For Immediate Release January 18, 2013 Nevada s Unemployment Rate Falls to 10.2 Percent in December For the month of December, Nevada saw a decline in its unemployment rate from 10.8 percent in November to 10.2 percent. This equates to 138, 800 people unemployed and it marks the lowest the rate has been since February 2009, said Bill Anderson, chief economist for Nevada s Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR). The rate averaged 11.6 percent for 2012, down nearly two percentage points from 2011. I'm pleased that we've ended the year on a positive note, with four straight months of decline in the unemployment rate and a gain of nearly 19,000 jobs in December compared to a year ago, but we have much more room for improvement, Governor Brian Sandoval said. For the three major population centers, Carson City s unemployment rate dropped to 10.1 percent in December, from 12.8 percent a year ago. Las Vegas rate fell to 10 percent, from 13.3 percent in December 2011. For the second month in a row, the Reno/Sparks rate was in the single-digits and is down 2.8 points from a year ago, at 9.6 percent. All major indicators suggest that Nevada ended the year on a strong note, Anderson said. Unemployment is down, job readings are up, and initial claims for unemployment insurance are trending down. Along with other factors, this gives clear indication that Nevada s economy is indeed on the mend. While improvement is slow, these are still good signs that we are heading in a positive direction. -##- More detailed information may be found in the attached Nevada Labor Market Overview and statistical data package from DETR s Research and Analysis Bureau.

BRIAN SANDOVAL GOVERNOR RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS BUREAU FRANK R. WOODBECK DIRECTOR WILLIAM D. ANDERSON CHIEF ECONOMIST NEVADA LABOR MARKET OVERVIEW December 2012 Within the past month, some broad measures of Nevada s economic health have been released which support recent themes in our monthly Overviews pointing to ongoing improvement in the State s labor market. The Census Bureau has released 2012 population estimates that show that Nevada is the sixth-fastest growing State in the nation. The Silver State s 1.4 percent increase (approximately 40,000) was stronger than that for each of the nine multi-state Census Regions. Prior to the recession, Nevada led the nation in growth for, essentially, two decades running. In addition, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis recently published 2012:IIIQ personal income estimates. Through the first three 16% 14% 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% Unemployment Rate: Nevada vs. the U.S. (seasonally adjusted) 0% 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 NV U.S. quarters of the year, Nevada personal income was up 1.8 percent from the same period in 2011. At the height of the recession, in 2009, income declined by nearly nine percent. Unfortunately, however, so far in the recovery, growth in Nevada has lagged that for the nation as a whole. Switching to the labor market, all major indicators suggest that Nevada ended the year on a strong note. For instance, unemployment is down, job readings are up, and initial claims for unemployment insurance are trending down. Specifically, Nevada ended the year with four consecutive monthly declines in the unemployment rate. In December, the jobless rate tumbled from 10.8 percent to 10.2 percent. This marks the lowest reading since February 2009 and follows a 0.7 percentage point decline in November. Nevada s unemployment rate is still 2.4 percentage points higher than the national average, but that is the lowest differential since mid-2009. For all of 2012, the unemployment rate averaged 11.6 percent, down nearly two full percentage points from 2011. 500 E.

In 2011, original estimates showed that the unemployment rate averaged 13 percent. However, the benchmark revisions showed more robust labor force figures, and also increased initial estimates of the resident employment measure obtained via the monthly household survey used in calculating the jobless rate. The end result was a benchmarked unemployment rate of 13.5 percent. Although offering a guess as to what will result in this year s benchmarks is an inherently risky exercise, it would not surprise us to see the same type of revision unfold. In absolute terms, the number of unemployed came in at a seasonally adjusted 138,800 in December. A year ago, 179,700 Nevadans were counted amongst the unemployed. One thing that has become evident in recent years is that Nevada s economic fundamentals are very much influenced by trends beyond our borders in the nation and in the international arena. Recent improvement in Nevada s labor markets has unfolded in the midst of similar improvement at the national level. A number of structural indicators are pointing to improvement nationwide. For instance, after tumbling during the recession, the number of individuals nationwide able to maintain their employment from month-to-month is on the rise. At the height of the recession, about 132 million Americans maintained their employment from month-to-month, based upon survey results. This measure has been on the upswing since 2010, and currently stands at 137.4 million. For all of 2012, the unemployment rate declined in each of Nevada s 17 counties compared to 2011. (As an aside, sub-state information will be subject to the same benchmarking process as the Statewide data discussed above.) Four counties-- Storey, Nye, Lyon, and Clark-- recorded declines in excess of two percentage points.

Change As for December results in the State s three major population centers, Carson City is home to the highest jobless rate, 10.1 percent. 1 Las Vegas rate is ten percent. For the second month in a row, the Reno/Sparks metro area is home to a single-digit unemployment rate, 9.6 percent. All three regions recorded a month-over-month decline. The news on the employment front also impressed at year-end. At a seasonally adjusted 1.15 million in Nevada and Sub-State Nonfarm Jobs: Nov. - Dec.

