What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Wyoming pays this job around $69,380 at the midpoint, 21 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 138.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $69,380 you keep $57,639, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $63,445 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $76,640, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For training and development specialists the Wyoming median is $69,380, ranking 21 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, training and development specialists sits at 138 of 433 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for training and development specialists on $69,380 is $57,639. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $63,445 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $76,640 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of training and development specialists in Wyoming earn under $69,380 and half over. The published range runs $41,210 at the tenth percentile to $128,300 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $57,639, from $69,380, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 138 of 433 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $63,445, the adjusted value of that $69,380 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 138 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for training and development specialists in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $41,210 to $128,300; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $57,639 from $69,380. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 138 of 433 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $63,445 — the adjusted value of that $69,380 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 138 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $76,640, 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 $41,210 at the bottom tenth to $128,300 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $63,445.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $57,639 of this wage reaches your account, because Wyoming takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 Wyoming is $76,640. 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 ($41,210) and the ninetieth ($128,300) 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?
Wyoming'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 $63,445 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?
Wyoming levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $57,639 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
