Unemployment in Wyoming remained unchanged last month in May at 3.3%.
The Research & Planning section of the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services reported on Wednesday that Wyoming’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was unchanged from April to May at 3.3%.
The state unemployment rate was slightly higher than its May 2024 level of 3.1%, but much lower than the current U.S. unemployment rate of 4.2%.
From April to May, most county unemployment rates rose slightly. It is somewhat unusual for county unemployment rates to increase in May when agriculture begins to boom.
The largest increases occurred in Niobrara (up from 3.0% to 3.6%), Converse (up from 2.7% to 3.1%), Goshen (up from 2.8% to 3.2%), Johnson (up from 2.2% to 2.6%), and Weston (up from 2.7% to 3.1%) counties. Park County’s unemployment rate fell from 3.2% to 3.1%.
The unemployment rates remained unchanged in Washakie (3.3%), Fremont (3.6%), Carbon (3.5%), and Big Horn (3.9%) counties.
