Wyoming's July Unemployment rate is at five point eight percent, but Governor Matt Mead says the state still needs to create more jobs.
Mead notes that every county in July created new jobs, but he remains hopeful that sectors outside of energy and tourism also create more opportunities for workers. Mead says that he believes the state is positioned to do that.
"We have the highest credit rating from S&P, which isn't a big deal in terms of the state needing to borrow a lot of money, but it is an expression that we are financially strong and I think that is an attractive thing for businesses."
Mead says the goal is to find more and more people interested in doing business in Wyoming.
