What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $55,180, which ranks 1 of 50 states with published figures. That is about 54.74% above the national middle.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 241.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $55,180 the take-home is $46,517; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $51,203 would nationally. The average lands at $51,250, below the middle of the range.
- Wyoming ranks 1 of 50 states publishing a median for farmworkers and laborers, crop, nursery, and greenhouse, at $55,180 — about 54.74% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, farmworkers and laborers, crop, nursery, and greenhouse sits at 241 of 433 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Post-tax income for farmworkers and laborers, crop, nursery, and greenhouse in Wyoming, on $55,180, is $46,517 — equivalent to $51,203 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $51,250 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $55,180. The published range is $43,430 up to $58,570, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $46,517 take-home in Wyoming comes from $55,180. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 241 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $51,203 uses one figure for the whole of Wyoming. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 433 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 241.
- Reported values are medians; for farmworkers and laborers, crop, nursery, and greenhouse in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $43,430 to $58,570. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $46,517, from $55,180, assumes a single Wyoming filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 241 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 1 of 50 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $51,203, worked from $55,180, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Wyoming address, on work sitting at 241 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $51,250 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $43,430 at the tenth percentile, $58,570 at the ninetieth.
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 $51,203.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $46,517 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 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 $51,250. 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 ($43,430 to $58,570) 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 $51,203 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 $46,517 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
