What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Wyoming pays this job a middle wage of $56,230, 36 of 51 states and about 3.77% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 234 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $56,230 the take-home is $47,361; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $52,132 would nationally. The average comes to $63,020, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Wyoming's $56,230 median for first-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers places it 36 of 51 states, about 3.77% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- Position 234 of 433 in Wyoming places first-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Post-tax income for first-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers in Wyoming, on $56,230, is $47,361 — equivalent to $52,132 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 $63,020 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $56,230 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $47,810 and the ninetieth is $82,990 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $47,361, worked from $56,230. 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 234 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $52,132, the adjusted value of that $56,230 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 234 of 433 in the state.
- The Wyoming median of $56,230 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $47,810 to $82,990. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Wyoming take-home of $47,361, on $56,230 for work ranking 234 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 234 of 433 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $52,132 — the adjusted value of that $56,230 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 234 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 $63,020, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $47,810 at the tenth percentile, $82,990 at the ninetieth.
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 $52,132 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $47,361 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 $63,020. 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 ($47,810 to $82,990) 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 $52,132 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 $47,361 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.
