Quick Answer

People with felony records get hired in Wyoming every day. The fastest path is the same one that works everywhere: staffing and temp agencies (they know which employers are open to records), national employers with felony-friendly policies, and employers that get paid to hire you — the Work Opportunity Tax Credit pays an employer up to $2,400 for hiring someone with a felony conviction, and the Federal Bonding Program insures them for free for the first 6 months.

Wyoming ban-the-box status: Wyoming has no ban-the-box law at the state level and no significant local ordinances as of 2026.

Minimum wage in Wyoming: $7.25 (federal; the $5.15 state statute applies only to employers not covered by the FLSA). We don't have a Wyoming city guide yet — the national company directory and staffing agencies below are your best starting points.

WyomingBan-the-Box & Fair Chance Rules

No ban-the-box law

Wyoming has no ban-the-box law at the state level and no significant local ordinances as of 2026.

No additional state fair-chance law.

No matter what the law says, the practical rule everywhere is the same: employers may consider a record, but they cannot have a blanket no-felons policy. Under EEOC guidance, an employer must look at the nature of the offense, how long ago it happened, and whether it relates to the job. If you were rejected solely because of a record, you can file a free complaint with the EEOC or your state civil rights agency.

Felony-Friendly Employers Hiring in Wyoming

Companies featured in our Wyoming city guides, with our verdict on their record-friendliness. National chains hire at locations across the state.

Our Wyoming city guides aren't live yet. Until they are, start with the full company directory (350+ employers) and the industry hubs with the best odds: trucking, food service, warehouses, and manufacturing.

Staffing & Temp Agencies That Place People with Records

Temp agencies are the single fastest route back to work — the agency, not you, handles the employer's screening. These agencies appear across our Wyoming city guides.

Start with the national agencies with felony-friendly track records: Express Employment Professionals, PeopleReady (same-day day labor), Elwood Staffing, ProLogistix (warehouses), and Staffmark. See the full list in our staffing agency guide.

Register with two or three agencies at once — placements are first-come, and a wider net means fewer gap weeks.

How to Get Hired in Wyoming with a Record

1. Lead with the tax credit and the bond. When the application asks about your record and you get to an interview, be direct: "I have a record from a few years ago. If it matters to your hiring decision, you qualify for a $2,400 Work Opportunity Tax Credit and a free federal bond for my first six months." Employers rarely know these exist — being the candidate who does makes you the low-risk hire.

2. Start with temp, convert to permanent.Temp-to-hire lets an employer see your work ethic before they see your paperwork. Roughly 30–40% of temp placements convert. Accept the first assignment even if it's not ideal — recent work history is the asset that unlocks everything else.

3. Know what Wyoming employers can ask. Wyoming has no statewide restriction, but EEOC rules still require employers to consider each record individually rather than auto-rejecting. Answer honestly when asked — lying on an application is itself a firing offense and reads worse than most convictions.

4. Check whether your record can be cleared. A pardon or expungement changes the job search completely. Read our Wyoming expungement guide and Wyoming pardon guide.

5. Get the interview in person when you can.Records screened by software reject; records evaluated by a human who has met you often don't. Walk in, apply in person for local and service jobs, and ask for the manager. It's the oldest advice there is because it works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Wyoming have a ban-the-box law?
Wyoming has no ban-the-box law at the state level and no significant local ordinances as of 2026. No additional state fair-chance law.
What companies hire felons in Wyoming?

Our full directory covers 350+ companies with verdicts — filter to your industry first.
What is the minimum wage in Wyoming in 2026?
$7.25 (federal; the $5.15 state statute applies only to employers not covered by the FLSA). Entry-level and temp work generally pays at or above this floor; warehouses, manufacturing, and CDL driving pay well above it. If a job offer pays less than the legal minimum, file a wage claim with the Wyoming labor department — it's free.
Can a Wyoming employer run a background check and reject me for a felony?
Yes, but not automatically. Under federal EEOC guidance, an employer must consider the nature of your offense, how long ago it occurred, and its relevance to the job — a blanket no-felons policy is illegal discrimination risk. Background check timing rules in Wyoming depend on state law and city ordinances; the federal individualized-assessment rule always applies. If you're rejected because of a record, you're entitled to a copy of the background report (FCRA) and can dispute errors.
What reentry employment help does Wyoming offer?
Wyoming operates Wyoming DOC Reentry and Offender Resources (statewide release planning + Casper Reentry Center and Cheyenne Transitional Center) (https://corrections.wyo.gov/services-and-programs/reentry-and-offender-resources). Every state also has American Job Centers (careeronestop.org) with free job search help for people with records, plus the federal tools that travel anywhere: the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (employers get up to $2,400 for hiring you) and the Federal Bonding Program (free insurance on your first 6 months). Local programs from our Wyoming city guides are listed above.
Do staffing agencies in Wyoming hire people with felony records?
Yes — staffing agencies are the most record-friendly corner of the job market, because the agency absorbs the screening and vouches for you to its client companies. National agencies with felony-friendly track records — Express Employment Professionals, PeopleReady (same-day day labor), Elwood Staffing, ProLogistix, Staffmark — all place in Wyoming. Register with several at once and tell them up front about your record so they only send you to clients that accept it.
