What should you know about metros in Wyoming?

Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025. Area: Wyoming. Official area tables. Released 2026-05-15. LQ is employment concentration, not a wage index.

Reading this wage estimate

What does this data mean for your opening?

In Wyoming, the Plant Manager is compared against the Industrial Production Managers occupation (SOC 11-3051). Manufacturing Headhunters observes that in a state with unique industrial concentrations like mining and energy, the broad SOC classification for plant leadership acts as a foundational guide for salary assessment. For manufacturing occupations in Wyoming, releases are separate survey estimates.

They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause. These figures suggest a stable leadership market, albeit one that is highly dependent on regional energy sector performance.

The employment count for these roles is small, which reinforces the need to use data with precision. Manufacturing Headhunters notes that in regions with low location quotients, such as Casper’s 0.91, the wage data reflects a specific set of operations rather than the diversity seen in larger manufacturing hubs. Managers should be aware that the reported medians for plant-level leadership in Wyoming are closely linked to the complexity of the operation. Compensation must be modeled based on the actual responsibilities, rather than strictly relying on the broader occupation benchmark for every hiring scenario.

National median figures for context: Manufacturing Engineering Manager (SOC 11-9041) has a national median of $171,270, while Wyoming registers $163,560. The Plant Manager/Industrial Production Manager (SOC 11-3051) national median is $126,060, compared to $151,490 in Wyoming. The CEO/President (SOC 11-1011) national median is $213,990, while Wyoming shows $147,940. The Production Technician (SOC 51-9199) reports a national median of $40,110, compared to $37,500 in Wyoming. Sanitation Technicians (SOC 37-2011) show a national median of $36,840, while Wyoming reports $36,050. For manufacturing occupations in Wyoming, percentiles describe the wage distribution of the mapped occupation. They do not assign pay to plant size, seniority, credentials or job complexity. Assess duties and candidate requirements separately; these rows do not measure a premium for them.

How should I interpret the negative median change in Casper?

A negative change suggests a shift in the local mix of roles or economic conditions impacting the reported wages. It does not necessarily mean pay cuts for current staff.

Is the broad SOC for Industrial Production Managers adequate for Wyoming?

While it captures most plant management, Wyoming’s specific energy and production market may demand more specialized knowledge not fully reflected in the broader occupation description.

Does the small employment count impact the reliability of the data?

Yes, smaller sample sizes in the BLS survey can lead to higher variance. You should treat the median as a general indicator and verify with internal market intelligence.
