A tight job market in Casper WYOMING (wpr) - Wyoming's unemployment rate has more than doubled in the past year and the number of people losing jobs in the state is growing by the day. Although the downturn in the economy has impacted a number of businesses, those hardest hit worked in the energy industry, construction and service industry. Over 20 years ago the city Casper saw massive layoffs following the downturn of the oil industry. It led to the closure of several companies and many people packed up and left town. Most agree that things are not that bad right now, but for those out of work, finding a new job is difficult and things don't look to improve anytime soon.
