What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $99,700, ranking 31 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Within Wyoming this is well-paid work. Of 433 occupations with published figures in the state, this job ranks 50 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $99,700 you keep $78,969, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $86,924 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $117,580, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming occupies the middle band for general and operations managers: a median of $99,700, ranking 31 of 51. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Ranked against every occupation Wyoming publishes a median for, general and operations managers sits 50 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.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for general and operations managers on $99,700 is $78,969. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $86,924 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 $117,580 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $99,700 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $50,740 and the ninetieth is $214,810 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $78,969 take-home in Wyoming comes from $99,700. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 50 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $86,924 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 50.
- The Wyoming median of $99,700 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $50,740 to $214,810. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $78,969, from $99,700, assumes a single Wyoming filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 50 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 31 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $86,924, worked from $99,700, 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 50 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 $117,580, 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 $50,740 at the bottom tenth to $214,810 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Wyoming is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $86,924 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $78,969 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 $117,580. 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 ($50,740) and the ninetieth ($214,810) 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 $86,924 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 $78,969 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.
