Training and Development Managers pay in Alaska and Delaware
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Training and Development Managers is $105,430 per year in Alaska. It is $172,340 per year in Delaware. Alaska is 38.8% below Delaware on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 11-3131 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 80 wage and salary jobs in Alaska and 70 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.
