Wyoming labor market for hardwood floor
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 2 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.96 for Wyoming.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 70%) the local median is $27.33 an hour, which is 6% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.44 and $29.79 an hour. BLS counts 2,260 of them working in the state, 80.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Floor layers (except carpet, wood and hard tiles) (47-2042) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for Wyoming, so we used the national median: $27.15 an hour against $27.15 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.95 and $35.50 an hour.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($29.79 an hour) would add about $220 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($23.44) would take off about $350. 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.
