BLS metro-level wage data places Cargo and Freight Agents pay in Waterbury-Shelton, CT at a median of N/A per year, drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Approximately 30 cargo and freight agentss are employed across the Waterbury-Shelton MSA in SOC 43-5011.

Full percentile-band wage data is not published for this occupation-metro combination, typically because BLS suppresses detailed breakdowns when the metro employment count is small enough to risk identifying individual employers.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Waterbury-Shelton, CT covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide CT data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
