# No occupation by that name

A field sales representative salary is not stated publicly. BLS has no occupation named field sales representative. The nearest outside and wholesale series is SOC 41-4012, Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products, with a BLS 2025 handbook median annual wage of $72,080. Knockdesk is field sales software, and it will not relabel that occupation to match the title on your roster.

## The handbook wage is not the deal amount

You feel it when the roster says field sales representative and payroll still needs a rate. Say it plainly: BLS has no occupation named field sales representative, so a field sales representative salary cannot be copied off a line with that title. The nearest series median annual wage is $72,080. The only math on this page is if you write a rate on the vendor file: the deal pays ____. That number is not a national average.

**The title.** Field sales representative is not a BLS occupation name. The nearest series is outside and wholesale sales.

**The deal.** Vendor rate at confirmation, then the org default. If neither exists, the amount stays empty.

**The residual.** Residual only if a saved rate exists. Knockdesk never invents a rate.

## Less than and more than stay in the sentence

The lowest 10 percent earned less than $39,090. The highest 10 percent earned more than $137,550. Those are handbook percentiles for SOC 41-4012, not pay for an occupation named field sales representative, and not a commission percent. The all-occupations median on that same handbook page is $50,980, so you can see the wholesale series beside every occupation. BLS does not publish a commission percentage.
