CHEYENNE (WNE) — The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased from 3.4% in May to 3.2% in June, according to the Research & Planning section of the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services report released on Wednesday.

Wyoming’s unemployment rate has fallen in each of the past three months and is much lower than the current U.S. rate of 4.2%.

From May to June, unemployment rates fell in 20 counties and remained unchanged in three counties. Jobless rates often decrease in June as seasonal job gains occur in many sectors, including construction, leisure and hospitality, and professional and business services.

Compared to a year earlier, unemployment rates decreased in nearly every county around the state.

In June, Teton County had the lowest unemployment rate at 1.7%. It was followed by Lincoln County at 2.1%. The highest unemployment rates were found in Niobrara and Sweetwater counties, both at 3.4%.

Current Employment Statistics estimates show that total nonfarm employment in Wyoming (not seasonally adjusted and measured by place of work) rose from 301,600 in June 2025 to 304,100 in June 2026, an increase of 2,500 jobs (0.8%).

July unemployment data will be published on Aug. 24.
