 and the climb to $44,680 is $7,100. When the upper half of the range is that much longer, the average is pulled well above the median — which is exactly why this site publishes the median.
On a 2,080-hour year the midpoint for Gambling Cage Workers is $18.06 an hour. The quarters sit at $16.59 and $21.48, and the all-occupation midpoint at $24.04.
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 Gambling Cage Workers for themselves is not in it, and there is no reason to assume $37,580 describes them.
The hourly number on this page is $37,580 divided by a 2,080-hour year and nothing more. We hold no unpaid-hours or cost data for Gambling Cage Workers, so it is arithmetic rather than an effective rate.
