High paying office and admin jobs in Delaware

Every office and admin occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Delaware. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single office and admin job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Delaware run 0.2% below the national average (2024), so a Delaware salary is worth about 1.00× its face value in national terms. That scales every wage here by the same factor — it changes what the numbers mean, not their order. To see where a job pays a real premium, use jobs that pay more in Delaware.
