WageScope divides the published Carpenters median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 47-2031 and BLS area 25220.

Hammond, LA was 25.2% below the U.S. median for Carpenters. It ranked 359 of 390 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Carpenters median in Hammond, LA at $45,340 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 47-2031 and BLS area 25220.
BLS lists 130 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 $45,970 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Hammond, LA's Carpenters median is 25.2% below the U.S. Carpenters median of $60,580 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 47-2031 and area 25220. SOC 47-2031 names Carpenters. Area 25220 names Hammond, LA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2031/25220 row reports 130 wage and salary jobs, 2.63 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.61 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2031/25220, the annual median is $45,340 per year, while the matching mean is $45,970 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 25220 reports 47,820 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $49,160. Its annual median is $38,480. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.8%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2031 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Hammond, LA runs from $21,620 at the 10th percentile to $82,750 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $28,170. The median is $38,480. The 75th percentile is $59,430. This is a place check, not a pay range for Carpenters.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 25220. They do not show related skills or a path into Carpenters.
1. Area 25220, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 1,750 jobs, $21,980 annual median, 36.64 jobs per 1,000, and 1.32 location quotient.
2. Area 25220, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 1,560 jobs, $22,350 annual median, 32.69 jobs per 1,000, and 1.32 location quotient.
3. Area 25220, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 1,440 jobs, $25,500 annual median, 30.12 jobs per 1,000, and 1.52 location quotient.
4. Area 25220, SOC 53-7065, Stockers and Order Fillers: 1,420 jobs, $35,570 annual median, 29.74 jobs per 1,000, and 1.63 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Hammond, LA wage ladder for Carpenters
The 10th percentile is $30,010 per year. The 25th percentile is $36,160 per year. The median is $45,340 per year. The 75th percentile is $57,610 per year. The 90th percentile is $61,530 per year.
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 $36,160 per year to $57,610 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $31,520. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Hammond, LA has a annual median of $45,340 per year. Louisiana has $49,920 per year. The U.S. row has $60,580 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Hammond, LA is 9.2% below Louisiana on the same published median. Hammond, LA is 25.2% below 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 bench marks, 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.
Hammond, LA ranks 359 of 390 among metro areas with a published annual median for Carpenters. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 359 of 390 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.
356. Lake Charles, LA has a Carpenters median of $45,930 per year, 630 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.45.
357. Homosassa Springs, FL has a Carpenters median of $45,740 per year, 150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.95.
358. Sumter, SC has a Carpenters median of $45,700 per year, 70 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.48.
360. Brunswick-St. Simons, GA has a Carpenters median of $45,110 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.4.
Pay leaders
Where Carpenters medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Kankakee, IL has the highest published median in this set, at $95,280 per year. Hammond, LA sits at $45,340 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Carpenters 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 care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Kankakee, IL has a Carpenters median of $95,280 per year, or $49,940 above Hammond, LA. BLS lists 120 jobs there, compared with 130 in Hammond, LA. The location quotient is 0.64.
2. Urban Honolulu, HI has a Carpenters median of $94,310 per year, or $48,970 above Hammond, LA. BLS lists 3,120 jobs there, compared with 130 in Hammond, LA. The location quotient is 1.62.
3. Michigan City-La Porte, IN has a Carpenters median of $91,970 per year, or $46,630 above Hammond, LA. BLS lists 260 jobs there, compared with 130 in Hammond, LA. The location quotient is 1.46.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Carpenters jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Carpenters in this same-source set, at 34,210 jobs. Hammond, LA has 130. 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.
1. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 34,210 estimated Carpenters jobs, a gap of 34,080 jobs from Hammond, LA. Its median is $74,300 per year, or $28,960 above Hammond, LA. Its location quotient is 0.84.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 30,600 estimated Carpenters jobs, a gap of 30,470 jobs from Hammond, LA. Its median is $75,740 per year, or $30,400 above Hammond, LA. Its location quotient is 1.13.
Local-share leaders
Where Carpenters takes the largest share of local jobs
Barnstable Town, MA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.15. Hammond, LA has 0.61. 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 Carpenters 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.
