BEA's 2024 all-items price index for El Centro, CA was 95.2, or 4.8% below the national price level. Its housing index was 66.3.

WageScope divides the published Lawyers 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 23-1011 and BLS area 20940.

El Centro, CA was 1.8% above the U.S. median for Lawyers. It ranked 31 of 378 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 Lawyers median in El Centro, CA at $162,580 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 23-1011 and BLS area 20940.
BLS lists 110 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 $157,830 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
El Centro, CA's Lawyers median is 1.8% above the U.S. Lawyers median of $159,670 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 23-1011 and area 20940. SOC 23-1011 names Lawyers. Area 20940 names El Centro, CA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 23-1011/20940 row reports 110 wage and salary jobs, 1.71 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.35 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 23-1011/20940, the annual median is $162,580 per year, while the matching mean is $157,830 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 20940 reports 65,430 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $61,630. Its annual median is $45,140. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 23-1011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in El Centro, CA runs from $34,320 at the 10th percentile to $115,870 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,550. The median is $45,140. The 75th percentile is $74,120. This is a place check, not a pay range for Lawyers.
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 20940. They do not show related skills or a path into Lawyers.
1. Area 20940, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 8,020 jobs, $34,320 annual median, 122.52 jobs per 1,000, and 4.42 location quotient.
2. Area 20940, SOC 45-2092, Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse: 3,350 jobs, $35,140 annual median, 51.22 jobs per 1,000, and 30 location quotient.
3. Area 20940, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 1,960 jobs, $35,090 annual median, 29.92 jobs per 1,000, and 1.51 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the El Centro, CA wage ladder for Lawyers
The 10th percentile is $95,160 per year. The 25th percentile is $128,810 per year. The median is $162,580 per year. The 75th percentile is $185,000 per year. The 90th percentile is $207,480 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 $128,810 per year to $185,000 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $112,320. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
El Centro, CA has a annual median of $162,580 per year. California has $195,080 per year. The U.S. row has $159,670 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
El Centro, CA is 16.7% below California on the same published median. El Centro, CA is 1.8% above 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.
El Centro, CA ranks 31 of 378 among metro areas with a published annual median for Lawyers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 31 of 378 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.
28. Midland, TX has a Lawyers median of $163,090 per year, 280 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.47.
29. Albany, OR has a Lawyers median of $162,880 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.23.
30. Fresno, CA has a Lawyers median of $162,680 per year, 1,570 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.68.
32. Peoria, IL has a Lawyers median of $161,150 per year, 560 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.69.
33. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has a Lawyers median of $160,320 per year, 23,270 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.7.
Pay leaders
Where Lawyers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 23-1011, 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 $301,320 per year. El Centro, CA sits at $162,580 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Lawyers 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 Lawyers median of $301,320 per year, or $138,740 above El Centro, CA. BLS lists 6,040 jobs there, compared with 110 in El Centro, CA. The location quotient is 1.1.
2. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Lawyers median of $212,500 per year, or $49,920 above El Centro, CA. BLS lists 18,470 jobs there, compared with 110 in El Centro, CA. The location quotient is 1.6.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Lawyers jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Lawyers in this same-source set, at 94,610 jobs. El Centro, CA has 110. 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 94,610 estimated Lawyers jobs, a gap of 94,500 jobs from El Centro, CA. Its median is $208,880 per year, or $46,300 above El Centro, CA. Its location quotient is 2.05.
2. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has 46,840 estimated Lawyers jobs, a gap of 46,730 jobs from El Centro, CA. Its median is $195,190 per year, or $32,610 above El Centro, CA. Its location quotient is 3.08.
Local-share leaders
Where Lawyers 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 3.08. El Centro, CA has 0.35. 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 Lawyers 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 3.08, a gap of 2.73 from El Centro, CA. BLS lists 46,840 Lawyers jobs and a median of $195,190 per year, or $32,610 above El Centro, CA.
