WageScope divides the published Construction Laborers 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 47-2061 and BLS area 22.
Questions, answered
Construction Laborers pay in Louisiana: common questions
What is the median wage for Construction Laborers in Louisiana?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $38,230 per year for Construction Laborers in Louisiana. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Construction Laborers pay higher in Louisiana than nationally?
Louisiana's published median was 18.9% 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.

What the Construction Laborers median says in Louisiana
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Construction Laborers median in Louisiana at $38,230 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 47-2061 and BLS area 22.
BLS lists 22,100 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 $42,250 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Louisiana's Construction Laborers median is 18.9% below the U.S. Construction Laborers median of $47,120 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 47-2061 and area 22. SOC 47-2061 names Construction Laborers. Area 22 names Louisiana. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2061/22 row reports 22,100 wage and salary jobs, 11.42 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.62 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2061/22, the annual median is $38,230 per year, while the matching mean is $42,250 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 Construction Laborers 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 47-2061 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 Construction Laborers.
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 Construction Laborers.
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 Construction Laborers
The 10th percentile is $29,650 per year. The 25th percentile is $34,510 per year. The median is $38,230 per year. The 75th percentile is $47,300 per year. The 90th percentile is $60,090 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 $34,510 per year to $47,300 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $30,440. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Louisiana has a annual median of $38,230 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $47,120 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Louisiana. Louisiana is 18.9% 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 49 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Construction Laborers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 49 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.
46. Oklahoma has a Construction Laborers median of $39,360 per year, 13,710 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.14.
47. Georgia has a Construction Laborers median of $38,990 per year, 27,800 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.81.
48. New Mexico has a Construction Laborers median of $38,400 per year, 12,470 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.03.
50. Mississippi has a Construction Laborers median of $37,710 per year, 8,800 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.07.
Pay leaders
Where Construction Laborers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2061, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Hawaii has the highest published median in this set, at $77,110 per year. Louisiana sits at $38,230 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Construction Laborers 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. Hawaii has a Construction Laborers median of $77,110 per year, or $38,880 above Louisiana. BLS lists 4,580 jobs there, compared with 22,100 in Louisiana. The location quotient is 1.03.
2. New Jersey has a Construction Laborers median of $64,060 per year, or $25,830 above Louisiana. BLS lists 23,590 jobs there, compared with 22,100 in Louisiana. The location quotient is 0.78.
3. Massachusetts has a Construction Laborers median of $63,390 per year, or $25,160 above Louisiana. BLS lists 16,210 jobs there, compared with 22,100 in Louisiana. The location quotient is 0.63.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Construction Laborers jobs
Texas has the largest published state job estimate for Construction Laborers in this same-source set, at 123,250 jobs. Louisiana has 22,100. 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. Texas has 123,250 estimated Construction Laborers jobs, a gap of 101,150 jobs from Louisiana. Its median is $40,620 per year, or $2,390 above Louisiana. Its location quotient is 1.24.
2. California has 88,240 estimated Construction Laborers jobs, a gap of 66,140 jobs from Louisiana. Its median is $60,270 per year, or $22,040 above Louisiana. Its location quotient is 0.69.
3. Florida has 87,040 estimated Construction Laborers jobs, a gap of 64,940 jobs from Louisiana. Its median is $44,030 per year, or $5,800 above Louisiana. Its location quotient is 1.24.
Local-share leaders
Where Construction Laborers takes the largest share of local jobs
New Mexico has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.03. Louisiana has 1.62. 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 Construction Laborers 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. New Mexico has a location quotient of 2.03, a gap of 0.41 from Louisiana. BLS lists 12,470 Construction Laborers jobs and a median of $38,400 per year, or $170 above Louisiana.
2. Idaho has a location quotient of 1.79, a gap of 0.17 from Louisiana. BLS lists 10,850 Construction Laborers jobs and a median of $46,940 per year, or $8,710 above Louisiana.
3. Utah has a location quotient of 1.71, a gap of 0.09 from Louisiana. BLS lists 20,950 Construction Laborers jobs and a median of $46,550 per year, or $8,320 above Louisiana.
Job scale and share
How common Construction Laborers is in Louisiana
BLS lists 22,100 Construction Laborers jobs in Louisiana. It also lists 11.42 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 1.62. A value of 1 means Construction Laborers 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.
Construction Laborers beside other roles in Louisiana
The all-occupations median in Louisiana is $45,520 per year. The Construction Laborers median is $38,230 per year. Construction Laborers is 16.0% 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 Construction Laborers. 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. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a Louisiana median of $38,790 per year. BLS lists 28,040 jobs and a location quotient of 1.32.
2. Customer Service Representatives, SOC 43-4051, has a Louisiana median of $37,330 per year. BLS lists 25,780 jobs and a location quotient of 0.8.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers, SOC 35-1012, has a Louisiana median of $35,800 per year. BLS lists 16,680 jobs and a location quotient of 1.1.
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. Construction Laborers has 22,100 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 Construction Laborers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 49,570 jobs in Louisiana, a gap of 27,470 from Construction Laborers. Its median is $29,490 per year, or $8,740 below Construction Laborers. Its location quotient is 1.02.
2. Registered Nurses has 48,970 jobs in Louisiana, a gap of 26,870 from Construction Laborers. Its median is $80,230 per year, or $42,000 above Construction Laborers. Its location quotient is 1.16.
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. Construction Laborers has $38,230 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 $63,560 above Construction Laborers. BLS lists 43,220 jobs, compared with 22,100 for Construction Laborers. Its location quotient is 0.99.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,230 per year in Louisiana, or $42,000 above Construction Laborers. BLS lists 48,970 jobs, compared with 22,100 for Construction Laborers. 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 $25,060 above Construction Laborers. BLS lists 19,120 jobs, compared with 22,100 for Construction Laborers. 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. Construction Laborers has 1.62. 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 Construction Laborers 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 1.16 from Construction Laborers. BLS lists 30,920 jobs and a median of $23,620 per year, or $14,610 below Construction Laborers.
2. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has a location quotient of 2.18 in Louisiana, a gap of 0.56 from Construction Laborers. BLS lists 17,600 jobs and a median of $57,470 per year, or $19,240 above Construction Laborers.
3. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has a location quotient of 1.32 in Louisiana, a gap of 0.30 from Construction Laborers. BLS lists 28,040 jobs and a median of $38,790 per year, or $560 above Construction Laborers.
Price-level view
What $38,230 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 $38,230 Construction Laborers median by 88.2 divided by 100. The result is $43,341 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 Construction Laborers row is 4.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.9%. 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 22,100 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $42,250 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 Construction Laborers. 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 $38,230 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 Construction Laborers 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 22,100 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.62 is not a growth score. Rank 49 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 47-2061 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.
BLS published an employment estimate of 22,100 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
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.
