Residential Building Construction in Wyoming

A share above 5% signals a meaningful regional cluster; below 1% usually means the state is not a structural fit for this industry at scale.

Wage benchmarking is where state-level data earns its keep. The average annual compensation for Residential Building Construction employees in Wyoming is $57,730/yr, versus a national average of $71,083/yr. Wyoming pays below the national average for this industry, common in lower cost-of-living states or where the industry has a smaller, less specialized local workforce.

Profitability data is only available at the national level because the IRS Statistics of Income program does not publish state-level margin breakdowns. The national net profit margin for Residential Building Construction is not reported, and while margins do vary by state, the direction of variance usually follows labor cost and establishment size, both shown above.
