Questions, answered
Couriers and Messengers pay in Massachusetts: common questions
What is the median wage for Couriers and Messengers in Massachusetts?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $42,380 per year for Couriers and Messengers in Massachusetts. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Couriers and Messengers pay higher in Massachusetts than nationally?
Massachusetts's published median was 8.1% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.

What the Couriers and Messengers median says in Massachusetts
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Couriers and Messengers median in Massachusetts at $42,380 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 43-5021 and BLS area 25.
BLS lists 1,560 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 $44,040 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Massachusetts's Couriers and Messengers median is 8.1% above the U.S. Couriers and Messengers median of $39,200 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 43-5021 and area 25. SOC 43-5021 names Couriers and Messengers. Area 25 names Massachusetts. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 43-5021/25 row reports 1,560 wage and salary jobs, 0.43 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.97 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 43-5021/25, the annual median is $42,380 per year, while the matching mean is $44,040 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 25 facts behind this Couriers and Messengers page
Area 25 reports 3,637,650 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $85,610. Its annual median is $63,590. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 43-5021 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Massachusetts runs from $36,330 at the 10th percentile to $163,010 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $44,730. The median is $63,590. The 75th percentile is $102,580. This is a place check, not a pay range for Couriers and Messengers.
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 25. They do not show related skills or a path into Couriers and Messengers.
1. Area 25, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 117,940 jobs, $40,910 annual median, 32.42 jobs per 1,000, and 1.17 location quotient.
2. Area 25, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 95,880 jobs, $127,220 annual median, 26.36 jobs per 1,000, and 1.17 location quotient.
3. Area 25, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 88,200 jobs, $104,550 annual median, 24.25 jobs per 1,000, and 1.12 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Massachusetts wage ladder for Couriers and Messengers
The 10th percentile is $35,560 per year. The 25th percentile is $38,540 per year. The median is $42,380 per year. The 75th percentile is $47,520 per year. The 90th percentile is $56,510 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 $38,540 per year to $47,520 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $20,950. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Massachusetts has a annual median of $42,380 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $39,200 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Massachusetts. Massachusetts is 8.1% above 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.
Where Massachusetts sits for Couriers and Messengers
Massachusetts ranks 10 of 54 among states and territories with a published annual median for Couriers and Messengers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 10 of 54 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.
7. California has a Couriers and Messengers median of $44,970 per year, 7,240 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.9.
8. Minnesota has a Couriers and Messengers median of $44,860 per year, 440 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.34.
9. Utah has a Couriers and Messengers median of $42,840 per year, 850 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.11.
11. Alaska has a Couriers and Messengers median of $41,720 per year, 160 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.1.
Pay leaders
Where Couriers and Messengers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 43-5021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Nevada has the highest published median in this set, at $46,520 per year. Massachusetts sits at $42,380 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Couriers and Messengers 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. Nevada has a Couriers and Messengers median of $46,520 per year, or $4,140 above Massachusetts. BLS lists 530 jobs there, compared with 1,560 in Massachusetts. The location quotient is 0.77.
2. Washington has a Couriers and Messengers median of $46,500 per year, or $4,120 above Massachusetts. BLS lists 1,190 jobs there, compared with 1,560 in Massachusetts. The location quotient is 0.76.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Couriers and Messengers jobs
New York has the largest published state job estimate for Couriers and Messengers in this same-source set, at 7,320 jobs. Massachusetts has 1,560. 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. New York has 7,320 estimated Couriers and Messengers jobs, a gap of 5,760 jobs from Massachusetts. Its median is $38,740 per year, or $3,640 below Massachusetts. Its location quotient is 1.71.
2. California has 7,240 estimated Couriers and Messengers jobs, a gap of 5,680 jobs from Massachusetts. Its median is $44,970 per year, or $2,590 above Massachusetts. Its location quotient is 0.9.
