The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education median in Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area at $51,160 per year.

The state and U.S. rows are benchmarks, 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 Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area sits for Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education

Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area ranks 119 of 137 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 119 of 137 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.

Where Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education medians lead among nonmetro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 25-2031, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Western Washington nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $103,170 per year. Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area sits at $51,160 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.

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.

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 Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs.

Roles with the largest local share in Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area

Correctional Officers and Jailers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area role table, at 9.99. Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education has 2.85. 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 Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $51,160 may mean after the Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area price level

WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $51,160 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 Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education 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 Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area row

The employment RSE for this Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education row is 0.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. 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 1,520 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $58,220 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 Central Louisiana nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education. It uses a Central 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 $51,160 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 Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education row for Central 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 1,520 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.85 is not a growth score. Rank 119 of 137 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 25-2031 in BLS area 2200002. 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.
