Identifying Pathways to Prosperity in Wyoming
Wyoming has experienced a sustained loss of jobs and a weakening of key drivers of growth for more than a decade. Whereas the Mountain West region has seen diversified growth and neighboring states have recovered quickly from COVID-19 job losses, Wyoming’s economy continues to lag. In this project, Growth Lab researchers are working in collaboration with the Wyoming Business Council, numerous state agencies, local government offices, and Wyoming-based research institutions to enable local economic resilience and develop stronger pathways to sustainable prosperity across the state. Leveraging our frameworks of growth diagnostics and economic complexity, we are working collaboratively with stakeholders to improve outcomes in housing, workforce access, local spending, and growth of energy opportunities.
