What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Minnesota pays this job a middle wage of $131,680, ranking 12 of 48 states and sitting about 0.99% above the national middle.
- Within Minnesota this is well-paid work. Of 490 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 27 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- No great distortion either way. Minnesota costs about what the country costs, so from $131,680, take-home of $93,765 is worth roughly $95,274 in national money. The average comes to $140,120, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Minnesota's median for training and development managers is $131,680, about 0.99% above the national figure and 12 of 48 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Ranked against every occupation Minnesota publishes a median for, training and development managers sits 27 of 490 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Price parity in Minnesota is near the national base, so for training and development managers, whose median is $131,680, the adjusted figure of $95,274 differs little from $93,765 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $140,120 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Minnesota earn less than $131,680. The published range is $79,750 up to $214,030, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Minnesota's $93,765, worked from $131,680. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 27 of 490.
- One number stands for prices across all of Minnesota, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $95,274, the adjusted value of that $131,680 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 27 of 490 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for training and development managers in Minnesota the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $79,750 to $214,030. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Minnesota take-home of $93,765, on $131,680 for work ranking 27 of 490 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 27 of 490 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Minnesota, so $95,274 — the adjusted value of that $131,680 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 27 of 490 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $140,120, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $79,750 and the top tenth $214,030 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Minnesota is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $95,274 in national terms.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Minnesota adds its own income tax on top — which is why $93,765 of this wage survives to your account.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 48 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Minnesota is $140,120. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($79,750) and the ninetieth ($214,030) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Minnesota's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $95,274 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $93,765 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Minnesota income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 48 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
