According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, newspaper delivery drivers (classified as "delivery drivers, light or heavy truck, driver/sales workers") earned a median hourly wage of $15.31 in May 2020. This means that half of all newspaper delivery drivers earned more than this amount, and half earned less. The lowest 10% of earners made less than $9.69 per hour, and the highest 10% earned more than $24.04 per hour.
Newspaper delivery drivers typically receive an hourly wage, but some may also receive commissions or bonuses for meeting certain sales goals. They may also receive overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours per week.
The amount that a newspaper delivery person makes depends on a number of factors, including their experience, the number of hours they work, the company they work for, and the location where they work.
