Overview of Labor Force Dynamics

Labor Market Churn Although Wyoming employment rose steadily for
17 years (1987 – 2004), a substantial amount of entry and exit occurred
Wyoming imports labor from other states during expansion and subsequently exports labor during contraction

Nonresident UI Claimants
Nonresident UI claimants are not included in the calculation of unemployment rates – it’s done by place of residence
For February 2011, if we included the nonresident claimants in the calculation, Wyoming’s unemployment rate would have been 7.1% (seasonally adjusted), an increase of 0.9%

To Summarize… Wyoming labor market volatility Displaced workers less likely to be working in the year
following layoff Substantial number of UI claimants located out of state Number of new hires in 2011Q3 comparable to levels
seen in 1995 Substantial proportion of jobs filled by new hires
require little or no postsecondary education Reduced demand for natural gas coupled with
competition from other states slows job growth and recovery in Wyoming
