This is a 2.4 percent decrease since last January when Cheyenne reported 46,400 workers on non-farm payrolls.
Statistics were compiled from reports from the civilian labor force and unemployment data, both of which heavily relied on household surveys. The data is not seasonally adjusted.
Employment data is gleaned from an establishment survey that measures non-farm employment, hours and earnings by industry. The data is also based on payroll jobs and such factors as where the establishments are located.
Overall, Wyoming reported 265.4 thousand million people employed on non-farm payrolls in January.