2. Tallahassee, FL has a location quotient of 2.4, a gap of 2.05 from El Centro, CA. BLS lists 2,170 Lawyers jobs and a median of $103,320 per year, or $59,260 below El Centro, CA.
3. Trenton-Princeton, NJ has a location quotient of 2.12, a gap of 1.77 from El Centro, CA. BLS lists 2,470 Lawyers jobs and a median of $138,760 per year, or $23,820 below El Centro, CA.
Job scale and share
How common Lawyers is in El Centro, CA
BLS lists 110 Lawyers jobs in El Centro, CA. It also lists 1.71 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 0.35. A value of 1 means Lawyers 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 El Centro, CA is $45,140 per year. The Lawyers median is $162,580 per year. Lawyers is 260.2% 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 El Centro, CA. 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 Lawyers. 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. Detectives and Criminal Investigators, SOC 33-3021, has a El Centro, CA median of $123,970 per year. BLS lists 770 jobs and a location quotient of 16.07.
2. Compliance Officers, SOC 13-1041, has a El Centro, CA median of $106,750 per year. BLS lists 840 jobs and a location quotient of 4.81.
3. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a El Centro, CA median of $103,450 per year. BLS lists 950 jobs and a location quotient of 0.67.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in El Centro, CA
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded El Centro, CA table, at 8,020 jobs. Lawyers has 110 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 65,430. 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 Lawyers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 8,020 jobs in El Centro, CA, a gap of 7,910 from Lawyers. Its median is $34,320 per year, or $128,260 below Lawyers. Its location quotient is 4.42.
2. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has 3,350 jobs in El Centro, CA, a gap of 3,240 from Lawyers. Its median is $35,140 per year, or $127,440 below Lawyers. Its location quotient is 30.
3. Cashiers has 1,960 jobs in El Centro, CA, a gap of 1,850 from Lawyers. Its median is $35,090 per year, or $127,490 below Lawyers. Its location quotient is 1.51.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around El Centro, CA
Detectives and Criminal Investigators has the highest published median in the bounded El Centro, CA role table, at $123,970 per year. Lawyers has $162,580 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,140 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. Detectives and Criminal Investigators has a median of $123,970 per year in El Centro, CA, or $38,610 below Lawyers. BLS lists 770 jobs, compared with 110 for Lawyers. Its location quotient is 16.07.
2. Compliance Officers has a median of $106,750 per year in El Centro, CA, or $55,830 below Lawyers. BLS lists 840 jobs, compared with 110 for Lawyers. Its location quotient is 4.81.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $103,450 per year in El Centro, CA, or $59,130 below Lawyers. BLS lists 950 jobs, compared with 110 for Lawyers. Its location quotient is 0.67.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in El Centro, CA
Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has the highest location quotient in the bounded El Centro, CA role table, at 30. Lawyers has 0.35. 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 Lawyers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has a location quotient of 30 in El Centro, CA, a gap of 29.65 from Lawyers. BLS lists 3,350 jobs and a median of $35,140 per year, or $127,440 below Lawyers.
2. Detectives and Criminal Investigators has a location quotient of 16.07 in El Centro, CA, a gap of 15.72 from Lawyers. BLS lists 770 jobs and a median of $123,970 per year, or $38,610 below Lawyers.
3. Compliance Officers has a location quotient of 4.81 in El Centro, CA, a gap of 4.46 from Lawyers. BLS lists 840 jobs and a median of $106,750 per year, or $55,830 below Lawyers.
Price-level view
What $162,580 may mean after the El Centro, CA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for El Centro, CA is 95.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 4.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $162,580 Lawyers median by 95.2 divided by 100. The result is $170,824 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 66.3. Goods are 105.2. Utilities are 157.2. Other services are 100.3. 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 Lawyers row is 8.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.6%. 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 110 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $157,830 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 Lawyers. It uses a El Centro, CA 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 $162,580 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 Lawyers row for El Centro, CA 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 110 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.35 is not a growth score. Rank 31 of 378 is not a place score. The 95.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 23-1011 in BLS area 20940. 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.
