WageScope divides the published Cargo and Freight Agents median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 43-5011 and BLS area 21.
Questions, answered
Cargo and Freight Agents pay in Kentucky: common questions
What is the median wage for Cargo and Freight Agents in Kentucky?

What the Cargo and Freight Agents median says in Kentucky
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cargo and Freight Agents median in Kentucky at $46,230 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 43-5011 and BLS area 21.
BLS lists 2,570 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $50,870 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Kentucky's Cargo and Freight Agents median is 11.5% below the U.S. Cargo and Freight Agents median of $52,260 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 43-5011 and area 21. SOC 43-5011 names Cargo and Freight Agents. Area 21 names Kentucky. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-5011/21 row reports 2,570 wage and salary jobs, 1.28 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 2.04 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-5011/21, the annual median is $46,230 per year, while the matching mean is $50,870 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 21 facts behind this Cargo and Freight Agents page
Area 21 reports 2,000,360 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $58,990. Its annual median is $46,920. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-5011 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Kentucky runs from $27,970 at the 10th percentile to $98,380 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,410. The median is $46,920. The 75th percentile is $66,760. This is a place check, not a pay range for Cargo and Freight Agents.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 21. They do not show related skills or a path into Cargo and Freight Agents.
1. Area 21, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 57,930 jobs, $42,770 annual median, 28.96 jobs per 1,000, and 1.53 location quotient.
2. Area 21, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 52,100 jobs, $79,370 annual median, 26.04 jobs per 1,000, and 1.16 location quotient.
3. Area 21, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 51,250 jobs, $29,650 annual median, 25.62 jobs per 1,000, and 1.02 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Kentucky wage ladder for Cargo and Freight Agents
The 10th percentile is $39,280 per year. The 25th percentile is $41,180 per year. The median is $46,230 per year. The 75th percentile is $58,500 per year. The 90th percentile is $75,320 per year.
A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $41,180 per year to $58,500 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $36,040. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Kentucky has a annual median of $46,230 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $52,260 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Kentucky. Kentucky is 11.5% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Kentucky ranks 45 of 51 among states and territories with a published annual median for Cargo and Freight Agents. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 45 of 51 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
42. Michigan has a Cargo and Freight Agents median of $47,940 per year, 2,150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.78.
43. Vermont has a Cargo and Freight Agents median of $47,560 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.43.
44. Nevada has a Cargo and Freight Agents median of $47,000 per year, 490 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.51.
46. Idaho has a Cargo and Freight Agents median of $45,710 per year, 300 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.57.
Pay leaders
Where Cargo and Freight Agents medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 43-5011, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. District of Columbia has the highest published median in this set, at $76,250 per year. Kentucky sits at $46,230 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Cargo and Freight Agents is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. District of Columbia has a Cargo and Freight Agents median of $76,250 per year, or $30,020 above Kentucky. BLS lists 60 jobs there, compared with 2,570 in Kentucky. The location quotient is 0.13.
2. New Hampshire has a Cargo and Freight Agents median of $67,660 per year, or $21,430 above Kentucky. BLS lists 80 jobs there, compared with 2,570 in Kentucky. The location quotient is 0.2.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Cargo and Freight Agents jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Cargo and Freight Agents in this same-source set, at 17,060 jobs. Kentucky has 2,570. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. California has 17,060 estimated Cargo and Freight Agents jobs, a gap of 14,490 jobs from Kentucky. Its median is $57,690 per year, or $11,460 above Kentucky. Its location quotient is 1.49.
2. Florida has 8,110 estimated Cargo and Freight Agents jobs, a gap of 5,540 jobs from Kentucky. Its median is $48,520 per year, or $2,290 above Kentucky. Its location quotient is 1.3.
3. Texas has 7,610 estimated Cargo and Freight Agents jobs, a gap of 5,040 jobs from Kentucky. Its median is $48,470 per year, or $2,240 above Kentucky. Its location quotient is 0.86.
Local-share leaders
Where Cargo and Freight Agents takes the largest share of local jobs
Hawaii has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.45. Kentucky has 2.04. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Cargo and Freight Agents is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Hawaii has a location quotient of 4.45, a gap of 2.41 from Kentucky. BLS lists 1,760 Cargo and Freight Agents jobs and a median of $42,400 per year, or $3,830 below Kentucky.
