Why Are Young People Leaving Wyoming?
When young people pack up and leave Wyoming, they’re not chasing some abstract dream—they’re fleeing a reality they can no longer afford. In this opinion piece, a state legislator turns the spotlight on the voices of students, graduates, and young families to ask why. The answers come fast: jobs, housing, health care, freedom. But more than complaint, this is a call for change—toward smart policy, investment, and a culture that values inclusion over division. The question isn’t just why they’re leaving, but how we’ll get them to stay. For an article out of Wyoming asking what we should also be asking in North Dakota, check out this piece from WyoFile.
