Despite the boom, young workers are no more likely to remain in Wyoming than they were a decade ago.
An analysis by the Research and Planning Section of the Wyoming Department of Employment tracked workers age 16 to 34 from 1992 to 1997 to see how many were still working in the state at the end of that time.
The number dropped from 112,318 in 1992 to 68,065 in 1997, declining at an average rate of 7.9 percent.
