Logisticians |
|
![](../../images/spacer_5x1.gif) |
Logisticians analyze and coordinate an organization's supply chain—the system that moves a product from supplier to consumer. They manage the entire life cycle of a product, which includes how a product is acquired, distributed, allocated, and delivered.
Logisticians work in nearly every industry. The job can be stressful because logistical work is fast-paced. Most logisticians work full time during regular business hours.
A bachelor's degree is typically required for most positions, although an associate's degree may be sufficient for some logistician jobs.
The median annual wage for logisticians was $74,260 in May 2015.
Employment of logisticians is projected to grow 2 percent from 2014 to 2024, slower than the average for all occupations. Employment growth will be driven by the need for logistics in the transportation of goods in a global economy. Growth will be moderated, however, because this occupation is concentrated in government and manufacturing, both of which are projected to decline.
Explore resources for employment and wages by state and area for logisticians.
Compare the job duties, education, job growth, and pay of logisticians with similar occupations.
