Library Assistants, Clerical pay in District of Columbia and Wyoming
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Library Assistants, Clerical is $59,390 per year in District of Columbia. It is $38,040 per year in Wyoming. District of Columbia is 56.1% above Wyoming on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 43-4121 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 100 wage and salary jobs in District of Columbia and Not published 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.
