Stockers and Order Fillers in the Yuba City Metro

BLS metro-level wage data places Stockers and Order Fillers pay in Yuba City, CA at a median of $39,460 per year ($18.97/hr), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared with the national median of $37,330, the metro estimate is +6% above. OEWS reports the difference but does not identify its cause. Approximately 950 stockers and order fillers are employed across the Yuba City MSA in SOC 53-7065.

The Yuba City pay distribution spans from $35,140 at the 10th percentile to $50,210 at the 90th, a 1.4× observed spread. Differences in specialization, employer, sector, location, credentials, schedule, and experience may all contribute, but OEWS does not isolate their effects. The 25th percentile sits at $37,770 and the 75th at $44,850, so half of Yuba City-based stockers and order fillers earn within that middle band.

Metro figures use establishment work location, not worker residence. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Yuba City, CA covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. OEWS includes straight-time pay, tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses. It excludes employer health and retirement benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, signing bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. The same occupation's national profile, statewide CA estimate, and peer-metro rows provide distinct geographic comparisons. A published median is a benchmark, not a prediction or ceiling for one worker.
