Louisiana was 34.5% below the U.S. median for Childcare Workers. It ranked 50 of 54 state areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
Price-level context
What the local median may buy
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Louisiana was 88.2, or 11.8% below the national price level. Its housing index was 63.1.

WageScope divides the published Childcare Workers 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 39-9011 and BLS area 22.
Questions, answered
Childcare Workers pay in Louisiana: common questions
What is the median wage for Childcare Workers in Louisiana?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $22,900 per year for Childcare Workers in Louisiana. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Childcare Workers pay higher in Louisiana than nationally?
Louisiana's published median was 34.5% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Louisiana?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 88.2 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.
How many Childcare Workers jobs does BLS estimate in Louisiana?
BLS published an employment estimate of 8,000 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.

What the Childcare Workers median says in Louisiana
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Childcare Workers median in Louisiana at $22,900 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 39-9011 and BLS area 22.
BLS lists 8,000 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 $25,470 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Louisiana's Childcare Workers median is 34.5% below the U.S. Childcare Workers median of $34,980 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 39-9011 and area 22. SOC 39-9011 names Childcare Workers. Area 22 names Louisiana. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 39-9011/22 row reports 8,000 wage and salary jobs, 4.14 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.24 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 39-9011/22, the annual median is $22,900 per year, while the matching mean is $25,470 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 22 facts behind this Childcare Workers 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 39-9011 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 Childcare Workers.
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 Childcare Workers.
1. Area 22, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 49,570 jobs, $29,490 annual median, 25.62 jobs per 1,000, and 1.02 location quotient.
2. Area 22, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 48,970 jobs, $80,230 annual median, 25.31 jobs per 1,000, and 1.16 location quotient.
3. Area 22, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 46,350 jobs, $26,750 annual median, 23.95 jobs per 1,000, and 1.21 location quotient.
4. Area 22, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 45,720 jobs, $22,800 annual median, 23.63 jobs per 1,000, and 0.95 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Louisiana wage ladder for Childcare Workers
The 10th percentile is $18,650 per year. The 25th percentile is $21,390 per year. The median is $22,900 per year. The 75th percentile is $28,600 per year. The 90th percentile is $33,610 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 $21,390 per year to $28,600 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $14,960. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Louisiana has a annual median of $22,900 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $34,980 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Louisiana. Louisiana is 34.5% 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.
Louisiana ranks 50 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Childcare Workers. 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. South Dakota has a Childcare Workers median of $27,940 per year, 2,370 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.56.
48. Oklahoma has a Childcare Workers median of $27,730 per year, 7,590 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.33.
49. West Virginia has a Childcare Workers median of $27,710 per year, 1,930 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.83.
51. Alabama has a Childcare Workers median of $22,720 per year, 4,580 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.65.
Pay leaders
Where Childcare Workers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 39-9011, 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 $47,340 per year. Louisiana sits at $22,900 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Childcare Workers 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. District of Columbia has a Childcare Workers median of $47,340 per year, or $24,440 above Louisiana. BLS lists 1,350 jobs there, compared with 8,000 in Louisiana. The location quotient is 0.58.
2. Washington has a Childcare Workers median of $41,680 per year, or $18,780 above Louisiana. BLS lists 4,340 jobs there, compared with 8,000 in Louisiana. The location quotient is 0.37.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Childcare Workers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Childcare Workers in this same-source set, at 52,780 jobs. Louisiana has 8,000. 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 52,780 estimated Childcare Workers jobs, a gap of 44,780 jobs from Louisiana. Its median is $40,020 per year, or $17,120 above Louisiana. Its location quotient is 0.87.
2. New York has 44,020 estimated Childcare Workers jobs, a gap of 36,020 jobs from Louisiana. Its median is $37,590 per year, or $14,690 above Louisiana. Its location quotient is 1.36.
