Introduction
Wyoming has experienced several booms and busts over the decades1 as a result of its natural resourcesbased economy. The most recent expansion saw increases in employment that ranged from 3.9% in third quarter 2006 to 4.8% in first quarter 2007 (see Figure 1; Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, Research
1 A boom is characterized by a period of rapid economic expansion resulting in higher gross domestic and/or state product, lower unemployment, and rising asset prices. Conversely a bust is distinguished by economic recession or downturn (Economics Help, n.d.).
& Planning, n.d.[a]). Growth in the average monthly wage was even more significant, with four straight quarters of increases of 10% or greater from first quarter 2006 to fourth quarter 2006. Wyoming entered into an economic downturn in first quarter 2009, when over-the-year employment declined by 1.0% (-2,700 jobs). The most significant job losses occurred in fourth quarter 2009, when average monthly employment fell by 6.3% (-18,000 jobs) over the year. From first quarter 2008 to first quarter 2010, 15,469 jobs were lost. For additional detail about wages and employment in Wyoming, see the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) page at toc_202.htm.
