Wyoming County Unemployment Rates
data produced by: David Bullard, Economist
"Almost every county in the Southwest region of Wyoming had higher unemployment in May 1999 than 1998. It appears that much of the increase in this area and others is associated with job losses in the oil and gas industry."