3. Texas has 34,160 estimated Childcare Workers jobs, a gap of 26,160 jobs from Louisiana. Its median is $28,570 per year, or $5,670 above Louisiana. Its location quotient is 0.73.
Local-share leaders
Where Childcare Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
North Dakota has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.81. Louisiana has 1.24. 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 Childcare Workers 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. North Dakota has a location quotient of 2.81, a gap of 1.57 from Louisiana. BLS lists 4,030 Childcare Workers jobs and a median of $30,290 per year, or $7,390 above Louisiana.
2. Nebraska has a location quotient of 2.75, a gap of 1.51 from Louisiana. BLS lists 9,390 Childcare Workers jobs and a median of $30,740 per year, or $7,840 above Louisiana.
3. Maine has a location quotient of 2.33, a gap of 1.09 from Louisiana. BLS lists 4,990 Childcare Workers jobs and a median of $36,350 per year, or $13,450 above Louisiana.
Job scale and share
How common Childcare Workers is in Louisiana
BLS lists 8,000 Childcare Workers jobs in Louisiana. It also lists 4.14 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 1.24. A value of 1 means Childcare Workers 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.
The all-occupations median in Louisiana is $45,520 per year. The Childcare Workers median is $22,900 per year. Childcare Workers is 49.7% 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 Childcare Workers. 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. Fast Food and Counter Workers, SOC 35-3023, has a Louisiana median of $22,800 per year. BLS lists 45,720 jobs and a location quotient of 0.95.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a Louisiana median of $22,520 per year. BLS lists 45,060 jobs and a location quotient of 0.84.
3. Food Preparation Workers, SOC 35-2021, has a Louisiana median of $23,620 per year. BLS lists 30,920 jobs and a location quotient of 2.78.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Louisiana
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Louisiana table, at 49,570 jobs. Childcare Workers has 8,000 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 Childcare Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 49,570 jobs in Louisiana, a gap of 41,570 from Childcare Workers. Its median is $29,490 per year, or $6,590 above Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Registered Nurses has 48,970 jobs in Louisiana, a gap of 40,970 from Childcare Workers. Its median is $80,230 per year, or $57,330 above Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 1.16.
3. Cashiers has 46,350 jobs in Louisiana, a gap of 38,350 from Childcare Workers. Its median is $26,750 per year, or $3,850 above Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 1.21.
Area pay mix
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. Childcare Workers has $22,900 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 $78,890 above Childcare Workers. BLS lists 43,220 jobs, compared with 8,000 for Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 0.99.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,230 per year in Louisiana, or $57,330 above Childcare Workers. BLS lists 48,970 jobs, compared with 8,000 for Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 1.16.
3. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products has a median of $63,290 per year in Louisiana, or $40,390 above Childcare Workers. BLS lists 19,120 jobs, compared with 8,000 for Childcare Workers. Its location quotient is 1.24.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Louisiana
Food Preparation Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Louisiana role table, at 2.78. Childcare Workers has 1.24. 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 Childcare Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Food Preparation Workers has a location quotient of 2.78 in Louisiana, a gap of 1.54 from Childcare Workers. BLS lists 30,920 jobs and a median of $23,620 per year, or $720 above Childcare Workers.
2. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has a location quotient of 2.18 in Louisiana, a gap of 0.94 from Childcare Workers. BLS lists 17,600 jobs and a median of $57,470 per year, or $34,570 above Childcare Workers.
3. Construction Laborers has a location quotient of 1.62 in Louisiana, a gap of 0.38 from Childcare Workers. BLS lists 22,100 jobs and a median of $38,230 per year, or $15,330 above Childcare Workers.
Price-level view
What $22,900 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 $22,900 Childcare Workers median by 88.2 divided by 100. The result is $25,962 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.
The employment RSE for this Childcare Workers row is 5.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.2%. 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 8,000 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $25,470 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 Childcare Workers. 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 $22,900 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 Childcare Workers 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 8,000 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.24 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 39-9011 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.
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.
