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 $36,300 against the $50,020 all-occupation figure leaves Locker Room, Coatroom, and Dressing Room Attendants 27% behind — $13,720 across a year. Whether that is workable depends almost entirely on where you would be doing it.
15,560 people work as Locker Room, Coatroom, and Dressing Room Attendants. That is enough for a functioning national market and not enough for a functioning local one — in most metros this is a few employers rather than a field you can move around inside.
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.
How long it takes to become one of the 15,560 people doing this is not something we have a source for. BLS counts and pays them; it does not record how they got there, and we would rather say so than guess.
Who should not do this
The middle half runs $31,200 to $43,880 — $1,056 a month between the quarters, a 1.4x ratio. Spreads this narrow are usually set by a grade or a scale, so the negotiation you are imagining probably is not available.
Under $31,200 is where a quarter of this field sits, $18,820 beneath the $50,020 a typical American job pays. The risk in Locker Room, Coatroom, and Dressing Room Attendants is not the average outcome, it is how long you might spend in the bottom quarter before leaving it.
Avoid it if you need consistent hours; the schedule follows the calendar of the venue, not your week.
There is no failure rate on this page because there is nothing honest to divide by. BLS counted 15,560 people employed as Locker Room, Coatroom, and Dressing Room Attendants; 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
Top quarter to bottom quarter is 1.4x. In a band that narrow, $36,300 is a genuinely representative number for Locker Room, Coatroom, and Dressing Room Attendants and the main variable left is where you live.
