CHEYENNE (WNE) — The Research & Planning section of the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services reported Friday that the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 3.4% in November 2025.

Wyoming’s unemployment rate was slightly lower than its November 2024 level of 3.6%, and much lower than the U.S. unemployment rate in November 2025 (4.6%).

From November 2024 to November 2025, unemployment rates rose in 16 counties, fell in four counties, and held steady in three counties. The largest increases occurred in Niobrara (up from 3.4% to 4.2%), Sweetwater (up from 3.6% to 4.4%) and Weston (up from 3.2% to 3.8%) counties. Jobless rates fell in Sheridan (down from 3.5% to 3.3%), Johnson (down from 3.3% to 3.1%), Sublette (down from 3.7% to 3.6%) and Hot Springs (down from 3.6% to 3.5%) counties. Unemployment rates were unchanged in Albany (2.9%), Goshen (3.6%) and Uinta (3.8%) counties.

In November 2025, the highest unemployment rates were found in Platte and Teton counties, both at 4.7%. The lowest rates were reported in Albany County at 2.9%, Johnson County at 3.1% and Crook County at 3.1%.

Current Employment Statistics (CES) estimates show that total nonfarm employment in Wyoming (not seasonally adjusted and measured by place of work) rose from 293,300 in November 2024 to 293,400 in November 2025, an increase of 100 jobs (0.0%).

Unemployment estimates for October 2025 are not available due to the lapse in federal funding. An announcement on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) website stated: “Household survey data from the Current Population Survey were not collected for the October 2025 reference period due to a lapse in appropriations and will not be collected retroactively.”
