2.5%
New Orleans-Metairie, LA was 6.2% below the U.S. median for Tour and Travel Guides. It ranked 88 of 167 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Tour and Travel Guides median says in New Orleans-Metairie, LA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Tour and Travel Guides median in New Orleans-Metairie, LA at $35,770 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 39-7010 and BLS area 35380.
BLS lists 240 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 $42,160 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
New Orleans-Metairie, LA's Tour and Travel Guides median is 6.2% below the U.S. Tour and Travel Guides median of $38,120 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 39-7010 with area 35380
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 39-7010 and area 35380. SOC 39-7010 names Tour and Travel Guides. Area 35380 names New Orleans-Metairie, LA. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 39-7010/35380 row reports 240 wage and salary jobs, 0.53 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.54 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 39-7010/35380, the annual median is $35,770 per year, while the matching mean is $42,160 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
39-7010/35380 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.
Place source check
BLS area 35380 facts behind this Tour and Travel Guides page
Area 35380 reports 445,550 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $61,050. Its annual median is $47,290. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 39-7010 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in New Orleans-Metairie, LA runs from $23,690 at the 10th percentile to $106,950 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $31,690. The median is $47,290. The 75th percentile is $74,860. This is a place check, not a pay range for Tour and Travel Guides.
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 35380. They do not show related skills or a path into Tour and Travel Guides.
1. Area 35380, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 12,030 jobs, $30,400 annual median, 27.01 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.

Read the New Orleans-Metairie, LA wage ladder for Tour and Travel Guides
The 10th percentile is $22,840 per year. The 25th percentile is $26,930 per year. The median is $35,770 per year. The 75th percentile is $53,580 per year. The 90th percentile is $81,300 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 $26,930 per year to $53,580 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $58,460. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare New Orleans-Metairie, LA with its state and the U.S.
New Orleans-Metairie, LA has a annual median of $35,770 per year. Louisiana has $32,060 per year. The U.S. row has $38,120 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
New Orleans-Metairie, LA is 11.6% above Louisiana on the same published median. New Orleans-Metairie, LA is 6.2% 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where New Orleans-Metairie, LA sits for Tour and Travel Guides
New Orleans-Metairie, LA ranks 88 of 167 among metro areas with a published annual median for Tour and Travel Guides. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 88 of 167 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.
85. Memphis, TN-MS-AR has a Tour and Travel Guides median of $36,100 per year, 210 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.99.
86. Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX has a Tour and Travel Guides median of $35,990 per year, 670 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.6.
87. Worcester, MA has a Tour and Travel Guides median of $35,990 per year, 100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.86.
89. Rapid City, SD has a Tour and Travel Guides median of $35,490 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 4.54.
Pay leaders
Where Tour and Travel Guides medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 39-7010, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has the highest published median in this set, at $63,630 per year. New Orleans-Metairie, LA sits at $35,770 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Tour and Travel Guides 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. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Tour and Travel Guides median of $63,630 per year, or $27,860 above New Orleans-Metairie, LA. BLS lists 870 jobs there, compared with 240 in New Orleans-Metairie, LA. The location quotient is 1.21.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Tour and Travel Guides median of $59,330 per year, or $23,560 above New Orleans-Metairie, LA. BLS lists 640 jobs there, compared with 240 in New Orleans-Metairie, LA. The location quotient is 1.63.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Tour and Travel Guides jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Tour and Travel Guides in this same-source set, at 2,360 jobs. New Orleans-Metairie, LA has 240. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 2,360 estimated Tour and Travel Guides jobs, a gap of 2,120 jobs from New Orleans-Metairie, LA. Its median is $42,870 per year, or $7,100 above New Orleans-Metairie, LA. Its location quotient is 1.09.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 2,180 estimated Tour and Travel Guides jobs, a gap of 1,940 jobs from New Orleans-Metairie, LA. Its median is $45,610 per year, or $9,840 above New Orleans-Metairie, LA. Its location quotient is 0.67.
Local-share leaders
Where Tour and Travel Guides takes the largest share of local jobs
Flagstaff, AZ has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 17.76. New Orleans-Metairie, LA has 1.54. 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 Tour and Travel Guides 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. Flagstaff, AZ has a location quotient of 17.76, a gap of 16.22 from New Orleans-Metairie, LA. BLS lists 410 Tour and Travel Guides jobs and a median of $37,980 per year, or $2,210 above New Orleans-Metairie, LA.
