Kennel Attendant Salary in Wyoming

Wyoming trails the national figures across the lower and middle of the distribution.

The 10th percentile, $21,330, is 22% below the national $27,250 — the widest relative gap on the page.

The 25th percentile, $25,480, is 15% below the national $29,820, and the median is 18% below.

The 75th percentile, $36,570, is 9% below the national $40,050.

Then the distribution catches up: the Wyoming 90th percentile, $50,290, is essentially level with the national $50,060.

Benchmarking an offer against the national median alone would miss how far behind the lower half sits — pay at the very top of the state distribution reaches the national level.

Half of the Wyoming workers counted earned between $25,480 and $36,570 — a band $11,090 wide, against $10,230 nationally.

The full span from the 10th to the 90th percentile is $28,960, well above the national $22,810, because the Wyoming floor reaches so much lower while the ceiling matches national.

The median sits $3,600 above the 25th percentile and $7,490 below the 75th, so the upper half of the band is wider than the lower half.

OEWS does not publish why a distribution has this shape, and this row spans every industry, so this page does not assign it a cause.

The Wyoming hourly median is $13.98, against $17.00 nationally — an 18% gap, matching the annual median.

The data set carries hourly pay at the median only, so it is the figure to hold an hourly posting against.

Before comparing a posted rate with the annual percentiles, ask how many hours a week the role is scheduled.

BLS estimates 460 animal caretakers were employed in Wyoming across all industries.

The estimate is a headcount of people in jobs during the survey period, not a count of openings.

BLS publishes no state count of how many of them work in veterinary settings — the occupation is counted the same way at every employer.

In the same release, veterinary technologists and technicians in Wyoming have a median of $38,650 — $9,570, or 33%, more than the all-industry animal caretaker median on this page, 1.3 times as much.

The comparison sets a veterinary occupation against one that spans all industries, so it is context for someone weighing a move into technician work, not a measure of what veterinary kennel work pays, and the gap is not a raise anyone should expect.
