Growth % and openings are national BLS projections. The employment and wage columns are Wyoming OEWS estimates where published.

OEWS publishes Wyoming employment for only 35 of 50 occupations on the national fastest-growth list , the largest published footprint is Home Health and Personal Care Aides at 3,410 jobs (+17% projected). The national percentage leader remains Wind Turbine Service Technicians at +49.9% (90 in-state).

Sparse coverage usually means many ultra-small growth occupations fall below the OEWS publish threshold in Wyoming, not that growth is absent. After Home Health and Personal Care Aides, the next published counts are Cooks, Restaurant (2,710) and Industrial Machinery Mechanics (2,010). Treat blank state cells as unpublished estimates, then open the occupation profile for the national openings figure.

Annual openings (growth plus replacements) still live on each occupation profile. A high percentage on a tiny base can add fewer Wyoming seats than a mid-single-digit gain on a large OEWS count. Education and credential columns on the profile set the entry clock; several fast-growth rows need multi-year training before the projection window helps a new entrant.

Wyoming OEWS rows first, then unpublished national growth titles

Rows with published Wyoming employment are sorted by in-state jobs. Occupations without a state OEWS row stay at the bottom in national growth order.
