# The wage includes street vendors

A door to door sales salary in the United States is the BLS 2025 median O*NET reports for SOC 41-9091, Door-to-Door Sales Workers, News and Street Vendors, and Related Workers: $19.89 hourly and $41,380 annual, with employment of 50,900. The occupation includes street vendors and news sellers, so it is not a pure canvassing paycheck. Knockdesk is field sales software, and it will not paste this wage onto a knock.

## A knock is not the median

When a rep asks how much do door to door salesmen make, the published answer is this United States occupation median, not a canvassing-only paycheck. A d2d sales salary on your crew is the pay design you saved. The only math on this page is if you write a rate on the vendor file: confirmation pays ____. That number is not a national average, and Knockdesk will not insert the $19.89 median as a rate.

**The median.** The published middle of SOC 41-9091, including street vendors and news sellers.

**Your file.** Vendor rate at confirmation, then the org default. The product never invents a rate.

**Empty amount.** If neither exists, the amount stays empty. Residual only if a saved rate exists.

## News sellers share this wage

You feel it when a manager treats the occupation median as the paycheck for a canvassing-only turf. A door to door sales salary from this series counts street vendors and news sellers with the rest of the occupation. A pure canvassing series is not stated publicly. BLS does not publish a commission percentage to split the median into crew pay.
