The State of Wyoming’s Economic Analysis Division has released the May 2025 edition of the Cheyenne Economic Indicators report, which is now available on the division’s website at ai.wyo.gov/divisions/economic-analysis.
The report includes the Cheyenne Economic Health Index (ChEHI), a key tool designed to evaluate the current economic conditions in Laramie County.
According to the latest data, the ChEHI stood at 108.3 in March 2025, matching the index value from March 2024. Despite this stability, the index has shown a year-over-year decline in five of the last six months, indicating some fluctuations in the region’s economic momentum.
Unemployment in Laramie County was recorded at 3.7% in January 2025, a slight increase from 3.5% reported in March 2024. Still, job growth continued, with total non-farm payroll employment reaching 49,200 in March 2025 — up by 200 jobs, or 0.4%, from the previous year. This marks the highest recorded employment level in the county.
Sales and use tax collections for Laramie County also experienced a notable rise. In March 2025, the county collected $12.2 million from the 4% sales and use tax, an increase of $900,000, or 7.9%, compared to the same month in 2024.
