How Wyoming’s Exodus of Young Adults Holds Back Economic Diversification |
Wyoming’s longstanding strengths in resource extraction provide much of its livelihood, including its private earnings and public finances. However, its lack of activity in other sectors exposes Wyoming to economic shocks. As part of our Pathways to Prosperity project, a new research paper examines the state’s binding constraints to growth and identifies opportunities for diversification.
Our research team proposes that Wyoming look to its advanced services and manufacturing sectors, which lag behind those in other states. The state has made critical investments in education to help generate the necessary pools of skilled labor, but the exodus of young people and families makes it exceedingly difficult.

Greenplexity Launched at COP29 |
At last month's UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Azerbaijan, the Growth Lab launched Greenplexity, an interactive tool that helps countries identify their localized opportunities for green growth by supplying what the world needs for the global energy transition.
The tool provides 10 years of data for ten green value chains: batteries, critical minerals, the electric grid, electric vehicles, green hydrogen, heat pumps, hydroelectric, nuclear, solar, and wind power, and includes strategic outlooks for more than 140 countries.
