The Wyoming Economic Analysis Division released a report for the month of April, showing jobs in the mining sector lost the most compared to all other industries.
The mining sector lost 25.3% of its employment, or 4,900 jobs, year over year in March 2021 compared to March 2020.
Dylan Bainer, Principal Economist for the Economic Analysis Division in the Department of Administration and Information, said the large drop in airline travel due to COVID-19 is a major factor in the decrease.
Bainer said that the mining industry has been losing jobs for a long time, as April marks the 15th consecutive month of job losses, with January and February of 2020 each losing 600 jobs year over year compared to 2019, but that the pandemic has exacerbated those job losses.
It s one of the worst fears realized. Your vehicle breaks down in a remote area in the dead of night. That happened to a woman recently with one special exception. She was joined in her quest to get back to civilization by a deer.
I first saw this story trending on Digg. After her vehicle broke down, she heard the pitter patter of footsteps approaching her. It was an innocent fawn that refused to leave her side for over 3 hours and a total walk of over 8 miles.

Thanks to my faith, I don t believe in accidents. You can t convince me that this woman wasn t being watched over as this deer made sure she was never really alone.
