Cashiers in Louisiana: wage guide
Use the local pay range, same-source pay figures, job scale, price level, and survey limits as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 41-2011 and BLS area 22.
What the Cashiers median says in Louisiana
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cashiers median in Louisiana at $26,750 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 41-2011 and BLS area 22.
BLS lists 46,350 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 $26,860 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Louisiana's Cashiers median is 18.6% below the U.S. Cashiers median of $32,880 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 41-2011 with area 22
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 41-2011 and area 22. SOC 41-2011 names Cashiers. Area 22 names Louisiana. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 41-2011/22 row has 46,350 wage and salary jobs. There are 23.95 for each 1,000 local jobs. The location quotient is 1.21. Each value stays under the same job and area codes.
For 41-2011/22, the annual median is $26,750 per year, while the matching mean is $26,860 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
- 41-2011/22 10th percentile: $19,300 per year.
- 41-2011/22 25th percentile: $22,130 per year.
- 41-2011/22 median: $26,750 per year.
- 41-2011/22 75th percentile: $30,170 per year.
- 41-2011/22 90th percentile: $34,780 per year.
- 41-2011/22 employment RSE: 3%. Mean-wage RSE: 1.1%.
- 41-2011/22 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
BLS area 22 facts behind this Cashiers page
Area 22 reports 1,934,900 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $56,600. Its annual median is $45,520. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.2%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 41-2011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Louisiana runs from $22,710 at the 10th percentile to $100,110 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $30,350. The median is $45,520. The 75th percentile is $66,340. This is a place check, not a pay range for Cashiers.
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 22. They do not show related skills or a path into Cashiers.
- 1. Retail Salespersons. Area: 22. SOC: 41-2031. Jobs: 49,570. Yearly median: $29,490. Jobs per 1,000: 25.62. Location quotient: 1.02.
- 2. Registered Nurses. Area: 22. SOC: 29-1141. Jobs: 48,970. Yearly median: $80,230. Jobs per 1,000: 25.31. Location quotient: 1.16.
- 3. Fast Food and Counter Workers. Area: 22. SOC: 35-3023. Jobs: 45,720. Yearly median: $22,800. Jobs per 1,000: 23.63. Location quotient: 0.95.

Read the Louisiana wage ladder for Cashiers
The 10th percentile is $19,300 per year. The 25th percentile is $22,130 per year. The median is $26,750 per year. The 75th percentile is $30,170 per year. The 90th percentile is $34,780 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 $22,130 per year to $30,170 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $15,480. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Louisiana with its state and the U.S.
Louisiana has a annual median of $26,750 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $32,880 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Louisiana. Louisiana is 18.6% 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 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 Louisiana sits for Cashiers
Louisiana ranks 50 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Cashiers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 50 of 54 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.
- 47. Oklahoma. The Cashiers median is $28,180 per year. BLS estimates 41,140 jobs. The location quotient is 1.21.
- 48. Virgin Islands (territory). The Cashiers median is $28,040 per year. BLS estimates 770 jobs. The location quotient is 1.2.
- 49. Arkansas. The Cashiers median is $27,670 per year. BLS estimates 28,270 jobs. The location quotient is 1.09.
- 51. Mississippi. The Cashiers median is $26,390 per year. BLS estimates 30,490 jobs. The location quotient is 1.32.
- 52. West Virginia. The Cashiers median is $26,370 per year. BLS estimates 17,360 jobs. The location quotient is 1.25.
- 53. Puerto Rico. The Cashiers median is $22,140 per year. BLS estimates 27,320 jobs. The location quotient is 1.46.
Where Cashiers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 41-2011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. District of Columbia has the highest published median in this set, at $38,880 per year. Louisiana sits at $26,750 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Cashiers 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.
- 1. District of Columbia has a Cashiers median of $38,880 per year, or $12,130 above Louisiana. BLS lists 6,060 jobs there, compared with 46,350 in Louisiana. The location quotient is 0.43.
- 2. Washington has a Cashiers median of $38,720 per year, or $11,970 above Louisiana. BLS lists 61,050 jobs there, compared with 46,350 in Louisiana. The location quotient is 0.87.

Where BLS counts the most Cashiers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Cashiers in this same-source set, at 336,110 jobs. Louisiana has 46,350. 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. California has 336,110 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 289,760 jobs from Louisiana. Its median is $37,100 per year, or $10,350 above Louisiana. Its location quotient is 0.93.
- 2. Texas has 245,730 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 199,380 jobs from Louisiana. Its median is $29,230 per year, or $2,480 above Louisiana. Its location quotient is 0.88.

- 8. North Carolina has 106,440 estimated Cashiers jobs, a gap of 60,090 jobs from Louisiana. Its median is $28,880 per year, or $2,130 above Louisiana. Its location quotient is 1.08.
How common Cashiers is in Louisiana
BLS lists 46,350 Cashiers jobs in Louisiana. It also lists 23.95 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 Cashiers 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.
Cashiers beside other roles in Louisiana
The all-occupations median in Louisiana is $45,520 per year. The Cashiers median is $26,750 per year. Cashiers is 41.2% below 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 Louisiana. 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 Cashiers. 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 largest detailed roles in Louisiana
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Louisiana table, at 49,570 jobs. Cashiers has 46,350 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 1,934,900. 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 Cashiers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
- 1. Retail Salespersons has 49,570 jobs in Louisiana, a gap of 3,220 from Cashiers. Its median is $29,490 per year, or $2,740 above Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.02.

Published role medians around Louisiana
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Louisiana role table, at $101,790 per year. Cashiers has $26,750 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,520 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 $101,790 per year in Louisiana, or $75,040 above Cashiers. BLS lists 43,220 jobs, compared with 46,350 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 0.99.

- 8. First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers has a median of $57,180 per year in Louisiana, or $30,430 above Cashiers. BLS lists 20,810 jobs, compared with 46,350 for Cashiers. Its location quotient is 1.16.
What $26,750 may mean after the Louisiana price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Louisiana is 88.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $26,750 Cashiers median by 88.2 divided by 100. The result is $30,326 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 63.1. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 71.5. 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.
How much care to use with the Louisiana row
The employment RSE for this Cashiers row is 3%. 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 46,350 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $26,860 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 Louisiana wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cashiers. It uses a Louisiana 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 $26,750 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 Cashiers row for Louisiana 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 46,350 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.21 is not a growth score. Rank 50 of 54 is not a place score. The 88.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 41-2011 in BLS area 22. 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.
