The document summarizes Wyoming's economic trends from 2009 to 2013. It notes that while Wyoming recovered strongly from the recession in 2010-2011, its economy slowed in 2012-2013 due to falling natural gas prices. However, the economy appears to be growing again in late 2013 as gas prices have stabilized. The mining industry, which makes up a large portion of Wyoming's economy, struggled but oil exploration continued expanding. The document analyzes employment, GDP, revenue trends and forecasts modest growth for Wyoming's economy in 2014.

2. • WY in the recession: late entry, sharp contraction in 2009, stronger
rebound in 2010 and 2011 – employment, income, wage, and
revenue all increased.
•
•
•
•
But the recovery slowed in the second half of 2012 and the first half
of 2013 – mainly caused by reduced NG prices (drilling declined, fuel
switching by power plants). (NG prod -6.0%, coal prod -9.0%).
Mining industry lost jobs.
However, oil exploration continued to expand in 2012 (2.0%).
Driven by housing market recovery, construction employment
showing growth.
Starting the 3rd quarter of 2013, Wyoming’s economy appears
growing again – stabilization of NG drilling activities and coal
production from increased NG prices.

5. • Wyoming’s economy does not mirror that of the nation.
In terms of economic diversity and specialization, Wyoming is probably
the least diversified state in the nation when measuring employment
and GDP distribution across industries in comparison with the U.S.
•
Economic diversity has been commonly considered as a means to
achieve economic stability. A diversified economy is considered a
robust economy, and is better able to withstand and recover from
significant unfavorable changes in any one sector.
•
“However, research is mixed as to whether it is better for a state or
local economy to become more diversified, or remain specialized in
sectors where it has, or may acquire, a comparative advantage.”

WY economy has been improving since the summer of 2013 and is
expected to continue to grow moderately in 2014 – benefiting from
continuing expansion of oil exploration and recovery of NG prices.
Because of its large proportion and pivotal role in WY’s economy, the
improvement in mining industry will trigger into other economic sections.
As a energy extraction dependent economy, WY will benefit from
continuing global commodity demand and U.S.’ stronger economy in 2014.
Residential construction continues to grow.
Tourism industry will benefit from EU recovery and continued U.S. recovery
because they bolster tourists’ spending ability.
Population grow around 1.0%, and employment will grow over 1.0%;
unemployment rate below 4.5% in 2014.
- Potential Projects: Chokecherry and Sierra Madre; Moneta Divide; Transmission lines
(Gateway West, TransWest Express).
- Concern: upcoming regulation on existing coal fueled power plants.

