Start with the answer
Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Managers pay in Alabama and Alaska
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Managers is $118,320 per year in Alabama. It is $103,080 per year in Alaska. Alabama is 14.8% above Alaska on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 11-3071 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 1,250 wage and salary jobs in Alabama and Not published in Alaska. 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.
