Compensation, Benefits, and Job Analysis Specialists pay in Delaware and Maine
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Compensation, Benefits, and Job Analysis Specialists is $99,560 per year in Delaware. It is $77,400 per year in Maine. Delaware is 28.6% above Maine on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 13-1141 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 290 wage and salary jobs in Delaware and 180 in Maine. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
