What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for producers and directors is on the low side in Wyoming. The middle earner gets $60,420. That is 37 of 50 states, and about 33.13% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 433 occupations Wyoming reports figures for, this is number 205.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $60,420 you keep $50,727 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $55,838 at national prices. Here the average runs under the middle, at $60,010.
- For producers and directors, Wyoming sits in the lower band at $60,420, ranking 37 of 50 and trailing the national median by about 33.13%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- In Wyoming's occupational distribution, producers and directors sits at 205 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.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $50,727 after the full tax stack, from $60,420. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $55,838 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $60,010 sits under the median, so the lower tail is the longer one.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $60,420. The published range is $36,850 up to $85,090, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $50,727, worked from $60,420. 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 205 of 433.
- Two cautions on $55,838, the adjusted value of that $60,420 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Wyoming. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 205 of 433 locally.
- Reported values are medians; for producers and directors in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $36,850 to $85,090. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Wyoming take-home of $50,727, on $60,420 for work ranking 205 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 205 of 433 in the state.
- This $55,838 adjusted figure, worked from $60,420, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 205 of 433 in the state. The occupation ranks 205 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
The label is broader than the work. From $36,850 at the bottom tenth to $85,090 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
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 $55,838 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $50,727 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
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 50 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 ($36,850) and the ninetieth ($85,090) 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 $55,838 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 $50,727 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.
