Labor Market Information is used in policy making, planning, program administration, and as a direct consumer service. It is the collection and analysis of data involving labor supply and demand.

• Labor Supply encompasses all the information regarding individuals in the workforce; including skills and educational characteristics of the employed and unemployed, barriers to employment and unemployment rates.
• Labor Demand pertains to information regarding employers; including prevailing wages and benefits, current job vacancy levels, occupations and skills of the employed and unfulfilled skill needs of employers.

The Research & Planning Section of the Wyoming Department of WORKFORCE SERVICES is funded by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Employment and Training Administration. We provide statewide and local labor demand and supply information. Each state has a similar agency. Contact us:
