Start with the answer
Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Managers pay in California and Delaware
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Managers is $123,780 per year in California. It is $145,000 per year in Delaware. California is 14.6% below Delaware 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 30,540 wage and salary jobs in California and 310 in Delaware. 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.
