Do Las Vegas residents in sales and related work earn more than employers in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV area pay?
Las Vegas residents working in sales and related occupations earn a median of $35,382 (Census ACS 5-year 2023, tables S2401 and B24011), against $46,985 as the median of the 18 wages BLS publishes for that same occupation group in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV area (BLS OEWS, May 2025), a difference of 25%, with the employers figure the higher of the two.
Both sides of that figure describe the whole sales and related group, not this one role. In the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV area the group covers 18 occupations BLS publishes a wage for, from cashiers at $29,360 to sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific products at $95,160 (BLS OEWS, May 2025), with first-line supervisors of retail sales workers at $46,500 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 18 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.
Published wages across this group in the metro run above what Las Vegas residents in it earn, which usually means employers here draw this talent from beyond the city line rather than from inside it.
