Wyoming’s lowest unemployment rate during the first month of the year was found right here in Teton County at 2.7%, followed by Converse County at 3.0%, Not so fortunate were neighboring Sublette County where the jobless rate increased to 5.9%, and to the east, Fremont County saw a 5.4% unemployment rate in January. Statewide, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained unchanged from December to January at 3.7%. Wyoming’s unemployment rate was slightly higher than its January 2019 level of 3.5%, but very similar to the U.S. unemployment rate of 3.6%. Colder weather and the end of the holiday shopping season often bring seasonal job losses in January in many sectors, including construction, retail trade, government, and professional & business services. Still, the state’s labor force grew by an estimated 1,772 people, or 0.6% from one year earlier.
