Teton Unemployment At 2 %

Wyoming’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased slightly from 3.7% in August to 3.8% in September. That’s still lower than the September 2018 level of 4.2%, but slightly higher than the current U.S. unemployment rate of 3.5%. At the same time, there were the same number of workers in Wyoming’s labor force (the sum of all employed and unemployed individuals) as last year.