1. Barnstable Town, MA has a location quotient of 3.15, a gap of 2.54 from Hammond, LA. BLS lists 1,280 Carpenters jobs and a median of $70,580 per year, or $25,240 above Hammond, LA.
2. Bozeman, MT has a location quotient of 2.9, a gap of 2.29 from Hammond, LA. BLS lists 900 Carpenters jobs and a median of $62,450 per year, or $17,110 above Hammond, LA.
3. St. George, UT has a location quotient of 2.85, a gap of 2.24 from Hammond, LA. BLS lists 1,110 Carpenters jobs and a median of $47,060 per year, or $1,720 above Hammond, LA.
Job scale and share
How common Carpenters is in Hammond, LA
BLS lists 130 Carpenters jobs in Hammond, LA. It also lists 2.63 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 0.61. A value of 1 means Carpenters has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower 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.
The all-occupations median in Hammond, LA is $38,480 per year. The Carpenters median is $45,340 per year. Carpenters is 17.8% above the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Hammond, LA. 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 Carpenters. 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.
1. First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers, SOC 41-1011, has a Hammond, LA median of $43,830 per year. BLS lists 550 jobs and a location quotient of 1.58.
2. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Hammond, LA median of $43,680 per year. BLS lists 380 jobs and a location quotient of 0.9.
3. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a Hammond, LA median of $47,470 per year. BLS lists 610 jobs and a location quotient of 1.43.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Hammond, LA
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Hammond, LA table, at 1,750 jobs. Carpenters has 130 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 47,820. 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 Carpenters's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 1,750 jobs in Hammond, LA, a gap of 1,620 from Carpenters. Its median is $21,980 per year, or $23,360 below Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.32.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 1,560 jobs in Hammond, LA, a gap of 1,430 from Carpenters. Its median is $22,350 per year, or $22,990 below Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.32.
3. Cashiers has 1,440 jobs in Hammond, LA, a gap of 1,310 from Carpenters. Its median is $25,500 per year, or $19,840 below Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.52.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Hammond, LA
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Hammond, LA role table, at $87,990 per year. Carpenters has $45,340 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $38,480 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
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.
1. General and Operations Managers has a median of $87,990 per year in Hammond, LA, or $42,650 above Carpenters. BLS lists 990 jobs, compared with 130 for Carpenters. Its location quotient is 0.92.
2. Postsecondary Teachers, All Other has a median of $84,050 per year in Hammond, LA, or $38,710 above Carpenters. BLS lists 630 jobs, compared with 130 for Carpenters. Its location quotient is 13.66.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $76,200 per year in Hammond, LA, or $30,860 above Carpenters. BLS lists 1,260 jobs, compared with 130 for Carpenters. Its location quotient is 1.21.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Hammond, LA
Postsecondary Teachers, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Hammond, LA role table, at 13.66. Carpenters has 0.61. 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 Carpenters with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Postsecondary Teachers, All Other has a location quotient of 13.66 in Hammond, LA, a gap of 13.05 from Carpenters. BLS lists 630 jobs and a median of $84,050 per year, or $38,710 above Carpenters.
2. Food Preparation Workers has a location quotient of 3.15 in Hammond, LA, a gap of 2.54 from Carpenters. BLS lists 870 jobs and a median of $22,740 per year, or $22,600 below Carpenters.
3. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has a location quotient of 2.36 in Hammond, LA, a gap of 1.75 from Carpenters. BLS lists 470 jobs and a median of $55,840 per year, or $10,500 above Carpenters.
Price-level view
What $45,340 may mean after the Hammond, LA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Hammond, LA is 84.5. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 15.5% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $45,340 Carpenters median by 84.5 divided by 100. The result is $53,682 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 48.2. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 71.0. Other services are 95.7. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Carpenters row is 11.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.3%. 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 130 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $45,970 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.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Carpenters. It uses a Hammond, LA 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 $45,340 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 Carpenters row for Hammond, LA 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 130 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.61 is not a growth score. Rank 359 of 390 is not a place score. The 84.5 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-2031 in BLS area 25220. 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.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
