How do price levels change Wyoming's national position?

Within the enrollment-weighted state comparison, the nominal F-33 estimate is $76,650 and ranks #19. Applying the BEA 2023 Regional Price Parity (91.6, US=100) produces a relative purchasing-power figure of $83,724 and rank #11: 8-place lift.

This is a separate, enrollment-weighted state-level price comparison; the headline and main state-salary rank use an unweighted district mean. Neither measure is take-home pay, a district cost-of-living budget, or an individual contract offer.

Wyoming's purchasing-power rank moves 8-place lift

Wyoming's nominal average teacher salary ranks #16 of the 49 states and territories that report teacher salaries. Adjusted by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis's 2023 Regional Price Parity (91.6, US = 100, a relative state-level price-level index, not a district or metro cost-of-living figure), the estimate becomes $83,724, ranking #11 of 49 , 5 places higher than the nominal rank once relative price levels are factored in. This purchasing-power view is not published by NEA's teacher-pay rankings or the aggregator sites; it comes from combining our own F-33-derived salary estimate with BEA's public RPP series.
