The Table above shows the top 15 employing occupations within
the TCPU Division. This division is anticipated to decline
3.9 percent by the year 2006 due to technology replacing
manpower. This would mean a decline of 541 jobs within the
division. Also, this division is population driven and Wyoming
is not expecting a rapid influx of people moving into the state,
therefore this industry will not be expanding to meet consumer
needs because the existing employment levels coupled with technology
are sufficient to meet current consumer demand.
