Construction Supervisor pay in Wyoming, bottom to top
BLS calls this group first-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers: the foremen and crew leads who run the work on site.
| Pay level | Hourly | Yearly | National hourly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10th percentile | $27.40 | $57,000 | $25.62 |
| 25th percentile | $30.77 | $64,000 | $30.48 |
| Median | $37.62 | $78,250 | $38.42 |
| 75th percentile | $49.47 | $102,910 | $48.78 |
| 90th percentile | $61.14 | $127,170 | $61.66 |
| Average (mean) | $41.67 | $86,670 | $41.56 |
From the bottom tenth ($27.40) to the top tenth ($61.14), the top of the scale pays about 2.2 times the bottom in Wyoming, close to the 2.4 times spread for construction supervisors nationwide.
The floor is higher than nationally ($27.40 against $25.62) but the ceiling is lower ($61.14 against $61.66), which squeezes pay toward the middle.
The average wage, $41.67, sits 11% above the median. A smaller group of higher earners pulls the average up, so the median is the better guide to what a typical construction supervisor makes.

What a contracting business in Wyoming should charge
Say you run a contracting business in Wyoming and pay the state median of $37.62 an hour. Here is the labor rate calculator's math on its starting numbers: 40-hour weeks, 10 paid days off, 2 unbilled hours a day, 7.65% payroll taxes, $90,000 a year of overhead and 15% profit.
| Step | Math | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Paid hours | 40 × 52 | 2,080 |
| Hours at work | 2,080 − 10 days × 8 | 2,000 |
| Billable hours | 2,000 × 6 ÷ 8 | 1,500 |
| Labor cost | $37.62 × 2,080 × 1.0765 | $84,236 |
| Break-even rate | ($84,236 + $90,000) ÷ 1,500 | $116.16 |
| Rate with 15% profit | $116.16 ÷ 0.85 | $136.66 |
That is $136.66 per billable hour, 3.6 times the wage, and $1.40 less than the $138.06 the same math gives at the national median wage.
Paying the 75th percentile instead, $49.47 in Wyoming, to hire and keep experienced people raises the rate to $157.47.
A cheaper crew saves less than it seems: at the 25th percentile wage of $30.77, the rate only drops to $124.63.
Overhead, at $60 of every billed hour, and the unbilled hours move this rate more than a raise does. A dollar more in wages adds about $1.76 to the rate.
