What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $45,610. That is 35 of 51 states, and about 6.13% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 320.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $45,610 you keep $38,828 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $42,739 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $48,000, since top earners drag the number up.
- For first-line supervisors of personal service workers, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $45,610, ranking 35 of 51 and trailing the national median by about 6.13%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, first-line supervisors of personal service workers sits at 320 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.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $38,828 after the full tax stack, from $45,610. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $42,739 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $48,000 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 personal service workers in Wyoming earn under $45,610 and half over. The published range runs $29,420 at the tenth percentile to $71,630 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $38,828, from $45,610, 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 320 of 433 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $42,739, the adjusted value of that $45,610 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 320 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for first-line supervisors of personal service workers in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $29,420 to $71,630; 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.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $38,828 from $45,610. 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 320 of 433 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $42,739 — the adjusted value of that $45,610 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 320 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 $48,000, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $29,420 at the bottom tenth to $71,630 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $42,739.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $38,828 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?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
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 $48,000. 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 ($29,420) and the ninetieth ($71,630) 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 $42,739 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 $38,828 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.
