WageScope divides the published Dishwashers 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 35-9021 and BLS area 29340.

Lake Charles, LA was 28.9% below the U.S. median for Dishwashers. It ranked 373 of 390 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Dishwashers median says in Lake Charles, LA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Dishwashers median in Lake Charles, LA at $24,760 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 35-9021 and BLS area 29340.
BLS lists 200 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 $25,210 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Lake Charles, LA's Dishwashers median is 28.9% below the U.S. Dishwashers median of $34,810 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 35-9021 and area 29340. SOC 35-9021 names Dishwashers. Area 29340 names Lake Charles, LA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 35-9021/29340 row reports 200 wage and salary jobs, 1.95 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.63 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 35-9021/29340, the annual median is $24,760 per year, while the matching mean is $25,210 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 29340 reports 101,690 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $56,630. Its annual median is $45,700. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 35-9021 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Lake Charles, LA runs from $22,550 at the 10th percentile to $103,450 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $30,440. The median is $45,700. The 75th percentile is $69,490. This is a place check, not a pay range for Dishwashers.
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 29340. They do not show related skills or a path into Dishwashers.
1. Area 29340, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 2,840 jobs, $27,480 annual median, 27.89 jobs per 1,000, and 1.4 location quotient.
2. Area 29340, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 2,620 jobs, $28,780 annual median, 25.75 jobs per 1,000, and 1.03 location quotient.
3. Area 29340, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 2,460 jobs, $90,690 annual median, 24.15 jobs per 1,000, and 1.11 location quotient.
4. Area 29340, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 2,350 jobs, $22,500 annual median, 23.13 jobs per 1,000, and 0.93 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Lake Charles, LA wage ladder for Dishwashers
The 10th percentile is $20,950 per year. The 25th percentile is $21,430 per year. The median is $24,760 per year. The 75th percentile is $28,760 per year. The 90th percentile is $32,150 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 $21,430 per year to $28,760 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $11,200. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Lake Charles, LA with its state and the U.S.
Lake Charles, LA has a annual median of $24,760 per year. Louisiana has $26,440 per year. The U.S. row has $34,810 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Lake Charles, LA is 6.4% below Louisiana on the same published median. Lake Charles, LA is 28.9% 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.
Lake Charles, LA ranks 373 of 390 among metro areas with a published annual median for Dishwashers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 373 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.
370. Lafayette, LA has a Dishwashers median of $25,300 per year, 450 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.81.
371. San Angelo, TX has a Dishwashers median of $25,290 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.82.
372. Beckley, WV has a Dishwashers median of $25,150 per year, 130 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.95.
374. Weirton-Steubenville, WV-OH has a Dishwashers median of $24,600 per year, 110 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.97.
Pay leaders
Where Dishwashers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 35-9021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has the highest published median in this set, at $45,930 per year. Lake Charles, LA sits at $24,760 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Dishwashers 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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a Dishwashers median of $45,930 per year, or $21,170 above Lake Charles, LA. BLS lists 800 jobs there, compared with 200 in Lake Charles, LA. The location quotient is 3.54.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Dishwashers median of $43,960 per year, or $19,200 above Lake Charles, LA. BLS lists 3,940 jobs there, compared with 200 in Lake Charles, LA. The location quotient is 1.13.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Dishwashers jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Dishwashers in this same-source set, at 27,520 jobs. Lake Charles, LA has 200. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 27,520 estimated Dishwashers jobs, a gap of 27,320 jobs from Lake Charles, LA. Its median is $37,580 per year, or $12,820 above Lake Charles, LA. Its location quotient is 1.43.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 25,580 estimated Dishwashers jobs, a gap of 25,380 jobs from Lake Charles, LA. Its median is $35,670 per year, or $10,910 above Lake Charles, LA. Its location quotient is 0.88.
Local-share leaders
Where Dishwashers takes the largest share of local jobs
Kahului-Wailuku, HI has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.54. Lake Charles, LA has 0.63. 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 Dishwashers 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. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a location quotient of 3.54, a gap of 2.91 from Lake Charles, LA. BLS lists 800 Dishwashers jobs and a median of $45,930 per year, or $21,170 above Lake Charles, LA.
2. Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV has a location quotient of 2.75, a gap of 2.12 from Lake Charles, LA. BLS lists 9,610 Dishwashers jobs and a median of $35,630 per year, or $10,870 above Lake Charles, LA.
3. Naples-Marco Island, FL has a location quotient of 2.5, a gap of 1.87 from Lake Charles, LA. BLS lists 1,340 Dishwashers jobs and a median of $34,980 per year, or $10,220 above Lake Charles, LA.
Job scale and share
How common Dishwashers is in Lake Charles, LA
BLS lists 200 Dishwashers jobs in Lake Charles, LA. It also lists 1.95 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 0.63. A value of 1 means Dishwashers 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.
Dishwashers beside other roles in Lake Charles, LA
The all-occupations median in Lake Charles, LA is $45,700 per year. The Dishwashers median is $24,760 per year. Dishwashers is 45.8% 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 Lake Charles, 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 Dishwashers. 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. Food Preparation Workers, SOC 35-2021, has a Lake Charles, LA median of $23,380 per year. BLS lists 1,940 jobs and a location quotient of 3.32.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a Lake Charles, LA median of $23,000 per year. BLS lists 2,140 jobs and a location quotient of 0.76.
3. Fast Food and Counter Workers, SOC 35-3023, has a Lake Charles, LA median of $22,500 per year. BLS lists 2,350 jobs and a location quotient of 0.93.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Lake Charles, LA
Cashiers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Lake Charles, LA table, at 2,840 jobs. Dishwashers has 200 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 101,690. 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 Dishwashers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Cashiers has 2,840 jobs in Lake Charles, LA, a gap of 2,640 from Dishwashers. Its median is $27,480 per year, or $2,720 above Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 1.4.
2. Retail Salespersons has 2,620 jobs in Lake Charles, LA, a gap of 2,420 from Dishwashers. Its median is $28,780 per year, or $4,020 above Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 1.03.
3. Registered Nurses has 2,460 jobs in Lake Charles, LA, a gap of 2,260 from Dishwashers. Its median is $90,690 per year, or $65,930 above Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Lake Charles, LA
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Lake Charles, LA role table, at $101,370 per year. Dishwashers has $24,760 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,700 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 $101,370 per year in Lake Charles, LA, or $76,610 above Dishwashers. BLS lists 2,140 jobs, compared with 200 for Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 0.93.
2. Engineers, All Other has a median of $94,810 per year in Lake Charles, LA, or $70,050 above Dishwashers. BLS lists 1,330 jobs, compared with 200 for Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 13.19.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $90,690 per year in Lake Charles, LA, or $65,930 above Dishwashers. BLS lists 2,460 jobs, compared with 200 for Dishwashers. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Lake Charles, LA
Gambling Dealers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Lake Charles, LA role table, at 16.11. Dishwashers has 0.63. 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 Dishwashers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Gambling Dealers has a location quotient of 16.11 in Lake Charles, LA, a gap of 15.48 from Dishwashers. BLS lists 880 jobs and a median of $15,080 per year, or $9,680 below Dishwashers.
2. Chemical Equipment Operators and Tenders has a location quotient of 14.49 in Lake Charles, LA, a gap of 13.86 from Dishwashers. BLS lists 1,320 jobs and a median of $74,220 per year, or $49,460 above Dishwashers.
3. Engineers, All Other has a location quotient of 13.19 in Lake Charles, LA, a gap of 12.56 from Dishwashers. BLS lists 1,330 jobs and a median of $94,810 per year, or $70,050 above Dishwashers.
Price-level view
What $24,760 may mean after the Lake Charles, LA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Lake Charles, LA is 85.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 14.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $24,760 Dishwashers median by 85.9 divided by 100. The result is $28,840 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 51.8. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 71.7. 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 Lake Charles, LA row
The employment RSE for this Dishwashers row is 13.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.7%. 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 200 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $25,210 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 Dishwashers. It uses a Lake Charles, 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 $24,760 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 Dishwashers row for Lake Charles, 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 200 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.63 is not a growth score. Rank 373 of 390 is not a place score. The 85.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 35-9021 in BLS area 29340. 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 200 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.
