Wyoming’s construction workforce is 22,700 strong—and climbing. That’s a 2% increase from last year, and it’s more than just a number. It’s a signal: Wyoming is building.
At Compass Construction, we’ve always said it—growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people show up, put in the work, and do it right. That’s exactly what we’re seeing across Wyoming right now.
Between heavy civil projects, state-funded infrastructure improvements, and a push for rural development, Wyoming is laying the groundwork for long-term economic impact—and builders like us are ready to deliver.
Here’s why this moment matters:
-
More Boots on the Ground = More Capacity to Build
Workforce growth in construction means the state is equipped to take on more complex, higher-volume projects. And with crews expanding, timelines can move faster without sacrificing quality. That’s good for communities and for clients. -
Public Infrastructure Is Leading the Way
Recent reports show Wyoming’s Department of Transportation has awarded over $23 million in highway and bridge contracts. Heavy and civil engineering alone grew over 15% year-over-year. These aren’t surface-level upgrades—they’re critical investments in statewide mobility and access. -
Quality Builders Will Set the Standard
In fast-moving markets, not all builders operate with the same level of precision. At Compass, we bring a Montana-forged standard to every job—clarity, communication, and craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Whether we’re laying concrete or laying the groundwork for a community’s next chapter, we don’t cut corners. -
We’re Here to Lead the Way
Wyoming’s growth is only beginning. As new projects break ground and cities expand their infrastructure, we’re proud to be part of the next wave of builders shaping this region with care, experience, and vision.
To us, 22,700 workers doesn’t just mean more hands. It means more possibility.
Let’s build what’s next—together.
