== Sales as a profession ==
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:
{{Cquote|Overall employment in sales occupations is projected to decline over the 2023–33 decade. However, about 1.8 million openings are projected each year, on average, in these occupations due to the need to replace workers who leave the occupations permanently.
The median annual wage for this group was $36,760 in May 2023, which was lower than the median annual wage for all occupations of $48,060.<ref>[https://www.bls.gov/ooh/sales/ Sales Occupations], U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics</ref>}}
(The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics includes cashiers as sales people which depresses the reported median annual wage. Many people do not consider cashiers to be salespeople although some cashiers attempt to upsell even though they typically receive no bonuses for these upsells)
