Federal Funding Cuts Lead to Discontinuation of MSA Employment Statistics
Effective with the release of January 2008 data on March 11, 2008, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will discontinue publication of all nonfarm employment series for 65 small metropolitan areas. In Wyoming, this funding cut affects the Casper metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and Natrona County. These cutbacks are due to a reduction in BLS funding from the 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act enacted on December 26, 2007. For more details, see http://www.bls.gov/sae/msareductions.htm.
