October 2020 Unemployment Insurance Claims Report:
Initial Claims Increase with Seasonal Job Losses
Initial Unemployment Insurance claims in Wyoming grew by 58.6% from September to October, marking the first over-the-month increase since April. The rise in initial claims was not unexpected; the increase in initial claims from September to October is typically the greatest of the year, because of the relatively large number of seasonal summer jobs ending.
Wyoming had 6,073 initial claims in October, up from 3,829 in September (2,244, or 58.6%).
The total number of continued weeks claimed decreased by 20.7%, while the total number of unique claimants increased by 2.5%. The decline in continued claims likely is due to a variety of factors, such as individuals returning to work, leaving the workforce, or exhausting their regular UI benefits.
