Many decision-makers do not always have the time to collect and analyze current economic and demographic information.  Therefore, CBI decided to produce a series of monthly newsletters to compile the information for them.  CBI now distributes a monthly newsletter for each county in Wyoming, and one for the entire state (24 newsletters total, produced each month). 

There are several key components to the CBI Focus newsletters:
 

• Each month, we will provide graphs that include current information on excise tax distributions, the size of the labor force residing in each county, and the local unemployment rate (these are the three graphs on the left hand side of the first page).
  

• Alternating quarterly, semi-annually, or annually (depending on the availability of current data), we will provide 3 more graphs on topics such as building permits, inflation, employment, housing, income taxes, lodging taxes, median household income, migration, mineral taxes, population, poverty, property taxes, school enrollments, and wages.
  

• On the second page, we will discuss in more detail one of the topics from the list above, including a comparison of every county in Wyoming.
  

• Generally, we will provide about three years of data with the graphs and analysis, including the most current information available.
  

• Our newsletters are based on publicly available information.  The data source notes are posted here.
  

CBI Focus newsletters are supported through advertising and sponsorships, so that they can be distributed at no cost to anyone who wants the information.  The Advertising/Sponsorship Rate Sheet is here.

CBI Newsletters can be downloaded for each county in Wyoming, and also for Wyoming statewide totals/averages.
