Not enough workers? So, what's keeping people out of WY. Is it the cold winters?

I love Wyoming
And yes it does get cold with some fierce winds
I am considering Wyoming as the place I want to hang permanently but the big problem for me is that A LOT of land in Wyoming is state so its make buying rural property expensive
Plus if you do buy you may not have mineral rights to your own property

" put up billboards on the Mexican border with directions on how to get to Wyoming."
Doesn't WY have a resident population of bears? They too would need the billboards directing them to the illegals' routes.

I spent my last summer vacation in Wyoming so sign me up I am willing to move. I think Wyoming is the third most beautiful state (sorry Hawaii and Alaska win 1 and 2). After I showed my friends our vacation pics they made plans to go there this year.

Wyoming is very cold and generally quite dry. Its high altitude and lack of moisture make summer mornings in much of the state very cold. Winter begins in September and continues into June. Even at Laramie (home of the University of Wyoming), the average growing season lasts just 84 days (compared to 113 days in Fairbanks, home of the University of Alaska) with overnight temperatures frequently dropping into the 40s and occasionally into the 30s even in mid-summer.
The bitter cold and very short growing season makes most of Wyoming too inhospitable for most agriculture. The state economy consequently depends overwhelmingly on mineral extraction, which regularly goes bust between brief booms.

There will be a labor shortage, people move in and about the time the population gets above 500,000, everything shuts down and people move out again.
It has been that way for decades.

Where do I send my CV? I'd love to get out of this beltway madness.
