What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Wyoming pays this job a middle wage of $60,410, 37 of 49 states and about 8.18% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 206.
- Wyoming is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $60,410 the take-home is $50,719; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $55,829 would nationally. The average comes to $63,180, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Wyoming's $60,410 median for healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other places it 37 of 49 states, about 8.18% 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.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other sits at 206 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.
- Post-tax income for healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other in Wyoming, on $60,410, is $50,719 — equivalent to $55,829 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 $63,180 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $60,410. The published range is $26,910 up to $103,570, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $50,719, from $60,410, 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 206 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 $55,829 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 206.
- Reported values are medians; for healthcare practitioners and technical workers, all other in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $26,910 to $103,570. 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 $50,719 from $60,410. 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 206 of 433 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $55,829, worked from $60,410, 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 206 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 $63,180, 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 $26,910, the highest tenth $103,570, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $55,829 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $50,719 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Why is this job missing from some states?
Because the survey suppresses a figure when too few employers report it. This occupation has published pay in 49 states — the rest are withheld to protect confidentiality, which is not the same as nobody doing the work there.
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 $63,180. 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 ($26,910) and the ninetieth ($103,570) 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 $55,829 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 $50,719 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.