2. Alaska has a location quotient of 2.84, a gap of 0.80 from Kentucky. BLS lists 580 Cargo and Freight Agents jobs and a median of $52,070 per year, or $5,840 above Kentucky.
3. Kentucky has a location quotient of 2.04, a gap of 0.00 from Kentucky. BLS lists 2,570 Cargo and Freight Agents jobs and a median of $46,230 per year, or $0 above Kentucky.
Job scale and share
How common Cargo and Freight Agents is in Kentucky
BLS lists 2,570 Cargo and Freight Agents jobs in Kentucky. It also lists 1.28 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 2.04. A value of 1 means Cargo and Freight Agents has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Cargo and Freight Agents beside other roles in Kentucky
The all-occupations median in Kentucky is $46,920 per year. The Cargo and Freight Agents median is $46,230 per year. Cargo and Freight Agents is 1.5% below the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Kentucky. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Cargo and Freight Agents. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Kentucky median of $46,550 per year. BLS lists 23,480 jobs and a location quotient of 1.33.
2. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Kentucky median of $46,810 per year. BLS lists 22,190 jobs and a location quotient of 1.13.
3. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators, SOC 51-2090, has a Kentucky median of $47,950 per year. BLS lists 47,320 jobs and a location quotient of 2.62.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Kentucky
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Kentucky table, at 57,930 jobs. Cargo and Freight Agents has 2,570 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 2,000,360. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Cargo and Freight Agents's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 57,930 jobs in Kentucky, a gap of 55,360 from Cargo and Freight Agents. Its median is $42,770 per year, or $3,460 below Cargo and Freight Agents. Its location quotient is 1.53.
2. General and Operations Managers has 52,100 jobs in Kentucky, a gap of 49,530 from Cargo and Freight Agents. Its median is $79,370 per year, or $33,140 above Cargo and Freight Agents. Its location quotient is 1.16.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Kentucky
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Kentucky role table, at $81,040 per year. Cargo and Freight Agents has $46,230 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,920 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,040 per year in Kentucky, or $34,810 above Cargo and Freight Agents. BLS lists 50,300 jobs, compared with 2,570 for Cargo and Freight Agents. Its location quotient is 1.16.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $79,370 per year in Kentucky, or $33,140 above Cargo and Freight Agents. BLS lists 52,100 jobs, compared with 2,570 for Cargo and Freight Agents. Its location quotient is 1.16.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a median of $72,490 per year in Kentucky, or $26,260 above Cargo and Freight Agents. BLS lists 13,820 jobs, compared with 2,570 for Cargo and Freight Agents. Its location quotient is 1.6.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Kentucky
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Kentucky role table, at 2.64. Cargo and Freight Agents has 2.04. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Cargo and Freight Agents with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 2.64 in Kentucky, a gap of 0.60 from Cargo and Freight Agents. BLS lists 21,750 jobs and a median of $23,500 per year, or $22,730 below Cargo and Freight Agents.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 2.62 in Kentucky, a gap of 0.58 from Cargo and Freight Agents. BLS lists 47,320 jobs and a median of $47,950 per year, or $1,720 above Cargo and Freight Agents.
3. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has a location quotient of 2.14 in Kentucky, a gap of 0.10 from Cargo and Freight Agents. BLS lists 26,430 jobs and a median of $38,750 per year, or $7,480 below Cargo and Freight Agents.
Price-level view
What $46,230 may mean after the Kentucky price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Kentucky is 90.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.8% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $46,230 Cargo and Freight Agents median by 90.2 divided by 100. The result is $51,276 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 64.3. Goods are 96.0. Utilities are 75.3. Other services are 97.3. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Cargo and Freight Agents row is 7%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.6%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 2,570 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $50,870 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cargo and Freight Agents. It uses a Kentucky place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $46,230 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
What the Cargo and Freight Agents row for Kentucky does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 2,570 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.04 is not a growth score. Rank 45 of 51 is not a place score. The 90.2 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-5011 in BLS area 21. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
BLS published an employment estimate of 2,570 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
