Wyoming Unemployment Insurance Statistics:
Initial Claims--Statewide, by Industry

Please note! There are many large decreases in "Percent Change Claims Filed" this month. Part of the reason this occurred is because of calendar variations: August 1995 included five weeks (as did July 1996), but August 1996 had only four weeks.
