Production, Planning, and Expediting Clerks pay in New Hampshire and Washington
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Production, Planning, and Expediting Clerks is $61,590 per year in New Hampshire. It is $77,190 per year in Washington. New Hampshire is 20.2% below Washington on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 43-5061 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 1,600 wage and salary jobs in New Hampshire and Not published in Washington. 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.
