Seasonal
Variation of Employment in Wyoming
by:
Valerie Davis, Senior Statistician
S
easonal variation(1) in employment is shown in the
Map. Youth and others who are interested
in summer employment can see that several counties would be good
places to work in the summer; Teton and Park Counties, for example.
Those individuals who are interested in year-round employment would
have a tougher time in finding a county to work in. However, there
are counties that show less seasonal variation, like Albany and Laramie.
Further information, such as the major industries in each county, can
be obtained from the new publication, Wyoming 1997 Annual Covered
Employment and Wages. Call Research & Planning at (307) 473-3807
for a copy. The Internet version is already available at:

1 Seasonal percent change (variation) was calculated by subtracting
first quarter 1997 data (the first quarter of the year generally shows
the least employment over the year) from third quarter 1997 data (the
third quarter of the year generally shows the most employment over the
year), then dividing that result by third quarter 1997 employment and
finally multiplying by 100.
