Job growth in Nevada continued in December with a slight improvement over the previous month according to a jobs report released this week.

The unemployment rate in Nevada remains among the highest in the United States as the pandemic continues to inject uncertainty into the economy and impede full recovery.

Nevada’s economy is rebounding more quickly than in some past recessions, but coronavirus variants continue to raise questions about the state’s path toward full recovery.

Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) officials are reminding everyone who’s been receiving federal extended unemployment benefits that these programs end this weekend.

Nevada added back 4,800 jobs in July as the state continues to recover from pandemic-related job losses.

Every federal pandemic unemployment extended benefit program will expire in less than a month, and DETR wants to make sure Nevada residents receiving benefits are aware.

The data from the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation’s (DETR) June 2021 economic report is the first look at the state’s workforce recovery since the full reopening on June 1.

Reno’s May unemployment rate is the lowest among the state’s three metropolitan areas at 4.5%.
