How much is the salary of a CNA who just finished training in New Jersey?

Makes all kinds of differences if you're talking North or South Jersey. Union or non-union. Shift differential.

Lots of variables so no one answer might work for you.

I think you're missing my point. Minimum wage in NJ is $8.44, but is that what CNAs make in a unionized major hospital in Newark or a small non-union Catholic-run facility in Camden county. Or a private day care center near Trenton?

Staying competitive within a community is critical for many employers, but for some, their benefits package compensate (or NOT) for their offered wages.
