By the BLS count there are 70 advertising sales agents in the Oxnard metro earning a median of $78,990. Below: what the job is, how the money works, and what the public data says about Oxnard as a market.
Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA employs 70 advertising sales agents, 0.2 per 1,000 jobs. Concentration matters more than the raw count: a location quotient of 0.4 means the occupation is thinner here than in the US workforce, which usually means many local businesses have never had a dedicated advertising rep. The mean annual wage for the occupation here is $82,290 and the median $78,990; the national figures are $80,670 and $64,820, which puts the Oxnard metro 22 percent above the US median. Treat the BLS wage as the local benchmark for the skill. A rep on the 18% residual model is building an asset, so the useful question is how many accounts the market can support, not the median wage.

The business base is 22,992 establishments with employees, 27.5 per 1,000 residents, 10 percent above the national figure (US: 25). The home-services trades alone account for 1,177 establishments (5.1% of the base, about the same as the US share), and they are the accounts that run month after month. Counted by establishment, the top local trades are restaurants (1,555), physicians' offices (956) and dental practices (486). Relative to the US pattern the metro over-indexes on physicians' offices (1.6 times the national share), a crowded trade where advertising decides who gets the call. The Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA market page breaks all twenty trades out.
The work is local business development. You prospect in the Oxnard metro, pitch the YelloPost service line, sign accounts and maintain them; the campaigns themselves are built and run by the fulfillment team. You do not have to live in Oxnard. The territory is the metro, the work is mostly phone, video and email, and some reps meet business owners in person because it helps them close.
You are paid 18% recurring on the ad spend of every account you sign and maintain, every month. There is no base salary and no draw, and there is no cap on how many accounts you can stack.
The arithmetic: a $3,000-a-month account pays you $540 a month for as long as it runs; twenty such accounts pay $10,800 a month. It suits people who want to build a book that pays them residually for years, including reps from the legacy local-advertising platforms who know the territory and the playbook, and anyone running a side business who wants a referral-style income channel. It does not suit anyone who needs a guaranteed paycheck on day one or who wants leads handed to them.
