Project Management Specialists salary in Oregon

Oregon's median wage for Project Management Specialists was $100,000 in 2024, just under the national median of $100,946. The gap is small enough to be statistical noise rather than a meaningful story about the state.

The spread across earners is more interesting. At the 10th percentile, the annual wage was $58,990. At the 90th, it reached $164,590. Top earners here make roughly 2.8 times what those starting out make. That kind of range shows up in occupations where seniority, industry, and scope of work vary a lot. A coordinator managing a single internal rollout and a director overseeing a multi-site infrastructure program both carry the same job title.

Oregon's cost-of-living index sits at 105.3, about 5% above the national baseline. That trims the purchasing power of the $100,000 median by a similar margin. In practical terms, the Oregon median buys a little less than the same dollar figure would in an average-cost state. The state and national medians are already close in nominal terms, so after accounting for local costs, Oregon trails the national figure by a noticeable amount.

BLS projects employment for Project Management Specialists to grow 5.6% between 2024 and 2034, a pace it classifies as faster than average. That outlook applies nationally. Oregon's 18,530 employed in this occupation in 2024 is a large base for a state its size, which suggests the role is well-established here across construction, tech, and public-sector work.
