Local Jobs and Payroll in Wyoming: Sharp Slowdown
in Job Growth in Third Quarter 2012
 |
Total unemployment insurance (UI) covered payroll increased by $2.7 million (0.1%) in third quarter 2012. Employment rose by 1,649 jobs (0.6%) and average weekly wage decreased by $4 (-0.5%). In third quarter, total wages and average weekly wage grew at a much slower pace than their five-year averages. Analysts have noted that "minerals related employment is one of the key predictors of sales and use tax revenue" in Wyoming (CREG 2010). Despite the recent growth, overall employment remains approximately 10,000 jobs (3.4%) below its third quarter 2008 level. In other words, the state has yet to recoup all the job losses of 2009 and 2010.
