Postsecondary Teachers, All Other pay in Arizona and Delaware
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Postsecondary Teachers, All Other is $76,700 per year in Arizona. It is $101,070 per year in Delaware. Arizona is 24.1% below Delaware on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 25-1199 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 2,000 wage and salary jobs in Arizona and Not published in Delaware. 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.
