Methodology
An occupation is included only when the Wyoming OEWS median is at most 0.97 times the U.S. median for the same occupation. The 5 lowest comparisons are shown. States with fewer than 5 such occupations are omitted, rather than filled with occupations at or above the U.S. median. OEWS May 2025. Sorted by the lowest comparison, Wyoming is 23 of 31. A row links to the Wyoming metro page with the highest public market difficulty score for that occupation when one is published, and otherwise to the occupation page on the hiring grid. An unpublished percentile or employment count is shown as unpublished rather than replaced with a zero. The wages are annual OEWS figures. They are not job listings and they are not an employer's current offer. Read the comparison beside the dollar figures: a high state wage can still sit under the national median for that occupation, and a lower state wage can still sit above it. Rounded figures in the prose: $82,040 is stated as about $82.0K. $97,870 is stated as about $97.9K. a comparison of 0.84 is stated as 16 percent. $85,130 is stated as about $85.1K. $98,100 is stated as about $98.1K. a comparison of 0.87 is stated as 13 percent.