Hence, comparisons to the State s seasonally adjusted rate should be avoided. Legitimate comparisons, however, can be made to the State s unadjusted rate 9.8 percent in December, down from 10.2 percent in November and 12.9 percent in December 2011. December, nonagricultural job readings in Nevada stand 18,700 higher than a 3% year ago. This is the strongest such increase for 2% all of 2012. December results exceeded 1% expectations. Based upon 0% historical trends, we would have expected a loss of -1% 2,100 jobs in December, relative to November. However, in 2012, the decline was just 100. The end result is a November- December increase of 2,000, seasonally adjusted. In fact, a seasonally adjusted monthly gain was recorded in each of the final four months of the year. percent change For all of 2012, job readings were up 9,300 compared to the prior year (11,900 in the private sector). However, just as with the unemployment rate, our job numbers will be revisited and revised in the upcoming benchmarking process. Original estimates for 2011 showed a year-over-year gain of 2,100. After benchmark revisions, that increase came in at 7,800. As discussed previously, our expectations are for the original 2012 estimates to be adjusted upward, based upon available information from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) Program through the first half of 2012. This series provides a complete count of employment based upon information provided by employers participating in the
Unemployment Insurance System. The QCEW allows us to assess employment trends with the utmost of confidence and offers a way to assess Nevada s progress through the recovery to date. In 2010, private sector jobs in Nevada totaled 958,000. By 2011, job counts had risen to 970,000, an increase of 12,000 jobs. Through the first half of 2012 (the latest available information), job readings were trending another 17,000 higher than a year ago. So, it appears that Nevada is on its way to having added 25,000-30,000 jobs over the 2010-2012 period. As the State s job growth has rebounded, Nevada has moved up the job growth rankings. Prior to the recession, Nevada led the nation in terms of private sector job growth. At the height of the downturn, Nevada was home to the most pronounced job losses in the nation in both 2009 and 2010. Since then, we have started to make up lost ground. The 1.7 percent increase in private sector jobs during the first half of 2012 in the Silver State was stronger than growth in 17 other states. So, improvement is evident, but much ground is left to be made up. As for the State s metro areas, Las Vegas led the way with a seasonally adjusted gain of 4,300 jobs in December. The region ended the year with three consecutive seasonally adjusted gains. Employment is up 15,600 relative to December 2011. For all of Nevada Las Vegas Reno Carson City 2012, the region saw employment increase 6,400. While Reno/Sparks employment levels stand 3,000 above a year ago in December, underlying trends were somewhat weak. Whereas 500 new jobs were expected relative to November, based upon normal seasonal patterns, there was actually a decline of 100. The end result is a seasonally adjusted loss of 600 relative to November. Average monthly job levels throughout 2012 were up about 500 compared to the prior year. Trends in Carson City at year-end are similar to those evident throughout 2012, and can best be described as flat. Employment was unchanged over the month in December and off by just 100 from a year ago. For all of 2012, employment was down 800 relative to 2011. Once again, the leisure/hospitality industry leads the way in December. In fact, throughout the entire year, job readings in the State s largest industry (in terms of employment) are up 6,100 compared to 2011, a Metro Area Nonfarm Job Growth (year-to-date; year-over-year) -2,000 0 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000
Leisure and Hospitality Trade, Trans. and Utilities Professional and Business Services Construction Nevada Nonfarm Job Growth by Industry (year-to-date; year-over-year) -4,000-2,000 0 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 result entirely consistent with the well-publicized on-going gains in Las Vegas visitor numbers, which have been on the rise since mid-2009. This month, we examine Nevada s share of direct (casino hotels and gambling) gaming jobs nationwide. Available evidence shows that Nevada accounted for 32-33 percent of all gaming jobs over the past four years, down from a 35+ percent share in the middle part of the 2000s. Some of the decline is certainly structural in nature, and reflects the spread of gaming beyond Nevada s borders. Some of the drop may also reflect the cyclical impacts of the recession. Those in search of gaming-related entertainment during the downturn may have elected to do so at non-nevada venues as a possible cost-saving measure. Over the past few months, we have been monitoring seasonal hiring in the retail trade industry. October, November, and December retail trade job gains exceeded expectations. When all is said and done, retail trade employment increased by 9,100 over the September- December period, very similar to holiday-related seasonal hiring patterns prior to the recession. Previously, we have provided evidence of an uptick in construction activity, especially as it pertains to the residential market, although recent gains are coming off of historical lows. Construction job readings, although still sluggish (specifically, they are off by about 100,000 from peak readings), ended the year with two consecutive months of seasonally adjusted job gains. On a related note, the third quarter of 2012 brought with it further easing on the foreclosure front. Statewide, the number of new mortgages entering the foreclosure process totaled nearly 5,200 over the July- September period, the lowest level of new activity in more than five years. The total inventory of foreclosed mortgages eased for the seventh consecutive quarter. While public sector job levels have declined in recent years, some signs of stability have emerged over the course of the past several months. In December, total public sector payrolls, at 148,100, seasonally adjusted, in Nevada, stand 1,600 higher than year-end 2011.
