What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Wyoming is 31 of 51 states for this job, with a middle wage of $47,840. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 290.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $47,840 you keep $40,619, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $44,711 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $49,950, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming ranks 31 of 51 for first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers at $47,840. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers sits at 290 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.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers on $47,840 is $40,619. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $44,711 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $49,950 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $47,840. The published range is $31,200 up to $72,900, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $40,619, from $47,840, 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 290 of 433 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $44,711 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 290.
- Reported values are medians; for first-line supervisors of housekeeping and janitorial workers in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $31,200 to $72,900. 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 $40,619 from $47,840. 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 290 of 433 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $44,711, worked from $47,840, 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 290 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
No — it is the middle. Half of these workers earn more and half earn less. The average is $49,950, pulled upward by the top of the range, which is why the middle is the fairer number to plan against.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $31,200, the highest tenth $72,900, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $44,711.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $40,619 of this wage reaches your account, because Wyoming takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
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 $49,950. 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 ($31,200) and the ninetieth ($72,900) 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 $44,711 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 $40,619 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.
