What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $49,940, ranking 26 of 50 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 267.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $49,940 you keep $42,307, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $46,569 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $51,220, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming occupies the middle band for information and record clerks, all other: a median of $49,940, ranking 26 of 50. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, information and record clerks, all other sits at 267 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 information and record clerks, all other on $49,940 is $42,307. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $46,569 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 $51,220 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of information and record clerks, all other in Wyoming earn under $49,940 and half over. The published range runs $39,430 at the tenth percentile to $65,380 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $42,307, worked from $49,940. 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 267 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $46,569 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 267.
- Figures are distribution medians for information and record clerks, all other in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $39,430 to $65,380; 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.
- The Wyoming take-home of $42,307, on $49,940 for work ranking 267 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 267 of 433 in the state.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $46,569, worked from $49,940, 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 267 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Less than you might expect. The bottom tenth earn $39,430 and the top tenth $65,380, so most people doing this work in Wyoming sit within a fairly tight band.
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 $46,569 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $42,307 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?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($39,430 to $65,380) 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 $46,569 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 $42,307 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 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
