Wyoming: Energy Industries
Wyoming's energy industry drives its economy; more specifically, energy extraction from fields in the Powder River Basin. A geology, engineering, or mineral science degree can help you find work in this profitable field. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports mining and geological engineers earned a mean annual salary of $79,910.
Wyoming: Job Markets
Employment opportunities also exist in the state's second most profitable industry: tourism. Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks are in Wyoming. So are Fossil Butte, Devil's Tower, and Jackson Hole. Service professions and small businesses profit from busy tourist seasons. While the economy has contracted during the economic downturn, the state boasts an unemployment rate of 6.5 percent, much lower than the national rate.