2. Fairbanks-College, AK has a location quotient of 11.3, a gap of 9.76 from New Orleans-Metairie, LA. BLS lists 140 Tour and Travel Guides jobs and a median of $38,730 per year, or $2,960 above New Orleans-Metairie, LA.
3. Kahului-Wailuku, HI has a location quotient of 10.34, a gap of 8.80 from New Orleans-Metairie, LA. BLS lists 260 Tour and Travel Guides jobs and a median of $49,430 per year, or $13,660 above New Orleans-Metairie, LA.
Job scale and share
How common Tour and Travel Guides is in New Orleans-Metairie, LA
BLS lists 240 Tour and Travel Guides jobs in New Orleans-Metairie, LA. It also lists 0.53 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 1.54. A value of 1 means Tour and Travel Guides 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.
Local job mix
Tour and Travel Guides beside other roles in New Orleans-Metairie, LA
The all-occupations median in New Orleans-Metairie, LA is $47,290 per year. The Tour and Travel Guides median is $35,770 per year. Tour and Travel Guides is 24.4% 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 New Orleans-Metairie, 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 Tour and Travel Guides. 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. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a New Orleans-Metairie, LA median of $36,380 per year. BLS lists 9,220 jobs and a location quotient of 1.09.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in New Orleans-Metairie, LA
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded New Orleans-Metairie, LA table, at 12,030 jobs. Tour and Travel Guides has 240 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 445,550. 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 Tour and Travel Guides's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 12,030 jobs in New Orleans-Metairie, LA, a gap of 11,790 from Tour and Travel Guides. Its median is $30,400 per year, or $5,370 below Tour and Travel Guides. Its location quotient is 1.08.
2. Registered Nurses has 11,530 jobs in New Orleans-Metairie, LA, a gap of 11,290 from Tour and Travel Guides. Its median is $81,850 per year, or $46,080 above Tour and Travel Guides. Its location quotient is 1.19.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around New Orleans-Metairie, LA
Lawyers has the highest published median in the bounded New Orleans-Metairie, LA role table, at $121,290 per year. Tour and Travel Guides has $35,770 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,290 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. Lawyers has a median of $121,290 per year in New Orleans-Metairie, LA, or $85,520 above Tour and Travel Guides. BLS lists 4,330 jobs, compared with 240 for Tour and Travel Guides. Its location quotient is 2.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $105,110 per year in New Orleans-Metairie, LA, or $69,340 above Tour and Travel Guides. BLS lists 10,670 jobs, compared with 240 for Tour and Travel Guides. Its location quotient is 1.06.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,850 per year in New Orleans-Metairie, LA, or $46,080 above Tour and Travel Guides. BLS lists 11,530 jobs, compared with 240 for Tour and Travel Guides. Its location quotient is 1.19.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in New Orleans-Metairie, LA
Food Preparation Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded New Orleans-Metairie, LA role table, at 2.83. Tour and Travel Guides has 1.54. 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 Tour and Travel Guides 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 2.83 in New Orleans-Metairie, LA, a gap of 1.29 from Tour and Travel Guides. BLS lists 7,250 jobs and a median of $26,200 per year, or $9,570 below Tour and Travel Guides.
2. Lawyers has a location quotient of 2 in New Orleans-Metairie, LA, a gap of 0.46 from Tour and Travel Guides. BLS lists 4,330 jobs and a median of $121,290 per year, or $85,520 above Tour and Travel Guides.
3. Bartenders has a location quotient of 1.94 in New Orleans-Metairie, LA, a gap of 0.40 from Tour and Travel Guides. BLS lists 4,200 jobs and a median of $21,230 per year, or $14,540 below Tour and Travel Guides.
Price-level view
What $35,770 may mean after the New Orleans-Metairie, LA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for New Orleans-Metairie, LA is 92.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.4% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $35,770 Tour and Travel Guides median by 92.6 divided by 100. The result is $38,630 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 86.0. 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.
Data care
How much care to use with the New Orleans-Metairie, LA row
The employment RSE for this Tour and Travel Guides row is 15.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 7%. 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 240 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $42,160 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.
Job and résumé path
Use New Orleans-Metairie, LA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Tour and Travel Guides. It uses a New Orleans-Metairie, 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 $35,770 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.
Limits
What the Tour and Travel Guides row for New Orleans-Metairie, 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 240 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.54 is not a growth score. Rank 88 of 167 is not a place score. The 92.6 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 39-7010 in BLS area 35380. 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 240 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.
