Job Growth Comes to Nevada!
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 10,300 more people were working in Las Vegas in March compared to the month before. The increase in employment is partially due to jobs growth in hotels & gaming, service industries, and education & health services. Construction employment continues to fall with 57 thousand currently employed--down from 61 thousand the year before.
Nevada's unemployment rate fell to 13.2%--down from 13.6% in February as many unemployed workers found jobs. As jobs continue to improve in the U.S. and locally in Nevada, growth is likely to follow.
