The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Logging Workers, All Other is $80,930 per year in Louisiana. It is $41,790 per year in West Virginia. Louisiana is 93.7% above West Virginia on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 45-4029 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 30 wage and salary jobs in Louisiana and Not published in West Virginia. 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.
