How to read this profile
BLS projects U.S. employment for Training and Development Managers to increase by 6.4% between 2024 and 2034, from 50,200 to 53,500 jobs. Its estimate of 4,100 annual openings includes replacement needs, so it does not represent current vacancies, contract postings, or freelance demand. The wage ($133,000), education (Bachelor's degree), and related experience (5 years or more) figures on this profile describe typical U.S. employees. O*NET skills describe the occupation; they do not assess an individual worker's proficiency.
