Civilian Labor Force and Unemployment:
National, Statewide, Regional, and Counties


The number of unemployed persons in Wyoming decreased from March 1997 to April 1997 and also from April 1996 to April 1997. However, since the labor force increased slightly over the month and decreased slightly over the year, the overall employment situation in the state remains fairly constant.
