How Does This Compare to the UK?
Other Sales and Related Workers is the US equivalent of sales related occupations n.e.c. in the UK, which has a national median of £28,870.

What Affects Pay for Other Sales and Related Workers, and How to Use This Data When Negotiating
The figures above describe the market, not any one employer's ceiling. A few things generally explain where an individual lands within that range:
- Location: Pay for the same job title can vary by tens of thousands depending on region or state — see the location breakdown on this page for this specific role.
- Experience level: The gap between the 10th and 90th percentile mostly reflects years of experience and seniority within the role, rather than employer generosity alone.
- Employer size and sector: Larger organisations and higher-paying sectors tend to sit above the median for a given role; smaller employers and some non-profit or public-sector employers often sit below it.
- Qualifications and certifications: Professional qualifications relevant to a role can shift where someone lands within the percentile range, particularly in regulated or technical occupations.
- How common the role is: Roles with fewer people employed nationally tend to show wider pay variation than high-volume occupations, simply because the underlying sample is smaller and less standardised.
If you're using this page to prepare for a pay conversation, a few practical steps:
- Bring the actual percentile figures from this page into the conversation — a specific, sourced number ("the median for this role is £X") carries more weight than a general sense that you're underpaid.
- If you have several years of experience or a scarce skill set, anchor to the 75th percentile rather than the median — the median describes the middle of the market, not where an experienced hire should expect to land.
- Use the regional or state figure, not the national one, if your employer benchmarks pay nationally but you're based in a higher-paying area — the location breakdown above is the more relevant number to quote.
- Treat total compensation, not just base salary, as the real comparison — pension contributions, bonus structure and benefits can close a gap that base pay alone doesn't show.
- Time the conversation around a review cycle or a clear recent win, and bring both arguments — the market-rate evidence on this page and your own contribution — together rather than either alone.
Where This Data Comes From
The figures on this page come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OES) programme — a large-scale US government survey of employers, not a self-reported salary site or a jobs-board average of advertised (rather than actually paid) salaries. Figures are gross pay, before federal/state tax and FICA — gross pay is what's actually comparable across employers and states; take-home pay depends on each person's own tax situation and state of residence.
US occupations are classified under the US Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, matched to the closest UK SOC 2020 equivalent for the comparison elsewhere on this page — that pairing is our own editorial best match, not an official government cross-reference. See About & methodology for the full data-sourcing notes that apply across every page on this site.
