Financial and Investment Analysts salary in Wyoming

Wyoming's median wage for Financial and Investment Analysts came in at $213,940 in 2024, more than double the national median of $101,220. That is a 111% gap, one of the largest state-level differentials we see for this occupation across the country.

The figure deserves a closer look. Only 220 analysts work in this role across the entire state. A small group can shift the median significantly, and the mean of $205,160 sits below the median here, which tells us a handful of very high earners are not driving the number up. If anything, the distribution leans the other way. The p10 sits at $84,080 and the p25 at $127,130, so even entry-level and early-career analysts in Wyoming land well above the national middle.

Wyoming's cost of living runs about 8% below the national average, based on a BEA regional price parity index of 92.1. That makes the nominal premium larger in practice. A $213,940 paycheck buys more in Cheyenne than the same number would in most coastal metros. In purchasing-power terms, the state median translates to roughly $232,000 in national-baseline dollars.

BLS projects employment for this occupation to grow 5.7% between 2024 and 2034, an outlook BLS classifies as faster than average. Wyoming's small employment base means even modest net additions move that percentage around, so the projection reflects national trends more than state-specific hiring patterns. We note the absence of p75 and p90 data in the BLS release for Wyoming, likely because the state's sample is too small to publish those figures reliably.
