Unemployment rate at 3.4% in November

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

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.

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.”
