WageScope divides the published Economists 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 19-3011 and BLS area 10740.
Questions, answered
Economists pay in Albuquerque, NM: common questions
What is the median wage for Economists in Albuquerque, NM?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $96,870 per year for Economists in Albuquerque, NM. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Economists pay higher in Albuquerque, NM than nationally?
Albuquerque, NM's published median was 22.3% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Albuquerque, NM?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 95.5 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

8.9%
Albuquerque, NM was 22.3% below the U.S. median for Economists. It ranked 44 of 62 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Economists median says in Albuquerque, NM
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Economists median in Albuquerque, NM at $96,870 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 19-3011 and BLS area 10740.
BLS lists 30 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 $103,770 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Albuquerque, NM's Economists median is 22.3% below the U.S. Economists median of $124,720 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 19-3011 and area 10740. SOC 19-3011 names Economists. Area 10740 names Albuquerque, NM. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-3011/10740 row reports 30 wage and salary jobs, 0.08 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.69 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-3011/10740, the annual median is $96,870 per year, while the matching mean is $103,770 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 10740 reports 404,700 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,480. Its annual median is $48,060. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-3011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Albuquerque, NM runs from $29,500 at the 10th percentile to $117,170 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,910. The median is $48,060. The 75th percentile is $77,220. This is a place check, not a pay range for Economists.
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 10740. They do not show related skills or a path into Economists.
1. Area 10740, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 16,860 jobs, $30,170 annual median, 41.67 jobs per 1,000, and 1.5 location quotient.
2. Area 10740, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 14,510 jobs, $29,140 annual median, 35.84 jobs per 1,000, and 1.45 location quotient.
3. Area 10740, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 11,370 jobs, $34,160 annual median, 28.09 jobs per 1,000, and 1.12 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Albuquerque, NM wage ladder for Economists
The 10th percentile is $76,420 per year. The 25th percentile is $82,810 per year. The median is $96,870 per year. The 75th percentile is $117,170 per year. The 90th percentile is $149,500 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 $82,810 per year to $117,170 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $73,080. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Albuquerque, NM with its state and the U.S.
Albuquerque, NM has a annual median of $96,870 per year. New Mexico has Not published. The U.S. row has $124,720 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Albuquerque, NM cannot be compared with New Mexico on the same published median. WageScope leaves that gap open. Albuquerque, NM is 22.3% 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.
Albuquerque, NM ranks 44 of 62 among metro areas with a published annual median for Economists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 44 of 62 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.
41. Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA has a Economists median of $100,410 per year, 250 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.02.
42. Worcester, MA has a Economists median of $99,990 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.23.
43. Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY has a Economists median of $99,200 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.67.
45. Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford, CT has a Economists median of $96,720 per year, 160 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 2.39.
Pay leaders
Where Economists medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 19-3011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the highest published median in this set, at $176,090 per year. Albuquerque, NM sits at $96,870 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Economists 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has a Economists median of $176,090 per year, or $79,220 above Albuquerque, NM. BLS lists 850 jobs there, compared with 30 in Albuquerque, NM. The location quotient is 0.78.
2. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has a Economists median of $156,750 per year, or $59,880 above Albuquerque, NM. BLS lists 4,570 jobs there, compared with 30 in Albuquerque, NM. The location quotient is 12.74.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Economists jobs
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has the largest published metro job estimate for Economists in this same-source set, at 4,570 jobs. Albuquerque, NM has 30. 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. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has 4,570 estimated Economists jobs, a gap of 4,540 jobs from Albuquerque, NM. Its median is $156,750 per year, or $59,880 above Albuquerque, NM. Its location quotient is 12.74.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 850 estimated Economists jobs, a gap of 820 jobs from Albuquerque, NM. Its median is $176,090 per year, or $79,220 above Albuquerque, NM. Its location quotient is 0.78.
