What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Nevada. The middle earner gets $99,110. That is 46 of 48 states, and about 25.48% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Locally, this pays well. Among 485 occupations Nevada reports, this job comes in at 72 — comfortably in the upper quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $99,110 you keep $78,554 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $81,000 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $111,430, since top earners drag the number up.
- For training and development managers, Nevada sits in the lower band at $99,110, ranking 46 of 48 and trailing the national median by about 25.48%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Training and development managers ranks 72 of 485 occupations by median in Nevada, in the top quartile. Within-state position is largely independent of national position, so this holds regardless of how the state compares to others for the same work.
- Retained pay in Nevada is $78,554 after the full tax stack, from $99,110. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $81,000 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $111,430 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Nevada earn less than $99,110. The published range is $64,070 up to $167,890, 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 Nevada's $78,554, worked from $99,110. 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 72 of 485.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $81,000 uses one figure for the whole of Nevada. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 485 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 72.
- Reported values are medians; for training and development managers in Nevada the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $64,070 to $167,890. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Nevada take-home of $78,554, on $99,110 for work ranking 72 of 485 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 72 of 485 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $81,000, worked from $99,110, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Nevada address, on work sitting at 72 of 485 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $111,430, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $64,070 at the bottom tenth to $167,890 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $81,000 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $78,554 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 48 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
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 Nevada is $111,430. 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 ($64,070) and the ninetieth ($167,890) 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?
Nevada'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 $81,000 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Nevada levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $78,554 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
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.
