FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Announcing “Keep Care in Wyoming” Healthcare Career Fair and Resource Event
Event will connect healthcare workers with local and statewide employers, workforce resources, and community partners

GILLETTE, WY — May 27, 2026 — In response to the significant healthcare services/workforce transition occurring at the end of July, ASCend Specialists will host Keep Care in Wyoming, a healthcare career fair and resource event designed to support affected healthcare workers, strengthen local healthcare access, and help retain healthcare talent in Campbell County and across Wyoming.
The event will bring together healthcare employers, workforce partners, community organizations, and local leaders to connect healthcare professionals with available employment opportunities and resources. Gillette and Campbell County-based healthcare providers will be prioritized for employer table space in recognition of the immediate local impact and the need to preserve healthcare access close to home.
Statewide Wyoming partners will also be invited to participate where they can help retain healthcare workers within the state.
“Our first priority is to help keep as many of our healthcare workers as possible right here in Campbell County,” said Linda Bedwell, CEO of ASCend Specialists. “At the same time, we recognize that our local healthcare capacity may not be able to absorb everyone. If someone cannot remain in Gillette, we want to do everything we can to help keep that talent in Wyoming.”
The event’s mission is to serve both immediate and long-term needs. In addition to connecting workers with potential employers, ASCend hopes the gathering will help spark broader conversations about healthcare access, helping providers start independent practices, workforce retention, and how local and statewide artners can work together to enhance care across Wyoming.

Healthcare employers, workforce organizations, educational institutions, and community partners interested in participating are required to reserve a table/RSVP at https://forms.office.com/r/4eAskW3MAj
Healthcare workers seeking new employment opportunities, career resources, or connections with Wyoming healthcare employers are encouraged to RSVP at

Wyoming Unemployment Rate Steady at 3.6% in March 2026

The Research & Planning section of the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services reported today that the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained unchanged from February to March at 3.6%. Wyoming’s unemployment rate was higher than its year-ago level of 3.2%, but lower than the current U.S. unemployment rate of 4.3%.

From February to March, most county unemployment rates followed their normal seasonal pattern and fell slightly. County unemployment rates often fall in March as warmer weather brings seasonal job gains in construction, professional & business services, and government. The largest unemployment rate decreases occurred in Fremont (down from 5.7% to 4.6%), Big Horn (down from 5.6% to 4.6%), and Carbon (down from 5.2% to 4.4%) counties. Unemployment rose slightly in Hot Springs County (up from 4.1% to 4.3%).

Compared to a year earlier, jobless rates rose in 15 counties, fell in seven counties, and held steady in Park County. The largest increases were reported in Niobrara (up from 4.4% to 5.4%), Sweetwater (up from 4.0% to 4.6%), and Hot Springs (up from 3.8% to 4.3%) counties. Unemployment rates fell in Washakie (down from 3.8% to 3.4%), Campbell (down from 3.7% to 3.4%), and Weston (down from 3.6% to 3.3%) counties.

In March 2026, the highest unemployment rates were found in Niobrara County at 5.4% and Sweetwater, Platte, Park, Fremont, and Big Horn counties, each at 4.6%. The lowest unemployment rates occurred in Albany and Teton counties, each at 2.7%.

Current Employment Statistics (CES) estimates show that total nonfarm employment in Wyoming (not seasonally adjusted and measured by place of work) rose from 288,200 in March 2025 to 289,600 in March 2026, an increase of 1,400 jobs (0.5%).

April unemployment data will be published on May 26, 2026.
