Benefits built around the season
Teton County hospitality, measured on the most recent quarters in the public record. Each number below changes something specific in a benefits plan, and the second half of each card says what.
6,899 jobs in the fourth quarter, 9,835 in the third
Accommodation and food service employed an average of 9,835 people in Teton County in the third quarter of 2025 — 36.3% of every covered job in the county — and 6,899 in the fourth, which is still 30.7% of the county. Lodging carried 6,831 of the summer figure and 4,578 of the autumn one. Arts, entertainment and recreation added 1,509 private jobs in the third quarter and 894 in the fourth.
No other sector in the county is even half that size — construction, the next largest, ran 2,776 jobs in the same quarter. A plan written for a year-round office does not fit a roster like this. The design starts from the headcount you actually run in each month of the year.
October 23,900. November 20,638. December 22,783.
Those are Teton County’s covered jobs in the three months of the fourth quarter of 2025. October to November is a fall of 3,262 jobs, or 13.6%, and November to December is a climb of 2,145, or 10.4%, as the winter season opens. The county turns over roughly one job in seven inside a single quarter.
A swing like that is what look-back measurement periods, stability periods and variable-hour rules exist for. Getting the eligibility method right is the first build on a hospitality plan, because every other decision — contribution, tiers, affordability testing — sits downstream of who counts as eligible and when.
Turnover of 53% a quarter, wages of $859 a week
Leisure and hospitality turnover in Wyoming ran 53.0% per quarter in the second quarter of 2025, the highest rate of any industry group and well above the 31.2% all-industry rate. Accommodation and food service averaged $917 a week in the third quarter of 2025 and $859 in the fourth, with food service at $727, against $1,819 a week for Teton County as a whole.
Contribution and affordability have to be set against those wages rather than against the county average, and the enrolment process has to survive people arriving and leaving all year. We build the contribution model and the onboarding path together, in one pass.
One hospital, and a roster that changes twice a year
Teton County has one hospital and two urgent care locations — one at Smith’s Plaza in town, one in Teton Village. St. John’s Health is the sole health system in Jackson Hole, employs over 850 people, and treats residents and visitors alike from the same 48 acute care beds: 33 in progressive care, six in intensive care and nine in the birth center.
A seasonal hire needs to know which door to use on day one, in a county with one emergency room and two urgent care locations. We check the network against those exact sites and hand you plan-language your managers can give a new starter without calling anyone.
Staff who live over the state line change which carriers make sense. Huhn Insurance is licensed in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, California and Texas, so every side your people work and live on gets compared.
