High paying science jobs in Wyoming

Every science occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Wyoming. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single science job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Wyoming run 7.3% below the national average (2024), so a Wyoming salary is worth about 1.08× its face value in national terms. That scales every wage here by the same factor — it changes what the numbers mean, not their order. To see where a job pays a real premium, use jobs that pay more in Wyoming.
