Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers pay in Delaware and Hawaii
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers is $57,030 per year in Delaware. It is $95,890 per year in Hawaii. Delaware is 40.5% below Hawaii on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 47-2051 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 400 wage and salary jobs in Delaware and 650 in Hawaii. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
