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 should not do this
A quarter of Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers earn under $29,630 and a quarter over $41,530 — 1.4x, or $11,900 apart. Narrow spreads usually mean a pay schedule, which is stability bought at the price of upside.
The bottom quarter of Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers earns under $29,630 — $20,390 below the $50,020 national midpoint, or $14.24 an hour. A floor that low means the occupation cannot be judged on its median alone; a quarter of the people in it are somewhere else entirely.
Avoid it if you need scheduled hours; retail rosters are set late and change often.
No failure rate is shown, and the absence is deliberate: the 21,530 figure counts people already working as Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers, 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
$29,630 to $41,530 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.
