Nevada s Unemployment Rate Falls to 9.6 Percent in April

For Immediate Release May 16, 2013 Nevada s Unemployment Rate Falls to 9.6 Percent in April In April, Nevada s unemployment dropped to 9.6 percent, falling nearly 2 percentage points over the year. This equates to 132,400 people out of work, dropping by 27,000 since April 2012, said Chief Economist Bill Anderson, of Nevada s Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR). The state s metro areas also saw a decline in the number of jobless in April. Las Vegas unemployment rate fell to 9.6 percent and the Reno/Sparks area rate dropped to 9.7 percent. Carson City fell to 10.1 percent and is now the only metro area in the state to have a double digit unemployment rate. In Elko, the rate dropped to 5.6 percent. Nonfarm employment in Nevada rose by 5,600 jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis. The private sector added 6,400 jobs over-the-month, while the public sector cut 800. Given historical trends, job levels typically increase by 4,200 (not seasonally adjusted) over the March-April timeframe, Anderson said. This year, 9,800 were created, resulting in the seasonally adjusted gain. Visit us http://www.nevadaworkforce.com and Follow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/nvlabormarket -##-

BRIAN SANDOVAL GOVERNOR RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS BUREAU FRANK R. WOODBECK DIRECTOR WILLIAM D. ANDERSON CHIEF ECONOMIST NEVADA LABOR MARKET OVERVIEW April 2013 Nevada s economic recovery is gaining momentum, but the State still tops many unfavorable lists. Over the past year, Nevada added 22,700 new jobs, equating to a two percent rate of growth and the unemployment rate has fallen nearly two percentage points to 9.6 percent in April. Even with improvement in nearly all corners of the economy, Nevada still has the largest ratio of underwater homes of any state in the Nevada and Sub-State Nonfarm Jobs: Mar. - Apr.

These topics are addressed in more detail in this month s Overview. First and foremost, nonfarm employment in Nevada rose by 5,600 jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis. The private sector added 3% 6,400 jobs over-the-month, while the public sector cut 800. Given historical trends, job levels typically increase by 4,200 (not seasonally adjusted) over the March- April timeframe. This year, 9,800 were created, resulting in the seasonal gain discussed above. Final estimates for March were revised to show a loss of 2,800 from February to March. During the first four months of the year, Nevada has averaged 800 new jobs per month. jobs 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 M J J A S O N D J F M A M J J A S O N D J F M A 2011 2012 2013 Jobs Pct.

higher than a year ago). Construction also saw the largest decline, 1.9 percent, as compared to March 2013. Mining and manufacturing were essentially unchanged. On the service-providing side, professional and business services (+4,300) had the largest over-themonth change with most of the gains coming from the administrative/support/waste management/remediation services sector (+3,400), which houses the temporary hiring agencies. The gains in professional and business services, in our opinion, are long overdue. Last year, the sector grew at a rate of 3.2 percent, a top performer in Nevada, as far as employment goes. It became evident after the benchmark process (where the Current Employment Statistics (CES) are realigned with data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, which is a near perfect count of over 98 percent of the jobs the CES estimates) that the series consistently underestimated employment in 2012. Given the lackluster performance to date in 2013, we suspect the sample may be underestimating job growth again. The industry is down 1,900 jobs so far this year, and is the lone industry not growing in 2013. Leisure and hospitality, Nevada s largest employer, saw an increase of 2,100 jobs, a 0.6 percent gain from March-April. In the leisure and hospitality sector, the employment expansions are specifically coming from the accommodation and food service sub-sector, which gained 2,200 jobs. Education and health services notched upward with a gain of 700 jobs and financial activities increased by 600. The loss of 800 in government employment was evenly split between state and local government. Other services, manufacturing, mining, and trade/transportation/utilities were little changed over the month. On a year-over-year basis, Nevada is seeing advances in nearly all industries. The top growth rates are seen in mining at 5.9 percent, financial activities at 4.3 percent, and construction at 4.1 percent. Real estate, rental and leasing, a subsector of financial activities, which has been struggling to rebound from the economic downturn until lately, experienced a 7.4 percent growth rate, adding 1,700 jobs as compared to April 2012.

The number of unemployed people, at 132,400, was also little changed over the month; however, unemployment has decreased by 27,000 since April 2012. The continuing improvement in Nevada s economy is apparently encouraging more people to join the labor force, which has grown by 6,100 people since January. The civilian labor force participation rate (LFPR) was 63.9 percent in April, an increase of 0.1 percent from March, the first increase since early 2010. However, as previously stated in past issues of the Nevada Labor Market Overview, due to the aging demographics of the population, we do not expect the LFPR to rebound sharply even if the economy improves dramatically. The unemployment rate fell in each of the State s metro areas. 1 Las 1 Unemployment rates for the State s metropolitan areas and counties reported here are not adjusted for seasonality. Hence, comparisons to the State s seasonally adjusted rate should be avoided. Legitimate comparisons, NV U.S. Vegas had a reading of 9.6 percent, down by 0.2 overthe-month, and the rate in the Reno/Sparks area fell by 0.3 to 9.7 percent. Carson City fell by 0.5 percentage point to 10.1 percent and is now the only metro area in the State to have a double digit unemployment rate. In the Elko area, the rate dropped to 5.6 from 5.9 percent in March. The unemployment rate is a prominent measure of labor market performance. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports six alternative measures of labor underutilization, deemed the U1-U6 rates, with the official unemployment rate most similar to the U-3 rate. The official ranks of the unemployed include all people without jobs who are ready to work and have actively sought employment in the prior four weeks. The other measures are provided to analyze the rate by redefining the official concept. Of the six other measures of underemployment, most attention is paid to the discouraged workers (U-4) and involuntary part-timers (U-6). Including all the people discouraged over jobs prospects (not included in the official definition because of failing to meet the job search criteria), the unemployment rate would increase by about 0.9 percentage point. The broadest measure of labor underutilization rates, U-6, includes involuntary parttimers, defined as those working however, can be made to the State s unadjusted rate 9.5 percent in April, down from 9.8% in March and down from 11.2 percent in April 2012.

