- Receptionists and information clerks occupies position 376 of 433 in Wyoming's occupational wage distribution, in the bottom quartile. National ranking and local ranking answer different questions and frequently disagree; this is the one a resident experiences.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of receptionists and information clerks in Wyoming earn under $37,480 and half over. The published range runs $28,580 at the tenth percentile to $49,570 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- That $32,295 take-home in Wyoming comes from $37,480. 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 376 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $35,549, the adjusted value of that $37,480 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 376 of 433 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for receptionists and information clerks in Wyoming, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $28,580 to $49,570; 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 $32,295, from $37,480, 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 376 of 433 locally, and the state ranks 23 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $35,549 — the adjusted value of that $37,480 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 376 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
The range here is narrow. From $28,580 at the bottom tenth to $49,570 at the top, pay for this work clusters rather than spreads.
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 $35,549 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $32,295 survives, because Wyoming levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($28,580 to $49,570) 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 $35,549 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 $32,295 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.
