Hiring a door-to-door sales worker in Frisco, TX

Do Frisco residents in sales and related work earn more than employers in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX area pay?

Frisco residents working in sales and related occupations earn a median of $82,921 (Census ACS 5-year 2023, tables S2401 and B24011), against $49,330 as the median of the 21 wages BLS publishes for that same occupation group in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX area (BLS OEWS, May 2025), a difference of 68%, with the residents figure the higher of the two.

Both sides of that figure describe the whole sales and related group, not this one role. In the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX area the group covers 21 occupations BLS publishes a wage for, from cashiers at $29,910 to sales engineers at $133,280 (BLS OEWS, May 2025), with door-to-door sales workers, news and street vendors, and related workers at $49,330 inside it.

That comparison is between two different measures, not a pay gap. The two weight the same occupation group differently: the Census figure is the midpoint across the people who actually hold those jobs, so a group carrying a few very well paid occupations is pulled toward them, while the BLS figure is the midpoint across the 21 published occupation wages, which counts each of those occupations once whatever its headcount. Census also counts where people live and BLS counts where the jobs are, and the two cover different populations, Census the civilian employed population 16 and over, BLS wage-and-salary jobs only. Read the number against other cities, where the same definitional difference applies on both sides, rather than as a shortfall.

Residents here out-earn the midpoint of what the metro pays across this group, which usually points to people commuting out to better-paying employers. Expect a Frisco offer in this field to compete with a drive, not only with the firm down the road.
