Wyoming’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell from 8.8% in May to 7.6% in June. This decrease in unemployment suggests that Wyoming’s economy continues to recover from the sharp contraction seen in April. State Workforce Service officials say it appears that the lifting of some COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and the reopening of businesses have resulted in many individuals returning to work. While still elevated, Wyoming’s unemployment rate was significantly lower than the US rate of 11.1%. The largest of the state’s unemployment rate decreases occurred in Teton County where it dropped from 15.0% to 9.3%, Park County, Sheridan County, and Sublette County unemployment also all dropped significantly. Still, unemployment rates remained up from the same month a year ago as a residual effect of the Coronavirus closures. Teton County led that elevated rate having gone from 2.2% in June of 2019 to 9.3% last month.
