What these figures cover

No veterinary-specific federal wage series exists for this role. These figures are for SOC 43-4171, Receptionists and Information Clerks, across ALL industries — hotels, law firms, medical offices and every other employer, not only veterinary practices. They are not veterinary-clinic wages. For context, the BLS national veterinary-services industry cut (NAICS 541940) counts 55,330 of the 910,180 people in this occupation nationally, at a national median of $37,910; BLS publishes no state figure for that industry cut.

How to read these figures

These figures are U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates for the whole occupation across every employer in the state, from the May 2025 Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics release. They are not listings on this site and not a quote for any particular job. A percentile is a position in the state's wage distribution, not a pay step or an experience level, so check current postings and ask each employer how its pay is structured.

Wyoming vs. the national figures

The Wyoming median is below the national median by 1%. Among the 51 jurisdictions (states plus DC) where BLS publishes a Receptionists and Information Clerks (SOC 43-4171) median for May 2025, it ranks 23rd, and 48th by estimated employment.

Below the national figures at every percentile, never far

Every published Wyoming percentile sits at or below its national counterpart, and none is far from it — the deepest shortfall anywhere in the row is 3%.

The two lowest percentiles sit closest: the 10th, $28,580, is 1% below the national $28,760, and the 25th, $33,860, is level with the national $33,960.

The median, $37,480, is 1% under the national $38,010.

The gap is widest in the upper middle: the 75th percentile, $43,680, is $1,450, or 3%, below the national $45,130 — the largest shortfall in the row, in dollars or in percentage terms — before narrowing to 1% at the 90th, $49,570 against $49,950.

Someone benchmarking an offer for this all-industry occupation should hold it against the Wyoming percentile nearest the offer rather than the national figures alone.

A tighter middle band under an almost national-width span

Half of the Wyoming workers counted earned between $33,860 and $43,680, a band $9,820 wide against a national band of $11,170.

The full 10th-to-90th span is nearly identical to the national one, $20,990 against $21,190, because two movements offset.

The two middle quarters of the Wyoming distribution are each tighter than their national counterparts — $3,620 from the 25th percentile to the median against $4,050 nationally, and $6,200 from the median to the 75th against $7,120 — while the top quarter runs wider, $5,890 against $4,820.

The bottom quarter is essentially unchanged, $5,280 against $5,200.

The median sits $3,620 above the 25th percentile and $6,200 below the 75th — the same lower-half placement the national band shows.

OEWS does not publish causes, and this row counts every industry, so the shape cannot be read as anything about veterinary employers.

Holding an hourly front-desk posting against these figures

The Wyoming hourly median is $18.02, against $18.27 nationally — $0.25 less, the same 1% gap as 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.

A small workforce, counted across every industry

BLS estimates 1,540 receptionists and information clerks were employed in Wyoming, 48th among the 51 jurisdictions.

That is a count across every industry — hotels, offices, clinics and every other employer — so it says nothing about how many work in veterinary settings, and it is a headcount of people in jobs, not a count of openings.

The two ranks pull apart here: a median-wage rank of 23rd against an employment rank of 48th means the typical wage sits mid-table even though the counted workforce is small.

Against the Wyoming vet tech median

In the same release, veterinary technologists and technicians in Wyoming have a median of $38,650 — $1,170, or 3%, more than the all-industry receptionist median on this page.

The technician median is 1.0 times the receptionist figure, so the two occupations' medians are nearly identical in this state.

That comparison sets a veterinary occupation against an all-industry one, so it is context for someone weighing a move into technician work, not a measure of what a veterinary front desk pays, and the two rows count different workers.

Same release, same state: veterinary technologists and technicians (SOC 29-2056) in Wyoming have a median of $38,650 ($18.58/hr) $1,170 above the receptionists and information clerks median shown on this page. Vet tech salary in Wyoming

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the median receptionist salary in Wyoming?

For receptionists and information clerks across all industries in Wyoming, the May 2025 BLS median annual wage is $37,480, or $18.02 an hour.

No federal wage series isolates veterinary receptionists, so this figure is not veterinary-specific.

The national median for the same occupation is $38,010, which puts Wyoming 1% below it.

What do the top-paid receptionists in Wyoming earn?

The Wyoming 90th percentile is $49,570: one in ten receptionists and information clerks counted across all industries earned more.

Nationally the 90th percentile is $49,950, so Wyoming is 1% lower — a smaller gap than the 3% shortfall at the 75th percentile, $43,680 against the national $45,130.

What does the low end of the Wyoming distribution look like?

The Wyoming 10th percentile is $28,580, 1% below the national $28,760, and the 25th percentile is $33,860 — level with the national $33,960, a 0% gap on the page's whole-percent rounding.

These are positions in the all-industry distribution, not career stages — the data set does not break wages out by experience.

How does this all-industry figure compare with vet tech pay in Wyoming?

In the same BLS release, veterinary technologists and technicians in Wyoming have a median of $38,650, which is $1,170 above the $37,480 median for receptionists and information clerks across all industries.

The technician median is 1.0 times the receptionist figure.

The two rows describe different occupations, and only one of them is veterinary-specific, so treat the gap as context for a career decision rather than a promised raise.

How many receptionists work in Wyoming?

BLS estimates 1,540 receptionists and information clerks were employed in Wyoming across all industries, 48th among the 51 jurisdictions that publish a median.

The estimate does not say how many of them work in veterinary settings — BLS publishes no state figure for that.

It is a headcount of people in jobs during the survey period, not a count of vacancies.
