Wyoming sees another drop in unemployment rate

The Casper Star-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/2e99gh6 ) that federal statistics show the state's jobless rate was 5.3 percent last month, down from 5.5 percent in August and 5.7 percent in July.

State economist David Bullard says an increased rig count and rising oil prices could've led energy companies to hire more workers during those months.
