Wyoming’s economic recovery slowed by mining decline
April 1, 2021/
Wyoming’s economy is rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic better than previously anticipated, but much of the economic recovery has been slowed by a significant decline in the mining industry, according to Wyoming Economic Analysis Division Chief Economist Wenlin Liu.
The mining industry’s taxable sales dropped a total of 63.1% statewide, according to the fourth quarter Wyoming Economic Summary Report for 2020, which is one of the largest year-over-year drops in Wyoming’s history.
