What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Wyoming pays this job around $78,250 at the midpoint, 31 of 51 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Within Wyoming this is well-paid work. Of 433 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 105 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $78,250 you keep $63,879 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $70,314 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $86,670, since top earners drag the number up.
- For first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers the Wyoming median is $78,250, ranking 31 of 51 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- Ranked against every occupation Wyoming publishes a median for, first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers sits 105 of 433 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $63,879 after the full tax stack, from $78,250. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $70,314 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $86,670 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $78,250. The published range is $57,000 up to $127,170, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $63,879, from $78,250, 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 105 of 433 occupations here.
- Two cautions on $70,314, the adjusted value of that $78,250 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Wyoming. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 105 of 433 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $57,000 to $127,170. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $63,879 from $78,250. 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 105 of 433 locally.
- This $70,314 adjusted figure, worked from $78,250, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 105 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 105 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 $86,670, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $57,000 and the top tenth $127,170 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $70,314.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $63,879 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
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 $86,670. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($57,000) and the ninetieth ($127,170) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
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 $70,314 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 $63,879 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.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
