Employment

Nearly 600 people worked at the vast, open-pit mines, which were among the most productive in the U.S.

But a decline quits could signal that the job market has lost some of its previous momentum.

Third Street Partners, LLC, a Wyoming Company, recently announced a redevelopment project along South 3rd Street in Laramie.

Mineral extraction employment grew 1.5 percent from last year. Related industries also increased.

But where does Wyoming find its status as most stressed out?

Wyoming has lost 6,500 residents since 2015, the biggest drop since the years following the 1980s oil bust.

The lowest unemployment rates were found in Teton at 2.2 percent, and Crook and Goshen at 3.1 percent.

The proposal is sponsored by Rep. James W. Byrd (D-Cheyenne).

Sierra Trading Post has laid off 40 positions at its Cheyenne location, the company said in a statement Jan. 27, 2017.

Data suggests that Wyoming residents aged 18-34 make more than any of our bordering states.
