What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Wyoming pays this job a middle wage of $40,050, 35 of 50 states and about 12.78% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Within Wyoming this is lower-paid work. Of 433 occupations the state publishes figures for, this job ranks 349. That is the bottom quarter locally, whatever the national comparison says.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $40,050 you keep $34,360 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $37,822 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $42,500, since top earners drag the number up.
- Wyoming's $40,050 median for interviewers, except eligibility and loan places it 35 of 50 states, about 12.78% 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.
- Against every occupation Wyoming reports, interviewers, except eligibility and loan ranks 349 of 433, in the lowest quartile of the state's distribution. That position is set by the local labor market and is independent of how the state compares nationally for this work.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $34,360 after the full tax stack, from $40,050. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $37,822 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $42,500 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of interviewers, except eligibility and loan in Wyoming earn under $40,050 and half over. The published range runs $36,340 at the tenth percentile to $52,440 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $34,360 take-home in Wyoming comes from $40,050. 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 349 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $37,822 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 349.
- Figures are distribution medians for interviewers, except eligibility and loan in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $36,340 to $52,440; 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.
- Retained pay of $34,360, from $40,050, 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 349 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 35 of 50 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $37,822, worked from $40,050, 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 349 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $42,500 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $36,340 at the tenth percentile, $52,440 at the ninetieth.
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 $37,822 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $34,360 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?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release 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 $42,500. 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 ($36,340 to $52,440) 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 $37,822 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 $34,360 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.