The U-6 rate, at 19.6 percent, dropped below 20 percent after peaking in the four-quarters ending in 2011:Q1 at 23.7 percent. While the job changes discussed above are at the forefront of labor market discussions, the Business Employment Dynamics series offers insight into the underlying forces below the employment movements. For example, in 2012:Q3, the latest data available, gross job gains at expanding or opening private sector establishments totaled 58,100. At the same time, 56,800 jobs were lost at closing or contracting establishments. The difference between the number of gross job gains and gross jobs losses yielded a net employment gain of 1,300 jobs in the private sector during the 3rd quarter of 2012. This represents the eighth consecutive quarter of net job growth, based upon BED measures. There is no doubt Nevada s economy is making strides in the right direction. A handful of states have entered into expansionary territory, including one of Nevada s neighbors, Utah. Late in 2012, Utah surpassed its previous employment peak set in 2007. The West South Central Census Division was the first and only Census division to surpass its former peak set in 2008. Not all regions peaked during the 2007-2008 timeframe. The New England area hit a quarterly peak in 2001:Q1, and has recovered a little more than 64 percent of the jobs lost since the former apex. The East North Central Division also had a peak more than 10 years ago in 2000, and struggled to regain employment after the 2001 recession. The Mountain Division (including Nevada) has recovered 54.9 percent of the jobs lost since its pre-recessionary peak. For comparison, Nevada has recovered just 24 percent. Improving fundamentals and a resurgence in Americans moving to sunnier states from the north is having a beneficial impact on Nevada s ailing housing market. CoreLogic reported that over 50 percent of the mortgages in Nevada were underwater in 2012:Q4. Given the impressive gains in home prices detailed last month (year-over-year gains were up nearly 20 percent), expect this ratio to fall throughout the year similar to last year. To illustrate, last year Nevada had an estimated 61 percent of mortgaged properties with negative equity. For comparison, Florida and Arizona had the next highest ratios at 40.2 and 34.9 percent, respectively. Nevada

still has a long way to go in the housing recovery as it again holds the number one position on an unfavorable list. The seemingly great deals in the real estate market could be a reason why people are still moving to the Silver State. Recently released data from the Census Bureau listed Clark County as 10th on the list for counties with the largest numerical population increase from July 2011 to July 2012. Both the analysis of regional employment recovery and underwater mortgages highlight an important aspect of our recovery Nevada s early recovery phase has been lackluster. It has only been recently that Nevada outpaced nationwide barometers, implying many more states were growing faster. As the labor market continues to improve, Nevada could move rapidly to make up lost ground. The Las Vegas metropolitan statistical Area (MSA) experienced employment growth of 0.6 percent in April relative to the prior month, increasing by 5,400 jobs. Reno/Sparks MSA experienced a slight loss of 200 jobs, and Carson City employment decreased by 100. The balance of state, mainly the rural areas, had a modest increase of 500 jobs. Over-the-year, Las Vegas has added 18,500 jobs (2.3 percent), Reno/Sparks added 600 jobs (0.3 percent), and Carson City employment fell by 200. Nevada Las Vegas Reno Carson City Estimates of GDP by metropolitan area are available through 2011, making the data a little dated, but nonetheless insightful. In 2011, Las Vegas was the only metropolitan area to increase its output from the previous year, rising by 0.5 percent. On the other hand, Carson City s output declined by 0.7 percent. In the Reno/Sparks area, output declined by 0.5 percent after rising by 1.7 percent in 2010. Each of Nevada s three metropolitan areas recorded a peak output in 2007. Reno/Sparks was the first of the metro areas to bottom out, reaching a low in 2009, while Las Vegas recorded a post-recession low in 2010. Carson City s output reached new lows in 2011. GDP growth by MSA again illustrates that much of Nevada s growth is concentrated in Las Vegas. All told, real GDP in Las Vegas grew by more than one-fourth over the decade ending in 2011. The Reno/Sparks economy grew 14.6 percent, whereas Carson City has only seen a 6.7 percent increase. Metro Area Nonfarm Job Growth (year-to-date; year-over-year) -5,000 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 30,000

Look for job growth across Nevada to average about 23,000 new jobs over the course of 2013 about a 2.1 percent growth rate. Over the 2014 to 2015 timeframe, employment is projected to expand by 30,000 and 33,000, respectively. The projections stem from an employment base of 1.13 million. In terms of the unemployment rate, we expect the 2013 annual average to come in around 9.4 percent with another point decline in 2014. For reference, through the first four months of 2013, the unemployment rate has averaged 9.9 percent. By the time 2015 arrives, the unemployment rate in Nevada should be around the eight percent range. In summary, a rising number of jobs and a falling unemployment rate nudged Nevada a step in the right direction. Nevada may be making up lost ground as its recovery unfolded later than most other states.
