Wyoming metro-by-metro prices
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cheyenne, WY | $34,800 – $108,500 | $71,700 | −1% |
Weather windows across Wyoming
Season matters for inground pool. For each Wyoming metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for pouring concrete.
Cheyenne has 4 comfortable months (June through September), with about 15 inches of precipitation a year.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.

Wyoming labor market for inground pool
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 4 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 1.00 for Wyoming.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 40% of the weighting: a median of $22.13 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.51 and $24.00 an hour. About 3,350 work in the state. That is 119.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073, weighted 30%) the local median is $30.27 an hour, which is 5% above the national $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $26.14 and $40.84 an hour. BLS counts 3,800 of them working in the state, 135.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Brickmasons and blockmasons (47-2021), 20% of the weighting: a median of $28.87 an hour, 3% below the US median of $29.87. The middle half of them earn between $27.12 and $35.00 an hour. About 230 work in the state. That is 8.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 10%) the local median is $30.01 an hour, which is in line with the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $23.25 and $35.00 an hour. BLS counts 1,140 of them working in the state, 40.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for construction laborers ($24.00 an hour) would add about $1,300 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($18.51) would take off about $2,450. 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.
