What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for logisticians is strong here. Connecticut's middle earner gets $85,450, putting the state 17 of 51 — about 3.8% ahead of the national figure.
- Against other work in Connecticut, this sits in the middle: 134 of 482 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Costs eat into it here. Of $85,450, tax leaves $64,994 — and because Connecticut is dearer than average, that stretches only as far as $62,682 would nationally. Averages run higher here, $90,980, since top earners drag the number up.
- For logisticians, Connecticut sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $85,450, ranking 17 of 51 and running about 3.8% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Logisticians ranks 134 of 482 occupations in Connecticut by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- After tax, $64,994 remains from the Connecticut median of $85,450 for this occupation. Applying the state's above-average price parity yields $62,682 in national-average terms — the quantity relevant to a relocation decision, and the one absent from essentially every published wage comparison. Mean pay of $90,980 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Connecticut earn less than $85,450. The published range is $61,490 up to $126,880, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Connecticut's $64,994, worked from $85,450. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 134 of 482.
- One number stands for prices across all of Connecticut, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $62,682, the adjusted value of that $85,450 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 134 of 482 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for logisticians in Connecticut the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $61,490 to $126,880. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Connecticut take-home of $64,994, on $85,450 for work ranking 134 of 482 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 134 of 482 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Connecticut, so $62,682 — the adjusted value of that $85,450 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 134 of 482 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $90,980, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $61,490, the highest tenth $126,880, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Connecticut costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $62,682 rather than its face figure.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Connecticut's own levy, $64,994 remains.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Connecticut is $90,980. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($61,490) and the ninetieth ($126,880) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $62,682 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $64,994 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
