Start with the answer
Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Managers pay in Delaware and New Jersey
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Managers is $145,000 per year in Delaware. It is $130,610 per year in New Jersey. Delaware is 11.0% above New Jersey 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 310 wage and salary jobs in Delaware and 9,120 in New Jersey. 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.
