Plans whose sponsor entered this principal business activity code on Form 5500.
Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. The business code is chosen by the filer from the list in the Form 5500 instructions.
54 retirement plans in local messengers & local delivery with 100 or more participants filed Form 5500 for plan year 2024 (54 defined contribution, 0 defined benefit). All Form 5500 pension filers in the group reported 25,422 participant records and $498M in net assets.
The median defined contribution plan held $1,934 per participant, well below the national median of $53,031, and its employer put in $504 per active participant (national: $2,174). Among plans reporting Schedule C compensation the median was $45.03 per participant against $123 nationally.
Employers contributed $23.7M and participants $98.7M during the year, and the plans paid out $37.8M in benefits.
In 2009 the same group numbered 16 plans with $46.2M; by 2024 it was 54 plans (up 238%) and $498M (up 976%). From plan year 2023 the 100-participant line counts participants with account balances, which moved many plans to the short form.

54 plans with 100 or more participants filed Form 5500 for plan year 2024, out of 150 pension plans on the full form. Smaller plans file Form 5500-SF and are counted separately where shown.
What is the typical 401(k) balance in local messengers & local delivery?
The median defined contribution plan reported $1,934 in net assets per participant (middle half of plans: $1,158 to $3,038); nationally it was $53,031. This is a plan-level average that includes former employees, not a typical person's balance.
What do employers contribute in local messengers & local delivery?
The median defined contribution plan received $504 in employer contributions per active participant, against $2,174 nationally. Plans with no employer contribution are included at zero.
What are average 401(k) fees in local messengers & local delivery?
Among defined contribution plans that report any Schedule C compensation, the median was $45.03 per participant and 0.46% of net assets (nationally $123 and 0.26%). Schedule C leaves out fund expense ratios and fees the employer pays, so it understates total cost.
