The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services reports that the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell .4% from November to 3.3% in December. The agency says Wyoming’s unemployment rate has been trending downward for several months and is much lower than its December 2020 level of 5.2%.
Most county unemployment rates changed very little from November to December, but Teton County was the exception with the unemployment rate falling from 2.8% to 1.6% as the ski season got into full swing. Last month, the highest unemployment rates were found in Natrona County at 3.1%, Sublette County at 2.9%, and Sweetwater County at 2.9%.
Teton County reported the lowest unemployment rate at 1.6%, followed by Weston County at 1.7% and Albany, Crook, Goshen, and Niobrara counties, each at 1.8%.
