What this pays, and what it is worth
- This is a good state for the work. Wyoming pays this job a middle wage of $52,420, ranking 12 of 49 states and sitting about 14.78% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 251 among 433 occupations Wyoming publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $52,420 you keep $44,299 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $48,762 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $53,680, since top earners drag the number up.
- Wyoming's median for office and administrative support workers, all other is $52,420, about 14.78% above the national figure and 12 of 49 states reporting. Whether that premium reaches the worker depends on the two adjustments below, which is the part a wage table cannot tell you.
- Position 251 of 433 in Wyoming places office and administrative support workers, all other in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $44,299 after the full tax stack, from $52,420. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $48,762 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $53,680 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $52,420. The published range is $31,150 up to $71,280, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $44,299 take-home in Wyoming comes from $52,420. 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 251 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $48,762, the adjusted value of that $52,420 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 251 of 433 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for office and administrative support workers, all other in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $31,150 to $71,280. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $44,299, from $52,420, 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 251 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 12 of 49 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $48,762 — the adjusted value of that $52,420 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 251 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $31,150 at the bottom tenth to $71,280 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $48,762.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $44,299 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.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($31,150) and the ninetieth ($71,280) 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 $48,762 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 $44,299 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.
