Competition for workers is fierce in Wyoming. Every industry is facing a labor shortage, and it's not just "warm bodies" that are needed. Managers need skilled workers who can hit the ground running.
Wyoming is bucking the national trend yet again. Our economy continues to grow and our population is increasing. The biggest growth is in young retirees.
While on the surface this may seem frustrating to a business looking for workers, it's actually a perk. Eighty percent of people over the age of 50 say they want or need to work - they just don't want to do it in a traditional way. They want to contribute their skills and knowledge, they also want the flexibility to work shorter hours or seasonally. They may not need access to a health insurance plan or a 401K, but they want money to contribute to benefits they have earned elsewhere.
If you are willing to consider who makes a good job candidate, you may find a wealth of experience and a strong work ethic at your door. And, you may be able to keep your best workers on the job long after you think they will retire.
We'll show you how.
