550+ Retail Jobs in Salt Lake City, UT

Government data says typical frontline retail pay is still modest. BLS puts local retail salesperson pay at about $16 per hour, with most workers in about a $13 to $18 per hour band. A broader sales-and-related average of $26.43 per hour exists in the metro, but that figure includes higher-paid specialty and supervisory roles and should not be read as normal cashier or store-associate pay. Posting-based signals run higher because they mix in leads, managers, club formats, and specialty counters: local hourly-paid postings center on about $15 to $17 per hour, while annual salary postings center on about $58k to $73k. Fresh Murray examples span from Nordstrom at $13.55/hour plus commission to TravisMathew at $18.30–$20.15/hour, Sam’s Club at $22.00–$30.00/hour, Transformer Table at $24.04–$25.50/hour plus incentives, and Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain at $30.50/hour plus potential incentive pay.

What our analysts see this month

Balanced market | next 3-6 months

This is an active but selective retail market. Salt Lake City-Murray had 862 thousand total nonfarm jobs in June 2026, up 2.7291% year-over-year, and Trade, Transportation, and Utilities employment rose 1.3793%, which supports ongoing store-level hiring. Retail opportunity is broad rather than concentrated, with more than 650 local postings across more than 200 companies over the last 90 days, but statewide retail postings were down 5.7% year-over-year in August 2026 even as Utah retail employment was essentially flat. For most frontline jobs, local pay still centers on about $15 to $17 an hour, and BLS places typical retail salesperson pay around about $16 per hour, even though some current specialty or lead openings advertise much more.

Best positioned: Candidates who can work on-site, show customer service, inventory management, and cash-handling experience, and accept evening or Saturday coverage have the best odds right now.

Main caution: Do not treat the higher posted salary bands as standard frontline pay; those ranges are pulled up by supervisors and specialty roles, while typical retail salesperson wages still sit in the mid-teens hourly locally.

Where the demand is

Real opportunity is spread across a long tail of employers, not one dominant chain. Over the last 90 days, the market showed more than 650 retail postings across more than 200 companies, and hiring was fragmented across employers rather than dominated by a single brand. The most consistently active names included Holiday Oil Company, AutoZone, Inc., Cafe Zupas, Gamestop, SKECHERS USA, Inc., FashionUnited, Spirit Halloween, and Tailored Brands. At the neighborhood level, the clearest live cluster is Murray itself. Recent local roundups identified Fashion Place as a continuing hiring hotspot and also highlighted activity on South State Street, with openings at Nordstrom, TravisMathew, Transformer Table, Sprouts Farmers Market, Sam’s Club, Flower Patch, and Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain. That matters because it points to practical job-search geography: mall apparel and specialty stores, grocery, warehouse-club retail, and neighborhood stores are all producing openings at the same time. Most of this market is still built for in-person, early-career applicants. About 75% of postings are entry level, about 20% are mid-level, and about 95% or more are on-site, with less than 5% hybrid and less than 5% remote. That makes the market better for job seekers who can start quickly and cover shifts than for people holding out for remote, senior, or highly specialized roles.

• Mall and specialty retail around Fashion Place (high): Fashion Place keeps surfacing as a local hiring hotspot, with recent openings at Nordstrom, TravisMathew, and Transformer Table, and pay examples ranging from $13.55/hour plus commission to $24.04–$25.50/hour plus incentives.
• Grocery and warehouse-club retail (high): Sprouts Farmers Market and Sam’s Club were both flagged in recent Murray openings, including full-time roles, bonus eligibility, and pay up to $22.00–$30.00/hour plus possible shift premiums.
• Convenience, auto-parts, and service-counter formats (moderate): Among the most consistently active employers in the local posting sample were Holiday Oil Company and AutoZone, Inc., which suggests steady demand in everyday-needs retail and service-counter environments.
• Lead, supervisory, and specialty-store roles (moderate): The local posting mix includes about 10% lead+ openings, and the annual salary bands in postings center on about $58k to $73k, but these roles are a minority of the market.

Where to focus: Focus first on on-site employers around Fashion Place and South State Street, but prioritize roles that combine sales with inventory, merchandising, or store-ops responsibility instead of cashier-only work.

Roles worth searching next

• Field merchandiser: A recent Murray brief included a merchandising-style role within 20 miles of 84107, and the overlap with shelf resets, displays, inventory, and store visits is strong.
• Customer service representative: Retail experience maps well into issue resolution, product explanation, repeat-customer handling, and service recovery, and national midpoint salaries for customer service reps sit at $42,750.
• Call center representative: The same customer-facing skills carry over, and national midpoint pay for call center representatives is $44,500.
• Inventory coordinator: Local retail postings lean heavily on inventory management and inventory control, which makes store-side operations a natural next category for people who like accuracy more than selling.

What postings ask for

• Inventory management (table_stakes | immediate): It was the most-requested hard skill in local retail postings at about 30%, which shows employers want people who can receive, restock, count, and keep shelves accurate, not just greet customers. Who: Everyone, especially entry-level applicants who need to look more useful than a cashier-only candidate.
• Customer service and customer experience (table_stakes | immediate): Customer service appeared in about 25% of local postings, and broader retail research says the more durable in-store roles are shifting toward customer experience and relationship-building. Who: Entry-level applicants, career switchers from hospitality, and anyone targeting specialty sales.
• Cash handling and POS/register operation (table_stakes | immediate): Cash handling showed up in about 20% of local postings and cash register operation in about 10%, so even non-cashier roles often expect accurate front-end coverage. Who: Entry-level and career-switching applicants who need a fast proof-of-readiness skill.
• Visual merchandising and merchandising (differentiator | immediate): Visual merchandising and merchandising each appeared in about 15% of local postings, and a recent Murray opening also pointed to merchandising-style work nearby, making this a real way to stand out beyond basic sales-floor experience. Who: Applicants aiming for apparel, home, gift, seasonal, or field-merchandising paths.
• Flexible evening and weekend availability (differentiator | immediate): Recent Murray openings specifically called for afternoon and Saturday coverage, which suggests schedule flexibility is a real hiring filter, not boilerplate language. Who: Entry-level candidates and career switchers trying to land interviews quickly.
• Valid driver's license (differentiator | near-term): A valid driver's license showed up in less than 5% of local postings, so it is not table stakes for most store jobs, but it can help with route-based, field, or multi-location work. Who: Applicants open to merchandising, floating store coverage, or inventory-support roles.
