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

A median of $36,310 against the $50,020 all-occupation figure leaves Gambling Service Workers, All Other 27% behind — $13,710 across a year. Whether that is workable depends almost entirely on where you would be doing it.

Nationally 14,140 people do this. That is a real occupation with a thin local presence — enough that Gambling Service Workers, All Other is a career, not enough that you can assume a second employer down the road.

Entertainment attendant work suits people who like a venue on an event night and can handle crowds, and whose hours can follow a schedule set by a season rather than a week.

No verified preparation time is on file for Gambling Service 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

A quarter earn below $28,390 and a quarter above $46,330: a 1.6x ratio, $17,940 between the ends. That is an ordinary working spread, which also means experience and location explain most of it and there is no shortcut through the middle.

The bottom quarter of Gambling Service Workers, All Other earns under $28,390 — $21,630 below the $50,020 national midpoint, or $13.64 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 weekday hours; the work is at its busiest exactly when everyone else is off.

You will not find a "what share make it" figure here. 14,140 is a headcount of the employed, which is a numerator without a denominator — everyone who qualified and never got hired is missing from it, and we will not estimate them to complete a percentage.

What these figures are, and what they are not

The $36,310 figure is what employers pay employees. It is before tax and before deductions, it excludes the self-employed entirely, and it says nothing about anyone who does this work on their own account.

Treat the per-hour figure as a conversion. It assumes a flat full-time year against $36,310 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.
