Start with the answer
Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians pay in Virginia and Wyoming
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians is $79,540 per year in Virginia. It is $99,840 per year in Wyoming. Virginia is 20.3% below Wyoming on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 17-3023 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 4,670 wage and salary jobs in Virginia and 200 in Wyoming. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
