Questions, answered
Economists pay in Puerto Rico: common questions
What is the median wage for Economists in Puerto Rico?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $70,750 per year for Economists in Puerto Rico. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Economists pay higher in Puerto Rico than nationally?
Puerto Rico's published median was 43.3% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Puerto Rico?
No. The BLS wage is nominal, and WageScope has no exact current BEA Regional Price Parity row for this BLS area. It does not substitute a nearby place or invent an adjustment.
How many Economists jobs does BLS estimate in Puerto Rico?
BLS published an employment estimate of 100 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Economists median in Puerto Rico at $70,750 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 72.
BLS lists 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 $72,570 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Puerto Rico's Economists median is 43.3% 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 72. SOC 19-3011 names Economists. Area 72 names Puerto Rico. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 19-3011/72 row reports 100 wage and salary jobs, 0.1 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.9 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 19-3011/72, the annual median is $70,750 per year, while the matching mean is $72,570 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 72 reports 938,710 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $38,840. Its annual median is $28,680. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.7%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 19-3011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Puerto Rico runs from $21,840 at the 10th percentile to $64,420 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $22,490. The median is $28,680. The 75th percentile is $44,090. 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 72. They do not show related skills or a path into Economists.
1. Area 72, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 41,230 jobs, $22,560 annual median, 43.92 jobs per 1,000, and 1.75 location quotient.
2. Area 72, SOC 37-2011, Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners: 29,030 jobs, $21,890 annual median, 30.93 jobs per 1,000, and 2.18 location quotient.
3. Area 72, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 27,320 jobs, $22,140 annual median, 29.11 jobs per 1,000, and 1.46 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Puerto Rico wage ladder for Economists
The 10th percentile is $51,050 per year. The 25th percentile is $64,320 per year. The median is $70,750 per year. The 75th percentile is $76,650 per year. The 90th percentile is $85,630 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 $64,320 per year to $76,650 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $34,580. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Puerto Rico has a annual median of $70,750 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $124,720 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is 43.3% 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.
Puerto Rico ranks 41 of 41 among states and territories 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 41 of 41 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.
38. Nebraska has a Economists median of $75,880 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.74.
39. Louisiana has a Economists median of $73,050 per year, 140 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.64.
40. Kentucky has a Economists median of $71,400 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.42.
Where Economists medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 19-3011, 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 $167,590 per year. Puerto Rico sits at $70,750 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. District of Columbia has a Economists median of $167,590 per year, or $96,840 above Puerto Rico. BLS lists 3,000 jobs there, compared with 100 in Puerto Rico. The location quotient is 37.34.
2. New Jersey has a Economists median of $167,550 per year, or $96,800 above Puerto Rico. BLS lists 280 jobs there, compared with 100 in Puerto Rico. The location quotient is 0.57.
3. Delaware has a Economists median of $159,120 per year, or $88,370 above Puerto Rico. BLS lists 70 jobs there, compared with 100 in Puerto Rico. The location quotient is 1.22.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Economists jobs
District of Columbia has the largest published state job estimate for Economists in this same-source set, at 3,000 jobs. Puerto Rico has 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. District of Columbia has 3,000 estimated Economists jobs, a gap of 2,900 jobs from Puerto Rico. Its median is $167,590 per year, or $96,840 above Puerto Rico. Its location quotient is 37.34.
2. Maryland has 1,130 estimated Economists jobs, a gap of 1,030 jobs from Puerto Rico. Its median is $144,680 per year, or $73,930 above Puerto Rico. Its location quotient is 3.56.
3. Massachusetts has 1,030 estimated Economists jobs, a gap of 930 jobs from Puerto Rico. Its median is $106,380 per year, or $35,630 above Puerto Rico. Its location quotient is 2.48.
Local-share leaders
Where Economists takes the largest share of local jobs
District of Columbia has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 37.34. Puerto Rico has 0.9. 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. District of Columbia has a location quotient of 37.34, a gap of 36.44 from Puerto Rico. BLS lists 3,000 Economists jobs and a median of $167,590 per year, or $96,840 above Puerto Rico.
2. Maryland has a location quotient of 3.56, a gap of 2.66 from Puerto Rico. BLS lists 1,130 Economists jobs and a median of $144,680 per year, or $73,930 above Puerto Rico.
3. Massachusetts has a location quotient of 2.48, a gap of 1.58 from Puerto Rico. BLS lists 1,030 Economists jobs and a median of $106,380 per year, or $35,630 above Puerto Rico.
Job scale and share
How common Economists is in Puerto Rico
BLS lists 100 Economists jobs in Puerto Rico. It also lists 0.1 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 0.9. 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 Puerto Rico is $28,680 per year. The Economists median is $70,750 per year. Economists is 146.7% 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 Puerto Rico. 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. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Puerto Rico median of $73,570 per year. BLS lists 7,190 jobs and a location quotient of 0.34.
2. Business Operations Specialists, All Other, SOC 13-1199, has a Puerto Rico median of $46,700 per year. BLS lists 9,360 jobs and a location quotient of 1.43.
3. Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers, SOC 33-3051, has a Puerto Rico median of $45,510 per year. BLS lists 11,640 jobs and a location quotient of 2.88.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Puerto Rico
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Puerto Rico table, at 41,230 jobs. Economists has 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 938,710. 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. Retail Salespersons has 41,230 jobs in Puerto Rico, a gap of 41,130 from Economists. Its median is $22,560 per year, or $48,190 below Economists. Its location quotient is 1.75.
2. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has 29,030 jobs in Puerto Rico, a gap of 28,930 from Economists. Its median is $21,890 per year, or $48,860 below Economists. Its location quotient is 2.18.
3. Cashiers has 27,320 jobs in Puerto Rico, a gap of 27,220 from Economists. Its median is $22,140 per year, or $48,610 below Economists. Its location quotient is 1.46.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Puerto Rico
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Puerto Rico role table, at $73,570 per year. Economists has $70,750 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $28,680 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 $73,570 per year in Puerto Rico, or $2,820 above Economists. BLS lists 7,190 jobs, compared with 100 for Economists. Its location quotient is 0.34.
2. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a median of $46,700 per year in Puerto Rico, or $24,050 below Economists. BLS lists 9,360 jobs, compared with 100 for Economists. Its location quotient is 1.43.
3. Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers has a median of $45,510 per year in Puerto Rico, or $25,240 below Economists. BLS lists 11,640 jobs, compared with 100 for Economists. Its location quotient is 2.88.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Puerto Rico
Security Guards has the highest location quotient in the bounded Puerto Rico role table, at 3.37. Economists has 0.9. 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. Security Guards has a location quotient of 3.37 in Puerto Rico, a gap of 2.47 from Economists. BLS lists 26,100 jobs and a median of $21,840 per year, or $48,910 below Economists.
2. Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers has a location quotient of 2.88 in Puerto Rico, a gap of 1.98 from Economists. BLS lists 11,640 jobs and a median of $45,510 per year, or $25,240 below Economists.
3. Cooks, Institution and Cafeteria has a location quotient of 2.63 in Puerto Rico, a gap of 1.73 from Economists. BLS lists 7,000 jobs and a median of $26,260 per year, or $44,490 below Economists.
Price-level view
What $70,750 may mean after the Puerto Rico price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Puerto Rico. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $70,750 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 Economists with the U.S. or with like states and territories on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
The employment RSE for this Economists row is 14.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.3%. 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 100 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $72,570 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 Puerto Rico 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 $70,750 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 Puerto Rico 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 100 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.9 is not a growth score. Rank 41 of 41 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 19-3011 in BLS area 72. 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.
