Wyoming unemployment

Teton County had the largest drop in unemployment.

Unemployment continues to surge nationwide during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Wyoming isn't an exception.

More than 6,000 claims were filed last week.

The new numbers reflect a slight decrease from October where unemployment was at 3.8 percent.

Wyoming's statewide unemployment rate increased to 5.5 percent in April, up from 5.2 percent the month before.