Local-share leaders
Where Couriers and Messengers takes the largest share of local jobs
Puerto Rico has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 7.01. Massachusetts has 0.97. 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 Couriers and Messengers 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. Puerto Rico has a location quotient of 7.01, a gap of 6.04 from Massachusetts. BLS lists 2,910 Couriers and Messengers jobs and a median of $23,160 per year, or $19,220 below Massachusetts.
2. Guam (territory) has a location quotient of 3.12, a gap of 2.15 from Massachusetts. BLS lists 90 Couriers and Messengers jobs and a median of $26,400 per year, or $15,980 below Massachusetts.
3. Virgin Islands (territory) has a location quotient of 2.36, a gap of 1.39 from Massachusetts. BLS lists 30 Couriers and Messengers jobs and a median of $21,840 per year, or $20,540 below Massachusetts.
Job scale and share
How common Couriers and Messengers is in Massachusetts
BLS lists 1,560 Couriers and Messengers jobs in Massachusetts. It also lists 0.43 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 0.97. A value of 1 means Couriers and Messengers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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.
Couriers and Messengers beside other roles in Massachusetts
The all-occupations median in Massachusetts is $63,590 per year. The Couriers and Messengers median is $42,380 per year. Couriers and Messengers is 33.4% 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 Massachusetts. 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 Couriers and Messengers. 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. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a Massachusetts median of $40,910 per year. BLS lists 117,940 jobs and a location quotient of 1.17.
2. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, SOC 53-7062, has a Massachusetts median of $44,920 per year. BLS lists 34,700 jobs and a location quotient of 0.5.
3. Teaching Assistants, Except Postsecondary, SOC 25-9045, has a Massachusetts median of $39,380 per year. BLS lists 39,210 jobs and a location quotient of 1.18.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Massachusetts
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Massachusetts table, at 117,940 jobs. Couriers and Messengers has 1,560 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 3,637,650. 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 Couriers and Messengers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 117,940 jobs in Massachusetts, a gap of 116,380 from Couriers and Messengers. Its median is $40,910 per year, or $1,470 below Couriers and Messengers. Its location quotient is 1.17.
2. General and Operations Managers has 95,880 jobs in Massachusetts, a gap of 94,320 from Couriers and Messengers. Its median is $127,220 per year, or $84,840 above Couriers and Messengers. Its location quotient is 1.17.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Massachusetts
Computer and Information Systems Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Massachusetts role table, at $214,960 per year. Couriers and Messengers has $42,380 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $63,590 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. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a median of $214,960 per year in Massachusetts, or $172,580 above Couriers and Messengers. BLS lists 24,910 jobs, compared with 1,560 for Couriers and Messengers. Its location quotient is 1.59.
2. Financial Managers has a median of $206,760 per year in Massachusetts, or $164,380 above Couriers and Messengers. BLS lists 26,150 jobs, compared with 1,560 for Couriers and Messengers. Its location quotient is 1.33.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Massachusetts
Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists has the highest location quotient in the bounded Massachusetts role table, at 1.89. Couriers and Messengers has 0.97. 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 Couriers and Messengers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists has a location quotient of 1.89 in Massachusetts, a gap of 0.92 from Couriers and Messengers. BLS lists 39,710 jobs and a median of $101,810 per year, or $59,430 above Couriers and Messengers.
2. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a location quotient of 1.59 in Massachusetts, a gap of 0.62 from Couriers and Messengers. BLS lists 24,910 jobs and a median of $214,960 per year, or $172,580 above Couriers and Messengers.
Price-level view
What $42,380 may mean after the Massachusetts price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Massachusetts is 105.8. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.8% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $42,380 Couriers and Messengers median by 105.8 divided by 100. The result is $40,073 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 128.1. Goods are 98.8. Utilities are 152.1. Other services are 102.9. 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 Couriers and Messengers row is 18.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.7%. 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 1,560 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $44,040 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 Couriers and Messengers. It uses a Massachusetts 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $42,380 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 Couriers and Messengers row for Massachusetts 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 1,560 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.97 is not a growth score. Rank 10 of 54 is not a place score. The 105.8 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 43-5021 in BLS area 25. 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 1,560 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.
