The employment department reported on April 13 that Nevada’s March jobless rate fell to 5.8 percent, down from 5.9 percent a month earlier.
The unemployment rates are calculated following procedures prescribed by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the state Labor Department said.
OH added 18,300 jobs in March, and the unemployment rate inched up to 5.1 percent as thousands of Ohioans poured back into the labor force looking for work, according to ODJFS.
The local-unemployment data isn’t seasonally adjusted, meaning the figures don’t reflect seasonal influences such as holiday hires. “All economic indicators show positive signs despite monthly volatility in the metro area rates”. The largest increases occurred in Sublette (up from 6.7% to 7.5%), Campbell (up from 6.4% to 7.1%), Teton (up from 3.0% to 3.5%), and Weston (up from 4.1% to 4.6%) counties.
Fremont County posted the highest unemployment rate in March (7.8%).
Around the state, Tompkins County with 3.5 percent unemployment reported the lowest rate, while Hamilton County with 8.6 percent recorded the highest.
