0.4%
Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area was 21.2% below the U.S. median for Correctional Officers and Jailers. It ranked 92 of 128 nonmetro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Correctional Officers and Jailers median says in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Correctional Officers and Jailers median in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area at $46,430 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 33-3012 and BLS area 3500006.
BLS lists 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 $46,500 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area's Correctional Officers and Jailers median is 21.2% below the U.S. Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $58,940 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 33-3012 with area 3500006
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 33-3012 and area 3500006. SOC 33-3012 names Correctional Officers and Jailers. Area 3500006 names Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 33-3012/3500006 row reports 640 wage and salary jobs, 7.62 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 3.11 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 33-3012/3500006, the annual median is $46,430 per year, while the matching mean is $46,500 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.

The median is $49,230. The 75th percentile is $90,930. This is a place check, not a pay range for Correctional Officers and Jailers.
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 3500006. They do not show related skills or a path into Correctional Officers and Jailers.
1. Area 3500006, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 4,900 jobs, $27,500 annual median, 58.13 jobs per 1,000, and 2.1 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Correctional Officers and Jailers

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 $38,240 per year to $52,370 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $14,370. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $46,430 per year. New Mexico has $47,940 per year. The U.S. row has $58,940 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area is 3.1% below New Mexico on the same published median. Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area is 21.2% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area sits for Correctional Officers and Jailers
Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area ranks 92 of 128 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Correctional Officers and Jailers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 92 of 128 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.
89. Northwest Oklahoma nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $46,920 per year, 480 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.01.
90. Northern Indiana nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $46,790 per year, 830 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.61.
91. Western North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $46,440 per year, 1,020 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.65.
Pay leaders
Where Correctional Officers and Jailers medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 33-3012, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $107,220 per year. Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area sits at $46,430 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Correctional Officers and Jailers 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. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $107,220 per year, or $60,790 above Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,300 jobs there, compared with 640 in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 8.42.
2. North Valley-Northern Mountains Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a Correctional Officers and Jailers median of $101,080 per year, or $54,650 above Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 990 jobs there, compared with 640 in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 3.87.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs
Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Correctional Officers and Jailers in this same-source set, at 4,640 jobs. Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area has 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.
1. Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has 4,640 estimated Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs, a gap of 4,000 jobs from Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $52,670 per year, or $6,240 above Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 9.45.
2. North Florida nonmetropolitan area has 4,640 estimated Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs, a gap of 4,000 jobs from Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $47,130 per year, or $700 above Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 16.82.
Local-share leaders
Where Correctional Officers and Jailers takes the largest share of local jobs
North Florida nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 16.82. Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area has 3.11. 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers 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 Florida nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 16.82, a gap of 13.71 from Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 4,640 Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs and a median of $47,130 per year, or $700 above Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area.
2. Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 9.99, a gap of 6.88 from Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 1,900 Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs and a median of $37,060 per year, or $9,370 below Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Correctional Officers and Jailers is in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 640 Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 7.62 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 3.11. A value of 1 means Correctional Officers and Jailers 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.
Local job mix
Correctional Officers and Jailers beside other roles in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area is $49,230 per year. The Correctional Officers and Jailers median is $46,430 per year. Correctional Officers and Jailers is 5.7% 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 Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers. 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. Security Guards, SOC 33-9032, has a Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area median of $46,160 per year. BLS lists 1,050 jobs and a location quotient of 1.51.
2. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area median of $47,050 per year. BLS lists 740 jobs and a location quotient of 1.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,900 jobs. Correctional Officers and Jailers has 640 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 84,350. 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 4,900 jobs in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,260 from Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its median is $27,500 per year, or $18,930 below Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its location quotient is 2.1.
2. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has 3,250 jobs in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2,610 from Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its median is $47,550 per year, or $1,120 above Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its location quotient is 3.51.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area
Engineers, All Other has the highest published median in the bounded Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area role table, at $162,070 per year. Correctional Officers and Jailers has $46,430 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $49,230 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. Engineers, All Other has a median of $162,070 per year in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area, or $115,640 above Correctional Officers and Jailers. BLS lists 630 jobs, compared with 640 for Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its location quotient is 7.57.
2. Mechanical Engineers has a median of $157,710 per year in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area, or $111,280 above Correctional Officers and Jailers. BLS lists 1,120 jobs, compared with 640 for Correctional Officers and Jailers. Its location quotient is 6.93.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area
Information Security Analysts has the highest location quotient in the bounded Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area role table, at 8.37. Correctional Officers and Jailers has 3.11. 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 Correctional Officers and Jailers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Information Security Analysts has a location quotient of 8.37 in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 5.26 from Correctional Officers and Jailers. BLS lists 870 jobs and a median of $157,660 per year, or $111,230 above Correctional Officers and Jailers.
2. Engineers, All Other has a location quotient of 7.57 in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4.46 from Correctional Officers and Jailers. BLS lists 630 jobs and a median of $162,070 per year, or $115,640 above Correctional Officers and Jailers.
Price-level view
What $46,430 may mean after the Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $46,430 BLS median stays a nominal wage.
No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.
You can still compare Correctional Officers and Jailers with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
Data care
How much care to use with the Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Correctional Officers and Jailers row is 16.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.2%. 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 640 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $46,500 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Correctional Officers and Jailers. It uses a Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area 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 $46,430 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.
Limits
What the Correctional Officers and Jailers row for Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area 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 640 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 3.11 is not a growth score. Rank 92 of 128 is not a place score. A missing price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 33-3012 in BLS area 3500006. 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.
How many Correctional Officers and Jailers jobs does BLS estimate in Northern New Mexico nonmetropolitan area?
BLS published an employment estimate of 640 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.
