Lafayette, LA was 20.7% below the U.S. median for Mechanical Engineers. It ranked 327 of 346 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Mechanical Engineers median says in Lafayette, LA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Mechanical Engineers median in Lafayette, LA at $82,520 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 17-2141 and BLS area 29180.
BLS lists 160 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 $98,750 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Lafayette, LA's Mechanical Engineers median is 20.7% below the U.S. Mechanical Engineers median of $104,110 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 17-2141 and area 29180. SOC 17-2141 names Mechanical Engineers. Area 29180 names Lafayette, LA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 17-2141/29180 row reports 160 wage and salary jobs, 0.88 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.46 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 17-2141/29180, the annual median is $82,520 per year, while the matching mean is $98,750 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 29180 facts behind this Mechanical Engineers page
Area 29180 reports 179,570 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $52,120. Its annual median is $41,780. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 17-2141 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Lafayette, LA runs from $22,020 at the 10th percentile to $91,330 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $29,130. The median is $41,780. The 75th percentile is $61,300. This is a place check, not a pay range for Mechanical Engineers.
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 29180. They do not show related skills or a path into Mechanical Engineers.
1. Area 29180, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 5,200 jobs, $21,400 annual median, 28.98 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.
2. Area 29180, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 5,010 jobs, $28,600 annual median, 27.88 jobs per 1,000, and 1.11 location quotient.
3. Area 29180, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 4,930 jobs, $81,960 annual median, 27.43 jobs per 1,000, and 1.26 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Lafayette, LA wage ladder for Mechanical Engineers
The 10th percentile is $61,610 per year. The 25th percentile is $76,660 per year. The median is $82,520 per year. The 75th percentile is $124,580 per year. The 90th percentile is $141,500 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 $76,660 per year to $124,580 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $79,890. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Lafayette, LA has a annual median of $82,520 per year. Louisiana has $119,540 per year. The U.S. row has $104,110 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Lafayette, LA is 31.0% below Louisiana on the same published median. Lafayette, LA is 20.7% 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.
Lafayette, LA ranks 327 of 346 among metro areas with a published annual median for Mechanical Engineers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 327 of 346 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.
324. Manhattan, KS has a Mechanical Engineers median of $83,200 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.84.
325. Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, LA has a Mechanical Engineers median of $82,900 per year, 60 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.4.
326. Oshkosh-Neenah, WI has a Mechanical Engineers median of $82,800 per year, 330 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.82.
328. Columbia, MO has a Mechanical Engineers median of $82,200 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.41.
Pay leaders
Where Mechanical Engineers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 17-2141, 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 $168,030 per year. Lafayette, LA sits at $82,520 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Mechanical Engineers 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 Mechanical Engineers median of $168,030 per year, or $85,510 above Lafayette, LA. BLS lists 5,540 jobs there, compared with 160 in Lafayette, LA. The location quotient is 2.56.
2. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Mechanical Engineers median of $161,370 per year, or $78,850 above Lafayette, LA. BLS lists 5,150 jobs there, compared with 160 in Lafayette, LA. The location quotient is 1.14.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Mechanical Engineers jobs
Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI has the largest published metro job estimate for Mechanical Engineers in this same-source set, at 22,500 jobs. Lafayette, LA has 160. 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. Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI has 22,500 estimated Mechanical Engineers jobs, a gap of 22,340 jobs from Lafayette, LA. Its median is $109,470 per year, or $26,950 above Lafayette, LA. Its location quotient is 6.19.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 8,780 estimated Mechanical Engineers jobs, a gap of 8,620 jobs from Lafayette, LA. Its median is $123,900 per year, or $41,380 above Lafayette, LA. Its location quotient is 0.73.
Local-share leaders
Where Mechanical Engineers takes the largest share of local jobs
Columbus, IN has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 10.52. Lafayette, LA has 0.46. 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 Mechanical Engineers 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. Columbus, IN has a location quotient of 10.52, a gap of 10.06 from Lafayette, LA. BLS lists 1,000 Mechanical Engineers jobs and a median of $127,700 per year, or $45,180 above Lafayette, LA.
