Newsworthy News - Wyoming’s wide-open promise now comes with a chilling footnote: it may be the most dangerous place in America to earn a paycheck. Wyoming’s workplace fatality rate has ranked at or near the top nationally, with 45 deaths in 2023 and 37 in 2024, far above typical state levels.
Transportation crashes, mining, agriculture, and construction drive most deaths, reflecting an economy built on high-risk work. Nonfatal injury and illness rates are also above the national average, suggesting a broader safety problem, not just statistical noise.
