What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Wyoming is 28 of 49 states for this job, with a middle wage of $100,850. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Wyoming. It ranks 42 out of 433 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $100,850 you keep $79,778 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $87,815 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $103,140, since top earners drag the number up.
- Wyoming ranks 28 of 49 for sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific products at $100,850. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Within Wyoming, sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific products ranks 42 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.
- Retained pay in Wyoming is $79,778 after the full tax stack, from $100,850. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $87,815 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $103,140 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $100,850 as a midpoint for Wyoming, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $56,720 and the ninetieth is $174,410 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $79,778, from $100,850, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 42 of 433 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $87,815 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 42.
- The Wyoming median of $100,850 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $56,720 to $174,410. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $79,778 from $100,850. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 42 of 433 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $87,815, worked from $100,850, 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 42 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $56,720 and the top tenth $174,410 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
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 $87,815 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $79,778 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?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 49 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
What drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($56,720) and the ninetieth ($174,410) 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 $87,815 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 $79,778 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.
