What this pays, and what it is worth
- Wyoming is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $27,800, ranking 38 of 50 states — about 15.53% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Measured against other jobs in Wyoming, this one sits low: 427 of 433 occupations with published pay, in the bottom quarter.
- Here is where Wyoming does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $27,800 you keep $24,503, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $26,972 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $28,600, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Wyoming ranks 38 of 50 for ushers, lobby attendants, and ticket takers, with a median of $27,800 — about 15.53% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Ushers, lobby attendants, and ticket takers occupies position 427 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.
- After federal, FICA and Wyoming income tax, retained pay for ushers, lobby attendants, and ticket takers on $27,800 is $24,503. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $26,972 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 $28,600 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 $27,800. The published range is $21,320 up to $36,750, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Wyoming the take-home figure of $24,503, from $27,800, 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 427 of 433 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Wyoming, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $26,972, the adjusted value of that $27,800 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 427 of 433 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for ushers, lobby attendants, and ticket takers in Wyoming the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $21,320 to $36,750. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Wyoming is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $24,503 from $27,800. 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 427 of 433 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Wyoming, so $26,972 — the adjusted value of that $27,800 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 427 of 433 locally.
Questions people ask
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $21,320 at the tenth percentile, $36,750 at the ninetieth.
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 $26,972 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $24,503 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?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release one.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($21,320 to $36,750) 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 $26,972 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 $24,503 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.
