What roofers earn in Wyoming
Wyoming's roofers earn a median $21.95 an hour, far below the US median of $26.65. That ranks 47 of 50 states, among the ten lowest-paid states for the trade. Applied to the labor share of a 2,000 sq ft roof, that takes about $790 off the national midpoint.
The index is statewide. Wages inside Wyoming differ by metro area, and a contractor's price also depends on overhead, insurance, travel and how busy the season is, none of which a wage median captures.
