What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Wyoming pays this job a middle wage of $66,330, 47 of 51 states and about 17.49% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Against other work in Wyoming, this sits in the middle: 147 of 433 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $66,330 you keep $55,476, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $61,065 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $70,320, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming's $66,330 median for social and community service managers places it 47 of 51 states, about 17.49% 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.
- Social and community service managers ranks 147 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.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for social and community service managers on $66,330 is $55,476. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $61,065 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $70,320 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Wyoming earn less than $66,330. The published range is $37,130 up to $107,020, 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 $55,476, worked from $66,330. 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 147 of 433.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $61,065, the adjusted value of that $66,330 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 147 of 433 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for social and community service managers in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $37,130 to $107,020. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- The Wyoming take-home of $55,476, on $66,330 for work ranking 147 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 147 of 433 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $61,065 — the adjusted value of that $66,330 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 147 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 $70,320, 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 $37,130, the highest tenth $107,020, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
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 $61,065.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $55,476 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 $70,320. 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 ($37,130) and the ninetieth ($107,020) 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 $61,065 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 $55,476 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.
