Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Powerhouse, Substation, and Relay pay in Baton Rouge, LA and Fresno, CA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Powerhouse, Substation, and Relay is $94,100 per year in Baton Rouge, LA. It is $145,530 per year in Fresno, CA. Baton Rouge, LA is 35.3% below Fresno, CA on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 49-2095 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 90 wage and salary jobs in Baton Rouge, LA and 40 in Fresno, CA. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
