Wyoming Unemployment Unchanged at 3.8% in October 2019
The Research & Planning section of the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services reported today that the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained unchanged from September to October at 3.8%. It was lower than its October 2018 level of 4.2%, but slightly higher than the current U.S. unemployment rate of 3.6%. Wyoming’s labor force increased by 1,000 people or 0.3% from October 2018 to October 2019.
Most county unemployment rates changed very little from September to October. One exception was Teton County, where unemployment rose from 2.0% to 2.7%. Unemployment often increases in Teton County in October as the summer tourist season winds down and the winter season has not begun. Unemployment rates decreased in Campbell (down from 3.9% to 3.4%), Weston (down from 2.7% to 2.4%), and Big Horn (down from 3.8% to 3.5%) counties.
