What the Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median says in Wyoming
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median in Wyoming at $119,010 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 17-2151 and BLS area 56.
BLS lists 210 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $126,510 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Wyoming's Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median is 12.0% above the U.S. Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median of $106,220 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 17-2151 and area 56. SOC 17-2151 names Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. Area 56 names Wyoming. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 17-2151/56 row reports 210 wage and salary jobs, 0.74 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 18.81 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 17-2151/56, the annual median is $119,010 per year, while the matching mean is $126,510 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 56 facts behind this Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers page
Area 56 reports 280,740 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $61,560. Its annual median is $50,270. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 17-2151 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Wyoming runs from $28,870 at the 10th percentile to $104,190 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $37,110. The median is $50,270. The 75th percentile is $74,760. This is a place check, not a pay range for Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 56. They do not show related skills or a path into Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers.

Pay range
Read the Wyoming wage ladder for Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers
The 10th percentile is $96,590 per year. The 25th percentile is $112,150 per year. The median is $119,010 per year. The 75th percentile is $156,510 per year. The 90th percentile is $158,000 per year.
A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $112,150 per year to $156,510 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $61,410. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Wyoming has a annual median of $119,010 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $106,220 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Wyoming. Wyoming is 12.0% above the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Where Wyoming sits for Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers
Wyoming ranks 6 of 28 among states and territories with a published annual median for Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 6 of 28 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
3. Utah has a Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median of $125,520 per year, 230 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 3.38.
4. Alaska has a Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median of $124,630 per year, 300 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 23.22.

Pay leaders
Where Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 17-2151, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. California has the highest published median in this set, at $158,130 per year. Wyoming sits at $119,010 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. California has a Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median of $158,130 per year, or $39,120 above Wyoming. BLS lists 520 jobs there, compared with 210 in Wyoming. The location quotient is 0.73.
2. Oklahoma has a Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median of $131,660 per year, or $12,650 above Wyoming. BLS lists 90 jobs there, compared with 210 in Wyoming. The location quotient is 1.31.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers jobs
Arizona has the largest published state job estimate for Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers in this same-source set, at 690 jobs. Wyoming has 210. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. Arizona has 690 estimated Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers jobs, a gap of 480 jobs from Wyoming. Its median is $102,130 per year, or $16,880 below Wyoming. Its location quotient is 5.42.
2. Colorado has 670 estimated Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers jobs, a gap of 460 jobs from Wyoming. Its median is $96,820 per year, or $22,190 below Wyoming. Its location quotient is 5.98.
Local-share leaders
Where Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers takes the largest share of local jobs
Alaska has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 23.22. Wyoming has 18.81. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Alaska has a location quotient of 23.22, a gap of 4.41 from Wyoming. BLS lists 300 Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers jobs and a median of $124,630 per year, or $5,620 above Wyoming.
2. Wyoming has a location quotient of 18.81, a gap of 0.00 from Wyoming. BLS lists 210 Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers jobs and a median of $119,010 per year, or $0 above Wyoming.
Job scale and share
How common Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers is in Wyoming
BLS lists 210 Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers jobs in Wyoming. It also lists 0.74 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 18.81. A value of 1 means Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers beside other roles in Wyoming
The all-occupations median in Wyoming is $50,270 per year. The Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median is $119,010 per year. Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers is 136.7% above the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Wyoming. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Wyoming median of $99,700 per year. BLS lists 7,470 jobs and a location quotient of 1.18.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Wyoming median of $83,760 per year. BLS lists 5,330 jobs and a location quotient of 0.87.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Wyoming
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Wyoming table, at 8,770 jobs. Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers has 210 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 280,740. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 8,770 jobs in Wyoming, a gap of 8,560 from Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. Its median is $34,310 per year, or $84,700 below Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.25.
2. General and Operations Managers has 7,470 jobs in Wyoming, a gap of 7,260 from Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. Its median is $99,700 per year, or $19,310 below Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.18.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Wyoming
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Wyoming role table, at $99,700 per year. Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers has $119,010 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $50,270 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. General and Operations Managers has a median of $99,700 per year in Wyoming, or $19,310 below Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. BLS lists 7,470 jobs, compared with 210 for Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.18.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $83,760 per year in Wyoming, or $35,250 below Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. BLS lists 5,330 jobs, compared with 210 for Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. Its location quotient is 0.87.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Wyoming
Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has the highest location quotient in the bounded Wyoming role table, at 4.4. Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers has 18.81. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 4.4 in Wyoming, a gap of 14.41 from Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. BLS lists 3,800 jobs and a median of $62,960 per year, or $56,050 below Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers.

Price-level view
What $119,010 may mean after the Wyoming price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Wyoming is 92.7. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.3% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $119,010 Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers median by 92.7 divided by 100. The result is $128,394 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 71.1. Goods are 95.4. Utilities are 78.4. Other services are 100.4. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers row is 13.4%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.9%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 210 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $126,510 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers. It uses a Wyoming place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $119,010 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
What the Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers row for Wyoming does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 210 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 18.81 is not a growth score. Rank 6 of 28 is not a place score. The 92.7 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 17-2151 in BLS area 56. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
BLS published an employment estimate of 210 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
