BLS metro-level wage data places Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers pay in Baton Rouge, LA at a median of $58,180 per year ($27.97/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $47,810, Baton Rouge pays +22% above, signaling either concentrated employer demand, a cost-of-living premium, or both. Approximately 300 computer, automated teller, and office machine repairerss are employed across the Baton Rouge MSA in SOC 49-2011.

The Baton Rouge pay distribution spans from $37,110 at the 10th percentile to $86,020 at the 90th — a 2.3× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro. The 25th percentile sits at $43,830 and the 75th at $69,750, so half of Baton Rouge-based computer, automated teller, and office machine repairerss earn within that middle band.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Baton Rouge, LA covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide LA data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
