Word Processors and Typists pay in Colorado and Delaware
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Word Processors and Typists is $57,550 per year in Colorado. It is $45,480 per year in Delaware. Colorado is 26.5% above Delaware on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 43-9022 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 60 wage and salary jobs in Colorado and 50 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.
