Unemployment numbers for Wyoming released

The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services reports that the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell from 4.1% in October to 3.7% in November.

Teton County’s unemployment rate increased from 1.9% in October to 2.9% in November; not surprising since unemployment often rises in Teton County in November as tourist activity slows between the summer and winter seasons. Elsewhere, at 1.7%, Albany County and Weston County tied for the lowest unemployment rate in November.
