Shuttle Drivers and Chauffeurs pay in Hawaii and Massachusetts
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Shuttle Drivers and Chauffeurs is $50,310 per year in Hawaii. It is $43,590 per year in Massachusetts. Hawaii is 15.4% above Massachusetts on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 53-3053 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 2,490 wage and salary jobs in Hawaii and 12,620 in Massachusetts. 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.
