What Do Wyoming Employers Want? Evidence from the New Hires Survey
Research & Planning’s New Hires Survey collects information about wages and benefits, job duties, license and education requirements, and job skills for jobs filled in Wyoming. The survey was designed to capture detailed information on occupations, benefits, wages, full- or part-time employment status, education and licensing requirements, and necessary skills for Wyoming jobs. These results are intended for use by a wide variety of audiences, including training providers and educators, job seekers, and employers.
The occupation with the largest number of new hires from fourth quarter 2010 to third quarter 2012 was cashiers (9,937), followed by truck drivers, heavy & tractor trailer (8,810), and retail salespersons (7,232). Of these top 20 occupations, females made up the greatest proportion of all new hires employed as office clerks, general (65.6%), waiters & waitresses (63.4%), bartenders (62.9%), and cashiers (60.6%). while truck drivers, heavy & tractor trailer (79.3%), roustabouts, oil and gas (79.3%), and construction laborers (78.3%) had the largest proportions of male workers.