If we divide the whole U.S. economy into different industries or sectors, it’s the pie chart on the left.And if we divide Wyoming’s economy into different industries or sectors, it’s the pie chart on the right side.- Mining, AK, WV, ND < 5.0%. OK, LA, TX < 4.0%.- Government: only D.C. & Alaska were higher than Wyoming. Manufacturing: only D.C. & HI were lower.Educ % Health Services: only NV was lower.Most undiversified economy.Economic diversity has been commonly considered as a means to achieve economic stability. A diversified economy is considered as a robust economy, and is better able to withstand and recover from significant unfavorable changes in any one sector.However, research is mixed as to whether it is better for a state or local economy to become more diversified, or remain specialized in sectors where it has a comparative advantage.
Mining account for nearly 30% GDP.High wage rate and high taxes they paid.
The boom in the 1970s, and bust in the 1980s caused by oil price surge and drop.The boom in the period 2005-2008 was led by NG price surge and exploration.Job growth rate in these 3 years were the fastest in the nation. Wyoming’s recent economic recession lagged the U.S. recession by nearly a year. But WY lost 4% jobs in 2009, similar to job losses in the U.S. The job recovery started since early 2010, similarly to the U.S.WY recovery in 2010 and 2011 was quite strong, but it slowed down since the 2nd quarter of 2012. Caused by weak NG and coal prices and production.As a result, WY recovery in 2012 and 2013 was weaker.
Since 2000, WY’s unemployment rate has been consistently lower than the U.S.During the recent WY boom years 2006-2008, Wyoming’s unemployment rate was just around 3.0%. Due to the recession, the unemployment rate in U.S. and WY increased dramatically in 2009.-For the U.S. , it’s the first time in history that the high unemployment rate lasted so long (4 consecutive years over 8%, highest in 20 years.For 2013, the U.S. unemployment rate will still be about 7.5%, while WY Unemployment rate will be still about 4.7%, the highest since 1999.
-This chart shows the year-over-year percent change of employment by quarter from 1q08 to 3q13.-You can see that when U.S. was already in recession in 2008, WY still experienced job gains. -Once recession started in WY, it went down faster and deeper.-Our recovery in 2010 and 2011 were stronger.-But it slowed down since the 2nd quarter of 2012. NG gas price dropped to below $2.00/mcf in April 2012, drilling activities slowed. -2012 NG prices was 30% lower than 2011, prod declined 6%; coal production was also down by 9% in 2012.-It turned out that there was no job gains in the 2nd half of 2012, and the 1st quarter of 2013.-WY’s employment started to grow again since this summer. We see
ND = 3.5%FL = 2.5%; ID = 2.4%; TX = 2.4%.
Wyoming’s 4.6% in October declined from October 2012’s 5.1%, It was much lower than the U.S. 7.3%, and we ranked 5th lowest in the country, only higher than ND (2.7%), SD (3.7%), NE (3.9%) and HI (4.4%).4 states’ unemployment rates were over 9.0% (NV, RI, MI), and no states were in double digit. The highest was Nevada 9.3%.The states with the next highest rates were Rhode Island (9.2%), and Michigan (9.0%).
-Another piece of evidence showing the slowdown of Wyoming’s economy during the second half of 2012 and the first half of 2013.-Sales taxes declined for consecutive 11 months from August 2012 to June 2013.-This declining period was just spanned FY 2013.-Finally, sales taxes started to change direction in the summer, just like the employment chart shows, the WY’s economy trends up again.
The 11 month consecutive declines was just happened to be in FY 2013. This map shows year-over-year % change in sales tax collection by county between FY 2012 and FY 2013. The total sales taxes declined 4.7%. -Sales taxes from mineral extraction industry declined double digits, and it attributed to about half of all sales tax declines during the period.-It clearly reflect the downward trend in energy activities in Southwest (particularly Jonah field in Sublette) and Northeast. -On the other hand, oil drilling in the lower Powder River Basin mainly in northern Converse county continued to be very active.-The nearby Natrona is benefiting with service provisions.
- This map shows the sales tax change for the first 4 months of FY 2014 comparing the previous year, compare cumulative sales taxes July-Oct 2013 with cumulative sales taxes July-Oct 2012. - Just like the improvement in employment, the sales taxes finally showed increases starting in the 3rd quarter of 2013.It increased 7.1% statewide. Laramie County – one time purchase of computer software in October.Continued expansion of oil drilling in Niobrara shale in Converse and Niobrara counties. - It does indicate that activities from natural gas exploration are stabilizing, particularly in SW (Sublette) and NE (Campbell).
-Extreme price volatility in natural gas pricing was the story throughout much of the last decade. Demand was far out-stripping supply, and pipeline capacity fell way short of meeting production levels here in Wyoming. The result created price disparities reaching as high as $5.00/Mcf.-All of this has changed in the last 4 years!A simple way to gauge Wyoming’s economic condition is to observe NG prices due to its dominant status in the State.If the price is above $6.00 /mcf - economy is booming (2005 to 2008).If the price is between $5.00 - $6.00/mcf - economy is robust (2003 to 2004). If the price is around $4.00/mcf – economy is just o.k. or growing moderately (2010 and 2011). When the price falls below $3.00/mcf – economy is weak (2002, 2009, and 2012). YTD = $3.70/ Mcf
Natural gas production in U.S. increased 30% in the past 6 years. - The growth were mainly from unconventional shale gas exploration due to HF and HD in TX, LA, and PA. WY NG production peaked in 2009, decline over 11% in 3 years, 6.0% decline in 2013. WY coal production peaked in 2008, has declined 14% in 4 years. It dropped 9% in 2012, 3.0% decline in 2013. WY oil production increased over 12% since 2009, 3 consecutive years of growth, 8.0% increase in 2013. Chokecherry and Sierra Madre wind project.
The revenue boom in the early 1980s was dominated by oil.While the recent boom was mainly natural gas.-Severance taxes reached to nearly $1.1 billion in FY 2008, which was 5 times as much as in FY 1999.-Severance taxes dropped 6.0% in FY 2013, mainly caused by reduction of NG prod and prices.-For next few years, we expect oil production continues to rise, but NG and coal flat.-Proportion of severance taxes from each mineral was about equally shared.
-Valuation is in calendar year instead of fiscal year.-The purple color on the bottom are mostly non-mineral valuation, mainly includes residential, commercial, and industrial properties.-Its valuation was relatively stable over the years, All the fluctuation was from mineral valuation.-% of mineral valuation: 1981=72%; 1998=49%; 2008=70%; 2012=59%.-Solely due to NG price and production decline, the total mineral valuation dropped over 16% in 2012. -% of mineral valuation is still expected to be over 60% in next few years.Illustration of how influential energy is on the State’s taxable value. Note growing importance of natural gas!All property tax is based on the assessed value of property. Mineral production is assessed at 100 percent.Assessments are done on a calendar year basis; property tax revenue received on a fiscal year basis (approx. 2 years later). CY07=FY09
Charts shows Wyoming’s population by age group from 1970 to 2030.From 1970 to 1980, the younger working group age 25-44 nearly doubled.From 2000 to 2010, the fastest increase happened in older working age group 45-64, due to aging of baby boom population.Then, for the next 10 years, the older age 65&over will grow the fastest over 50% to reach to 107,000 because many early boomers will move into that group.
This chart is called population pyramid showing population distribution by age and sex; The left side is male, and the right side is female.Horizontal axis is population and vertical axis showing 5-year age group, from young at the bottom to older at the top. -100 year ago, the U.S. population was a perfect true pyramid shape, more young people on the bottom and a lot less older people at the top.-In 20 years, they will be in a rectangle shape. You can clearly see how the baby boomers move in each decade, this group was in 35-54 age group in 2000, 45-64 in 2010, 55-74 in 2020. You can see the higher proportion of baby boomers – age 45 to 64, low proportion of Generation-X, and high proportion of echoes.As you know woman live longer than men. For population older than 70 years, there are more woman than man, for population over 85 years, the number of woman are twice as many as men.
Mainreasons for delaying retirement: increasing health care cost, keep health insurance. insufficient pension and retirement savings – reduced 401ks from 2008 financial crisis. people are healthier.
Summary:After weak performance in the 2nd half of 2012 and 1st half of 2013, WY’s economy was improving starting in the 3rd quarter. benefited by continued expansion of oil drilling along southern Powder River Basin. renewed interest in NG drilling resulting from price recovery. stabilization and recovery of coal production.The improvement of WY economy is expected to continue through 2014 with job growth rate over 1.0% and unemployment rate below 4.5%.