Local-share leaders
Where Economists takes the largest share of local jobs
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 12.74. Albuquerque, NM has 0.69. 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 Economists 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. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has a location quotient of 12.74, a gap of 12.05 from Albuquerque, NM. BLS lists 4,570 Economists jobs and a median of $156,750 per year, or $59,880 above Albuquerque, NM.
2. Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater, WA has a location quotient of 10.93, a gap of 10.24 from Albuquerque, NM. BLS lists 160 Economists jobs and a median of $103,000 per year, or $6,130 above Albuquerque, NM.
3. Helena, MT has a location quotient of 5.9, a gap of 5.21 from Albuquerque, NM. BLS lists 30 Economists jobs and a median of $89,340 per year, or $7,530 below Albuquerque, NM.
Job scale and share
How common Economists is in Albuquerque, NM
BLS lists 30 Economists jobs in Albuquerque, NM. It also lists 0.08 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 0.69. A value of 1 means Economists 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.
The all-occupations median in Albuquerque, NM is $48,060 per year. The Economists median is $96,870 per year. Economists is 101.6% above 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 Albuquerque, NM. 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 Economists. 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. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Albuquerque, NM median of $96,040 per year. BLS lists 10,290 jobs and a location quotient of 1.17.
2. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Albuquerque, NM median of $94,640 per year. BLS lists 7,670 jobs and a location quotient of 0.84.
3. Business Operations Specialists, All Other, SOC 13-1199, has a Albuquerque, NM median of $81,070 per year. BLS lists 4,160 jobs and a location quotient of 1.47.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Albuquerque, NM
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Albuquerque, NM table, at 16,860 jobs. Economists has 30 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 404,700. 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 Economists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 16,860 jobs in Albuquerque, NM, a gap of 16,830 from Economists. Its median is $30,170 per year, or $66,700 below Economists. Its location quotient is 1.5.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 14,510 jobs in Albuquerque, NM, a gap of 14,480 from Economists. Its median is $29,140 per year, or $67,730 below Economists. Its location quotient is 1.45.
3. Retail Salespersons has 11,370 jobs in Albuquerque, NM, a gap of 11,340 from Economists. Its median is $34,160 per year, or $62,710 below Economists. Its location quotient is 1.12.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Albuquerque, NM
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Albuquerque, NM role table, at $96,040 per year. Economists has $96,870 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $48,060 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $96,040 per year in Albuquerque, NM, or $830 below Economists. BLS lists 10,290 jobs, compared with 30 for Economists. Its location quotient is 1.17.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $94,640 per year in Albuquerque, NM, or $2,230 below Economists. BLS lists 7,670 jobs, compared with 30 for Economists. Its location quotient is 0.84.
3. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a median of $81,070 per year in Albuquerque, NM, or $15,800 below Economists. BLS lists 4,160 jobs, compared with 30 for Economists. Its location quotient is 1.47.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Albuquerque, NM
Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has the highest location quotient in the bounded Albuquerque, NM role table, at 2.48. Economists has 0.69. 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 Economists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive has a location quotient of 2.48 in Albuquerque, NM, a gap of 1.79 from Economists. BLS lists 11,020 jobs and a median of $46,950 per year, or $49,920 below Economists.
2. Customer Service Representatives has a location quotient of 1.52 in Albuquerque, NM, a gap of 0.83 from Economists. BLS lists 10,270 jobs and a median of $41,790 per year, or $55,080 below Economists.
Price-level view
What $96,870 may mean after the Albuquerque, NM price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Albuquerque, NM is 95.5. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 4.5% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $96,870 Economists median by 95.5 divided by 100. The result is $101,386 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 89.2. Goods are 96.1. Utilities are 77.9. Other services are 98.5. 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 Economists row is 25.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 12.8%. 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 30 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $103,770 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 Economists. It uses a Albuquerque, NM 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 $96,870 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 Economists row for Albuquerque, NM 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 30 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.69 is not a growth score. Rank 44 of 62 is not a place score. The 95.5 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 19-3011 in BLS area 10740. 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 30 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.
