Wages behind the Wyoming number
Wyoming's labor line is priced from 2 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 0.99 times the national level.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 90% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for Wyoming, so we used the national median: $26.77 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.73 and $33.76 an hour.
Carpenters (47-2031), 10% of the weighting: a median of $27.33 an hour, 6% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.44 and $29.79 an hour. About 2,260 work in the state. That is 80.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for tile and stone setters ($33.76 an hour) would add about $90 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($21.73) would take off about $65. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 280,740 jobs across Wyoming (May 2025), which is 0.2% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tile and stone setters (47-2044) | 90% | $21.73 | $26.77 | $33.76 | $26.77 | 1.00 | US |
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 10% | $23.44 | $27.33 | $29.79 | $29.12 | 0.94 | state |
| Blended | 100% | 0.99 | |||||
Which Wyoming city is cheapest for kitchen backsplash?
Wyoming has one metro in our dataset, Cheyenne, so the statewide and metro figures are close. The state figure uses BLS statewide wages, which include rural areas. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.
| Metro | Range (30 sq ft) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheyenne, WY | $290 – $1,450 | $870 | level |
