WageScope divides the published Firefighters 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 33-2011 and BLS area 33740.

Monroe, LA was 61.5% below the U.S. median for Firefighters. It ranked 347 of 347 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Firefighters median in Monroe, LA at $22,800 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 33-2011 and BLS area 33740.
BLS lists 280 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 $27,260 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Monroe, LA's Firefighters median is 61.5% below the U.S. Firefighters median of $59,280 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 33-2011 and area 33740. SOC 33-2011 names Firefighters. Area 33740 names Monroe, LA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 33-2011/33740 row reports 280 wage and salary jobs, 3.23 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.45 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 33-2011/33740, the annual median is $22,800 per year, while the matching mean is $27,260 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 33740 facts behind this Firefighters page
Area 33740 reports 87,500 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $48,850. Its annual median is $38,150. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 33-2011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Monroe, LA runs from $21,520 at the 10th percentile to $83,040 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $28,170. The median is $38,150. The 75th percentile is $58,380. This is a place check, not a pay range for Firefighters.
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 33740. They do not show related skills or a path into Firefighters.
1. Area 33740, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 4,530 jobs, $21,720 annual median, 51.82 jobs per 1,000, and 1.87 location quotient.
2. Area 33740, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 2,830 jobs, $35,260 annual median, 32.39 jobs per 1,000, and 1.71 location quotient.
3. Area 33740, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 2,350 jobs, $27,710 annual median, 26.85 jobs per 1,000, and 1.07 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Monroe, LA wage ladder for Firefighters
The 10th percentile is $21,380 per year. The 25th percentile is $21,380 per year. The median is $22,800 per year. The 75th percentile is $33,240 per year. The 90th percentile is $35,180 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 $21,380 per year to $33,240 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $13,800. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Monroe, LA has a annual median of $22,800 per year. Louisiana has $33,120 per year. The U.S. row has $59,280 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Monroe, LA is 31.2% below Louisiana on the same published median. Monroe, LA is 61.5% 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.
Monroe, LA ranks 347 of 347 among metro areas with a published annual median for Firefighters. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 347 of 347 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.
344. Slidell-Mandeville-Covington, LA has a Firefighters median of $29,500 per year, 390 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.77.
345. Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, LA has a Firefighters median of $28,360 per year, 170 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.89.
346. Hammond, LA has a Firefighters median of $28,330 per year, 170 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.6.
The rows below use the same SOC 33-2011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $152,100 per year. Monroe, LA sits at $22,800 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Firefighters 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. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Firefighters median of $152,100 per year, or $129,300 above Monroe, LA. BLS lists 1,330 jobs there, compared with 280 in Monroe, LA. The location quotient is 0.53.
2. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Firefighters median of $113,700 per year, or $90,900 above Monroe, LA. BLS lists 3,450 jobs there, compared with 280 in Monroe, LA. The location quotient is 0.65.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Firefighters jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Firefighters in this same-source set, at 14,960 jobs. Monroe, LA has 280. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 14,960 estimated Firefighters jobs, a gap of 14,680 jobs from Monroe, LA. Its median is $106,420 per year, or $83,620 above Monroe, LA. Its location quotient is 0.71.
2. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has 14,560 estimated Firefighters jobs, a gap of 14,280 jobs from Monroe, LA. Its median is $82,820 per year, or $60,020 above Monroe, LA. Its location quotient is 1.45.
Local-share leaders
Where Firefighters takes the largest share of local jobs
Lake Havasu City-Kingman, AZ has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.96. Monroe, LA has 1.45. 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 Firefighters 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. Lake Havasu City-Kingman, AZ has a location quotient of 3.96, a gap of 2.51 from Monroe, LA. BLS lists 500 Firefighters jobs and a median of $54,810 per year, or $32,010 above Monroe, LA.
2. Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Port Royal, SC has a location quotient of 3.5, a gap of 2.05 from Monroe, LA. BLS lists 640 Firefighters jobs and a median of $50,210 per year, or $27,410 above Monroe, LA.
3. Hinesville, GA has a location quotient of 3.22, a gap of 1.77 from Monroe, LA. BLS lists 150 Firefighters jobs and a median of $49,210 per year, or $26,410 above Monroe, LA.
Job scale and share
How common Firefighters is in Monroe, LA
BLS lists 280 Firefighters jobs in Monroe, LA. It also lists 3.23 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 1.45. A value of 1 means Firefighters 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.
The all-occupations median in Monroe, LA is $38,150 per year. The Firefighters median is $22,800 per year. Firefighters is 40.2% 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 Monroe, 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 Firefighters. 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 Monroe, LA median of $22,430 per year. BLS lists 1,630 jobs and a location quotient of 3.25.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a Monroe, LA median of $21,720 per year. BLS lists 4,530 jobs and a location quotient of 1.87.
3. Fast Food and Counter Workers, SOC 35-3023, has a Monroe, LA median of $21,550 per year. BLS lists 2,060 jobs and a location quotient of 0.95.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Monroe, LA
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Monroe, LA table, at 4,530 jobs. Firefighters has 280 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 87,500. 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 Firefighters's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 4,530 jobs in Monroe, LA, a gap of 4,250 from Firefighters. Its median is $21,720 per year, or $1,080 below Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.87.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 2,830 jobs in Monroe, LA, a gap of 2,550 from Firefighters. Its median is $35,260 per year, or $12,460 above Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.71.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Monroe, LA
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Monroe, LA role table, at $94,240 per year. Firefighters has $22,800 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $38,150 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 $94,240 per year in Monroe, LA, or $71,440 above Firefighters. BLS lists 1,740 jobs, compared with 280 for Firefighters. Its location quotient is 0.88.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $78,270 per year in Monroe, LA, or $55,470 above Firefighters. BLS lists 2,340 jobs, compared with 280 for Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.23.
3. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products has a median of $61,840 per year in Monroe, LA, or $39,040 above Firefighters. BLS lists 770 jobs, compared with 280 for Firefighters. Its location quotient is 1.1.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Monroe, LA
Food Preparation Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Monroe, LA role table, at 3.25. Firefighters has 1.45. 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 Firefighters 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 3.25 in Monroe, LA, a gap of 1.80 from Firefighters. BLS lists 1,630 jobs and a median of $22,430 per year, or $370 below Firefighters.
2. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has a location quotient of 3.11 in Monroe, LA, a gap of 1.66 from Firefighters. BLS lists 1,130 jobs and a median of $55,360 per year, or $32,560 above Firefighters.
3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 1.87 in Monroe, LA, a gap of 0.42 from Firefighters. BLS lists 4,530 jobs and a median of $21,720 per year, or $1,080 below Firefighters.
Price-level view
What $22,800 may mean after the Monroe, LA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Monroe, LA is 83.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 16.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $22,800 Firefighters median by 83.6 divided by 100. The result is $27,274 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 42.8. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 72.2. 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 Firefighters row is 12.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.9%. 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 280 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $27,260 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 Firefighters. It uses a Monroe, 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 $22,800 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 Firefighters row for Monroe, 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 280 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.45 is not a growth score. Rank 347 of 347 is not a place score. The 83.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 33-2011 in BLS area 33740. 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.
