What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming is among the lower-paying states for aircraft service attendants. The middle earner takes $36,360, ranking 43 of 46 states — about 10.11% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Measured against other jobs in Wyoming, this one sits low: 390 of 433 occupations with published pay, in the bottom quarter.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $36,360 you keep $31,395 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $34,558 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $41,600, since top earners drag the number up.
- Wyoming ranks 43 of 46 for aircraft service attendants, with a median of $36,360 — about 10.11% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Aircraft service attendants occupies position 390 of 433 in Wyoming's occupational wage distribution, in the bottom quartile. National ranking and local ranking answer different questions and frequently disagree; this is the one a resident experiences.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $31,395 after the full tax stack, from $36,360. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $34,558 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $41,600 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $36,360 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $35,360 and the ninetieth is $49,920 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $31,395, from $36,360, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 390 of 433 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $34,558, the adjusted value of that $36,360 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 390 of 433 in the state.
- The Wyoming median of $36,360 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $35,360 to $49,920. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $31,395 from $36,360. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 390 of 433 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $34,558 — the adjusted value of that $36,360 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 390 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $41,600, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $35,360 at the bottom tenth to $49,920 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $34,558.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $31,395 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 46 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in Wyoming is $41,600. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($35,360 to $49,920) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Wyoming rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Wyoming's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $34,558 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Wyoming levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $31,395 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 46 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
