Labor Market Information for Jobseekers

Wyoming is currently experiencing low unemployment and relatively strong job growth primarily driven by the oil and gas industry. This is a good time to look for employment in Wyoming.

The following are some of the specific locations on our website that may have useful information for you as you consider your employment options.

1.    Occupational projections - this shows which occupations are expected to grow in the state and what you can expect to be paid (see http://doe.state.wy.us/lmi/projections.htm).

2.    Occupational Employment Statistics - this shows all current occupations in the state and what they are paying (see http://doe.state.wy.us/lmi/oes.htm).

3.    Quarterly Census of Employment and Earnings - this shows which industries can be found in the state, how many jobs there are, and the average weekly wage in each industry (see http://doe.state.wy.us/lmi/toc_202.htm).

4.    Trends newsletter - provides a number of useful economic indicators including Wyoming's cost of living index (see http://doe.state.wy.us/lmi/trends.htm).

5.     ANSWERS site - ANSWERS is your link to the most up-to-date Labor Market Information. Our interactive web site allows you to create tables containing as much, or as little, information as you need. You check wages of occupations, compare occupations or industries, or find overviews of labor market information in particular areas within the state (see http://doe.state.wy.us/ANSWERS/).

You should also visit the Department of Workforce Services website at http://www.wyomingworkforce.org/ and their Wyoming at Work site at: http://wyomingatwork.com.  This is the department that handles connecting prospective employees with employers who are hiring.
