Wyoming compared with the United States
Annual real GDP growth was 2.22 percentage points below the U.S. annual growth rate in 2025. Personal income per resident was $14,081 above the U.S. value of $77,028 in the same year. These comparisons use national observations from the same regional producer files.
The August unemployment rate was 1.1 percentage points below the national 4.1% reading. That numerical difference is not a statistical-significance claim. The 2024 price parity was 7.3% below the national benchmark. Household circumstances and local housing markets can differ from these state averages.

Employment and unemployment history
Unemployment describes eligible resident jobseekers as a share of the civilian labor force. Payroll employment describes jobs at establishments in Wyoming. A commuter can live in another state; a person with multiple covered jobs can contribute multiple payroll jobs. Neither series substitutes for the other.
