As the year progresses so do positive
Labor Force Trends in Wyoming and Sweetwater County. The
Rock Springs Chamber Business Development Program tracks these changes and
creates a Demographic Report, so that businesses and citizens can be informed
about current trends in the community.
In this month’s
Demographic report, it is reported the most current unemployment rate as of
January, is at 4.4% for Sweetwater County. We ended the 2013 year with a 3.8%
unemployment rate, and had a labor force of 25,355 compared to the 2012 number
of 25,110. The City of Rock Springs and Sweetwater County
is continually growing. Currently the trends are showing an annual population
increase of 3%, with our current median age of 31.5 years, and continuing to
get younger. The monthly demographic update is generated based off reliable
data released by City, County, State and Federal Government entities.
The sole purpose of the monthly Demographic Update
is to inform and educate not only the community of the changing demographics of
Rock Springs and Sweetwater County, but to continue to keep our community and
our business partners aware of the growing changes in our society and economy.
The information that is released is also used to help attract and relocate new
businesses to the area, aid in the growth and expansion of current businesses
as well as help in retaining already established businesses in Rock Springs and
Sweetwater County.
The Rock Springs
Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to the community and its future success. Please
