Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping pay in Delaware and Wyoming
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Weighers, Measurers, Checkers, and Samplers, Recordkeeping is $46,120 per year in Delaware. It is $62,840 per year in Wyoming. Delaware is 26.6% below Wyoming on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 43-5111 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 280 wage and salary jobs in Delaware and 60 in Wyoming. 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.
