What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Wyoming pays this job a middle wage of $58,970, 39 of 51 states and about 15.75% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Against other work in Wyoming, this sits in the middle: 218 of 433 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $58,970 you keep $49,562 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $54,555 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $71,780, since top earners drag the number up.
- Wyoming's $58,970 median for sales representatives of services, except advertising, insurance, financial services, and travel places it 39 of 51 states, about 15.75% 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.
- Sales representatives of services, except advertising, insurance, financial services, and travel ranks 218 of 433 occupations in Wyoming by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $49,562 after the full tax stack, from $58,970. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $54,555 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $71,780 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $58,970 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $36,070 and the ninetieth is $136,150 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Wyoming's $49,562, worked from $58,970. 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 218 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $54,555, the adjusted value of that $58,970 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 218 of 433 in the state.
- The Wyoming median of $58,970 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $36,070 to $136,150. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Wyoming take-home of $49,562, on $58,970 for work ranking 218 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 218 of 433 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $54,555 — the adjusted value of that $58,970 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 218 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $71,780, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $36,070, the highest tenth $136,150, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $54,555 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $49,562 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 $71,780. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($36,070) and the ninetieth ($136,150) 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 $54,555 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 $49,562 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.
