What the Lawyers median says in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Lawyers median in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area at $81,060 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 2200006.
BLS lists 210 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 $98,840 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area's Lawyers median is 49.2% below 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 2200006. SOC 23-1011 names Lawyers. Area 2200006 names Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 23-1011/2200006 row reports 210 wage and salary jobs, 2.59 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.53 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 23-1011/2200006, the annual median is $81,060 per year, while the matching mean is $98,840 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
23-1011/2200006 10th percentile: $16,060 per year.
23-1011/2200006 25th percentile: $59,980 per year.
23-1011/2200006 median: $81,060 per year.
23-1011/2200006 75th percentile: $112,560 per year.
23-1011/2200006 90th percentile: $175,610 per year.
Area 2200006 reports 80,130 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $50,390. Its annual median is $40,550. 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 Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area runs from $21,770 at the 10th percentile to $83,740 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $28,740. The median is $40,550. The 75th percentile is $59,730. 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 2200006. They do not show related skills or a path into Lawyers.
1. Area 2200006, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 2,630 jobs, $21,970 annual median, 32.84 jobs per 1,000, and 1.19 location quotient.
2. Area 2200006, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 2,480 jobs, $23,880 annual median, 31 jobs per 1,000, and 1.56 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Lawyers
The 10th percentile is $16,060 per year. The 25th percentile is $59,980 per year. The median is $81,060 per year. The 75th percentile is $112,560 per year. The 90th percentile is $175,610 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 $59,980 per year to $112,560 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $159,550. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $81,060 per year. Louisiana has $104,100 per year. The U.S. row has $159,670 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area is 22.1% below Louisiana on the same published median. Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area is 49.2% 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.
Where Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area sits for Lawyers
Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area ranks 123 of 131 among nonmetro 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 123 of 131 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.
120. North Missouri nonmetropolitan area has a Lawyers median of $84,640 per year, 150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.3.
121. Southwest Missouri nonmetropolitan area has a Lawyers median of $84,200 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.26.
122. Northeast Louisiana nonmetropolitan area has a Lawyers median of $84,140 per year, 160 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.54.
124. North Arkansas nonmetropolitan area has a Lawyers median of $79,860 per year, 160 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.27.
Pay leaders
Where Lawyers medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 23-1011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $163,960 per year. Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area sits at $81,060 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. Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a Lawyers median of $163,960 per year, or $82,900 above Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 100 jobs there, compared with 210 in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.33.
2. Alaska nonmetropolitan area has a Lawyers median of $159,730 per year, or $78,670 above Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 220 jobs there, compared with 210 in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 0.42.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Lawyers jobs
Kansas nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Lawyers in this same-source set, at 750 jobs. Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area has 210. 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. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 750 estimated Lawyers jobs, a gap of 540 jobs from Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $77,260 per year, or $3,800 below Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 0.41.
2. Central Kentucky nonmetropolitan area has 620 estimated Lawyers jobs, a gap of 410 jobs from Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $96,130 per year, or $15,070 above Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 0.74.
Local-share leaders
Where Lawyers takes the largest share of local jobs
Central New Hampshire nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 1.11. Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area has 0.53. 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. Central New Hampshire nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 1.11, a gap of 0.58 from Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 540 Lawyers jobs and a median of $106,880 per year, or $25,820 above Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area.
2. Virgin Islands (nonmetro area) has a location quotient of 0.97, a gap of 0.44 from Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 150 Lawyers jobs and a median of $118,440 per year, or $37,380 above Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Lawyers is in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 210 Lawyers jobs in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 2.59 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 0.53. 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.
Lawyers beside other roles in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area is $40,550 per year. The Lawyers median is $81,060 per year. Lawyers is 99.9% 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 Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. 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. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area median of $77,980 per year. BLS lists 1,350 jobs and a location quotient of 0.77.
2. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area median of $93,610 per year. BLS lists 1,890 jobs and a location quotient of 1.05.
3. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products, SOC 41-4012, has a Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area median of $62,630 per year. BLS lists 730 jobs and a location quotient of 1.15.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area table, at 2,630 jobs. Lawyers has 210 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 80,130. 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 2,630 jobs in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2,420 from Lawyers. Its median is $21,970 per year, or $59,090 below Lawyers. Its location quotient is 1.19.
2. Cashiers has 2,480 jobs in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 2,270 from Lawyers. Its median is $23,880 per year, or $57,180 below Lawyers. Its location quotient is 1.56.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area role table, at $93,610 per year. Lawyers has $81,060 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $40,550 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 $93,610 per year in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area, or $12,550 above Lawyers. BLS lists 1,890 jobs, compared with 210 for Lawyers. Its location quotient is 1.05.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $77,980 per year in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area, or $3,080 below Lawyers. BLS lists 1,350 jobs, compared with 210 for Lawyers. Its location quotient is 0.77.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area
Community and Social Service Specialists, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area role table, at 11.61. Lawyers has 0.53. 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. Community and Social Service Specialists, All Other has a location quotient of 11.61 in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 11.08 from Lawyers. BLS lists 640 jobs and a median of $51,760 per year, or $29,300 below Lawyers.
2. Production Workers, All Other has a location quotient of 5.46 in Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4.93 from Lawyers. BLS lists 710 jobs and a median of $45,810 per year, or $35,250 below Lawyers.
Price-level view
What $81,060 may mean after the Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $81,060 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 Lawyers with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
How much care to use with the Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Lawyers row is 22.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 10.6%. 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 210 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $98,840 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.
Use Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Lawyers. It uses a Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area 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 $81,060 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 Southwest Louisiana nonmetropolitan area 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 210 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.53 is not a growth score. Rank 123 of 131 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 23-1011 in BLS area 2200006. 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 210 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.
