Seasonally adjusted unemployment rates fell in Wyoming in May to 3.4%, much lower than the current U.S. unemployment rate of 4.3%.
In Park County, the jobless rate in May was recorded at 2.7%, according to the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services. Most county unemployment rates follow the normal seasonal pattern and fall from April to May, as warmer days bring in seasonal job gains in leisure and hospitality, government, construction, professional and business services and retail trade.
From May 2025 to May 2026, jobless rates fell in nearly every county. The largest decreases were seen in Weston (down from 3.2% to 2.5%), Uinta (down from 3.4% to 2.7%), Sheridan (down from 3.1% to 2.5%) and Carbon (down from 3.4% to 2.8%).
In May, the highest unemployment rates were found in Niobrara County at 3.6%, Sweetwater County at 3.5% and Big Horn County at 3.4%. The lowest rates were reported in Crook and Albany Counties, both at 2.3%, and Johnson County at 2.4%.
