Security Guards salary in Maine

Salary range
| Measure | Annual |
|---|---|
| 25th percentile | $34,760 |
| Median (50th percentile) | $39,100 |
| 75th percentile | $45,360 |
| Mean | $41,390 |
The middle half of workers earned from $34,760 to $45,360 a year. Employment size matters too. A field with many workers in a state usually means more openings and more room to move employers without moving states. A small field can pay well but offer fewer ways in.
