What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $70,770. That is 34 of 49 states, and about 9.23% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Against other work in Wyoming, this sits in the middle: 133 of 433 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $70,770 you keep $58,617 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $64,522 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $74,660, since top earners drag the number up.
- For first-line supervisors of correctional officers, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $70,770, ranking 34 of 49 and trailing the national median by about 9.23%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- First-line supervisors of correctional officers ranks 133 of 433 occupations in Wyoming by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $58,617 after the full tax stack, from $70,770. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $64,522 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $74,660 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of first-line supervisors of correctional officers in Wyoming earn under $70,770 and half over. The published range runs $65,210 at the tenth percentile to $95,660 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $58,617, worked from $70,770. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 133 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $64,522, the adjusted value of that $70,770 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 133 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for first-line supervisors of correctional officers in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $65,210 to $95,660; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- The Wyoming take-home of $58,617, on $70,770 for work ranking 133 of 433 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 133 of 433 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $64,522 — the adjusted value of that $70,770 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 133 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 $74,660 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $65,210 at the bottom tenth to $95,660 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Wyoming sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $64,522 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $58,617 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 49 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 $74,660. 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 ($65,210 to $95,660) 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 $64,522 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 $58,617 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 49 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