2. Peoria, IL has a location quotient of 6.7, a gap of 6.24 from Lafayette, LA. BLS lists 2,120 Mechanical Engineers jobs and a median of $128,710 per year, or $46,190 above Lafayette, LA.
3. Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI has a location quotient of 6.19, a gap of 5.73 from Lafayette, LA. BLS lists 22,500 Mechanical Engineers jobs and a median of $109,470 per year, or $26,950 above Lafayette, LA.
Job scale and share
How common Mechanical Engineers is in Lafayette, LA
BLS lists 160 Mechanical Engineers jobs in Lafayette, LA. It also lists 0.88 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 0.46. A value of 1 means Mechanical Engineers 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.
Mechanical Engineers beside other roles in Lafayette, LA
The all-occupations median in Lafayette, LA is $41,780 per year. The Mechanical Engineers median is $82,520 per year. Mechanical Engineers is 97.5% 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 Lafayette, 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 Mechanical Engineers. 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 Lafayette, LA median of $81,960 per year. BLS lists 4,930 jobs and a location quotient of 1.26.
2. Managers, All Other, SOC 11-9199, has a Lafayette, LA median of $88,370 per year. BLS lists 1,670 jobs and a location quotient of 2.32.
3. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Lafayette, LA median of $99,510 per year. BLS lists 4,590 jobs and a location quotient of 1.13.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Lafayette, LA
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Lafayette, LA table, at 5,200 jobs. Mechanical Engineers has 160 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 179,570. 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 Mechanical Engineers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 5,200 jobs in Lafayette, LA, a gap of 5,040 from Mechanical Engineers. Its median is $21,400 per year, or $61,120 below Mechanical Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.05.
2. Retail Salespersons has 5,010 jobs in Lafayette, LA, a gap of 4,850 from Mechanical Engineers. Its median is $28,600 per year, or $53,920 below Mechanical Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.11.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Lafayette, LA
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Lafayette, LA role table, at $99,510 per year. Mechanical Engineers has $82,520 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $41,780 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 $99,510 per year in Lafayette, LA, or $16,990 above Mechanical Engineers. BLS lists 4,590 jobs, compared with 160 for Mechanical Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.13.
2. Managers, All Other has a median of $88,370 per year in Lafayette, LA, or $5,850 above Mechanical Engineers. BLS lists 1,670 jobs, compared with 160 for Mechanical Engineers. Its location quotient is 2.32.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,960 per year in Lafayette, LA, or $560 below Mechanical Engineers. BLS lists 4,930 jobs, compared with 160 for Mechanical Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Lafayette, LA
Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Lafayette, LA role table, at 3.88. Mechanical Engineers has 0.46. 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 Mechanical Engineers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers has a location quotient of 3.88 in Lafayette, LA, a gap of 3.42 from Mechanical Engineers. BLS lists 1,860 jobs and a median of $57,750 per year, or $24,770 below Mechanical Engineers.
2. Food Preparation Workers has a location quotient of 3.16 in Lafayette, LA, a gap of 2.70 from Mechanical Engineers. BLS lists 3,260 jobs and a median of $22,920 per year, or $59,600 below Mechanical Engineers.
Price-level view
What $82,520 may mean after the Lafayette, LA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Lafayette, LA is 87.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 12.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $82,520 Mechanical Engineers median by 87.2 divided by 100. The result is $94,623 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 58.8. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 71.2. 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 Mechanical Engineers row is 24.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 6.8%. 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 160 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $98,750 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 Mechanical Engineers. It uses a Lafayette, 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 $82,520 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 Mechanical Engineers row for Lafayette, 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 160 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.46 is not a growth score. Rank 327 of 346 is not a place score. The 87.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 17-2141 in BLS area 29180. 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 160 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.
