What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming sits in the middle of the pack for labor relations specialists. The median is $87,310, ranking 21 of 51 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Wyoming. It ranks 76 out of 433 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $87,310 you keep $70,253, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $77,330 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $89,090, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming occupies the middle band for labor relations specialists: a median of $87,310, ranking 21 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.
- Within Wyoming, labor relations specialists ranks 76 of 433 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for labor relations specialists on $87,310 is $70,253. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $77,330 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 $89,090 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of labor relations specialists in Wyoming earn under $87,310 and half over. The published range runs $56,810 at the tenth percentile to $126,790 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $70,253 take-home in Wyoming comes from $87,310. 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 76 of 433.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $77,330 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 76.
- Figures are distribution medians for labor relations specialists in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $56,810 to $126,790; 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 $70,253, from $87,310, 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 76 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 21 of 51 for it.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $77,330, worked from $87,310, 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 76 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $56,810, the highest tenth $126,790, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $77,330.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $70,253 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.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($56,810) and the ninetieth ($126,790) 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 $77,330 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 $70,253 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.
