Some entry-level roles pay closer to $18.05 an hour, or $37,550 a year, once a few months of experience accumulate.

Nationally, EMT pay rose about 25% over the past decade, a slower climb measured over a longer stretch. Wyoming's rise over its shorter five-year window outpaced that national decade trend in dollar terms.

Anyone weighing the job can look at these numbers as recent history rather than a promise.
