How much do accountants and auditors make in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA?

What the Accountants and Auditors median says in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Accountants and Auditors median in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA at $94,360 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 13-2011 and BLS area 31080.

BLS lists 70,640 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $99,740 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA's Accountants and Auditors median is 12.8% above the U.S. Accountants and Auditors median of $83,680 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

Read source key 13-2011 with area 31080

Read the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA wage ladder for Accountants and Auditors

A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.

The middle half runs from $74,060 per year to $122,290 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $94,320. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Compare Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA with its state and the U.S.

Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has a annual median of $94,360 per year. California has $97,050 per year. The U.S. row has $83,680 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA is 2.8% below California on the same published median. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA is 12.8% above the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.

The state and U.S. rows are benchmarks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.

Where Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA sits for Accountants and Auditors

Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA ranks 22 of 393 among metro areas with a published annual median for Accountants and Auditors. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 22 of 393 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.

The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.

Where Accountants and Auditors medians lead among metro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 13-2011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $121,700 per year. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA sits at $94,360 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Accountants and Auditors is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.

Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.

Where BLS counts the most Accountants and Auditors jobs

New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Accountants and Auditors in this same-source set, at 111,930 jobs. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 70,640. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.

A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.

Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.

Where Accountants and Auditors takes the largest share of local jobs

Springfield, IL has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 1.7. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 1.21. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.

A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.

Use this list to ask where Accountants and Auditors is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.

How common Accountants and Auditors is in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA

BLS lists 70,640 Accountants and Auditors jobs in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. It also lists 11.26 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.

The location quotient is 1.21. A value of 1 means Accountants and Auditors has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.

Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.

Accountants and Auditors beside other roles in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.

Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Accountants and Auditors. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.

The all-occupations job count is 6,271,560. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.

A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Accountants and Auditors's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.

Home Health and Personal Care Aides has the highest location quotient in the bounded Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA role table, at 2.22. Accountants and Auditors has 1.21. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.

A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.

The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Accountants and Auditors with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $94,360 may mean after the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA is 113.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 13.6% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $94,360 Accountants and Auditors median by 113.6 divided by 100. The result is $83,088 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.

Housing is 170.4. Goods are 106.6. Utilities are 158.6. Other services are 104.4. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.

How much care to use with the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA row

The employment RSE for this Accountants and Auditors row is 3.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.1%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.

The employment RSE belongs to the 70,640 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $99,740 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.

A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.

Use Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Accountants and Auditors. It uses a Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.

Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $94,360 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.

Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.

What the Accountants and Auditors row for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA does not claim

The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.

The 70,640 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.21 is not a growth score. Rank 22 of 393 is not a place score. The 113.6 price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 13-2011 in BLS area 31080. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
