With our small population and close-knit culture, it can be easy to forget how relevant and impactful international trade is to Wyoming. We rely on international trade for a good amount of our economy, largely due to our prevalent role in the energy game. Ensuring that we have good international relations and regulations in place can help Wyoming, along with the rest of the nation, to continue to prosper and thrive on a global scale. Curious to see just how much our state relies on international business and trade? Check out these numbers below from a recent study conducted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
