Do Long Beach residents in management work earn more than employers in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA area pay?

Long Beach residents working in management occupations earn a median of $89,366 (Census ACS 5-year 2023, tables S2401 and B24011), against $128,540 as the median of the 37 wages BLS publishes for that same occupation group in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA area (BLS OEWS, May 2025), a difference of 30%, with the employers figure the higher of the two.

Both sides of that figure describe the whole management group, not this one role. In the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA area the group covers 37 occupations BLS publishes a wage for, from education and childcare administrators, preschool and daycare at $67,140 to chief executives at $234,290 (BLS OEWS, May 2025), with personal service managers, all other at $78,910 inside it.

That comparison is between two different measures, not a pay gap. The two weight the same occupation group differently: the Census figure is the midpoint across the people who actually hold those jobs, so a group carrying a few very well paid occupations is pulled toward them, while the BLS figure is the midpoint across the 37 published occupation wages, which counts each of those occupations once whatever its headcount. Census also counts where people live and BLS counts where the jobs are, and the two cover different populations, Census the civilian employed population 16 and over, BLS wage-and-salary jobs only. Read the number against other cities, where the same definitional difference applies on both sides, rather than as a shortfall.

Published wages across this group in the metro run above what Long Beach residents in it earn, which usually means employers here draw this talent from beyond the city line rather than from inside it.

That figure covers every occupation in the industry, not this role alone, so read it as the local churn rate rather than as a number about personal service managers, all other. It still tells you what you are hiring into: a low-churn market, where people do not move often and passive candidates are the whole game.
