Nevada’s Rate of Unemployment Decreases in December and for 2013

Carson City, NV—In December, Nevada’s rate of unemployment dropped from 9 percent to a

seasonally adjusted 8.8 percent, the lowest reading since November 2008. The state ended the

year with four consecutive monthly declines in the unemployment rate, said Bill Anderson, chief

economist for Nevada’s Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation.

For all of 2013, Nevada’s unemployment rate averaged 9.4 percent, down from 11.1 percent the

prior year.

“I am pleased that Nevada ended 2013 on a positive note,” Governor Brian Sandoval said. “The

unemployment rate declined in each of the year’s final four months, to its lowest reading since

late 2008 and jobs were added for three straight months at the end of 2013. While this is good

news for our state, our unemployment rate is still too high. As 2014 begins, all indications

suggest additional improvement, with trends pointing to further job growth and a continued

decrease in the unemployment rate.”

The annual unemployment rate declined in each of Nevada’s 17 counties compared to 2012. Nye

County recorded the largest over-the-year annual decrease (2.1 percentage points). Ten counties

had rate declines of at least one percentage point, and an additional seven counties had declines

between 0.1 and 0.8 point. Lyon County has the highest unemployment rate in the state at 13

percent, while Esmeralda’s annual rate was the lowest at 3.7 percent in 2013.

However, for December, the unemployment rate increased in the metro areas. Las Vegas’ rate

increased from 8.6 percent to 8.9 percent, and in Reno, the rate went from 8.2 percent to 8.4

percent. Carson City’s December rate rose from 9.1 percent to 9.3 percent. Unemployment rates

for the state’s metropolitan areas are not adjusted for seasonality. For comparison purposes, the

state’s unadjusted unemployment rate was 8.8 percent in December, up from 8.5 percent in

November.

“Preliminary indications suggest that seasonal holiday hiring in the final months of 2013 was

relatively strong,” Anderson said. “All told, about 14,100 jobs were added between September

and December in those trade/transportation industries typically home to most holiday-related

hiring; this is the strongest gain in the post-recessionary period.”

Preliminary figures suggest that another 18,900 private sector positions were created during the

past calendar year. Anderson said that number is expected to rise during the annual revision

process in the coming weeks.

“It appears that gross job losses have receded to ‘normal’ levels, and are hovering around pre-

recession lows,” Anderson said. “However, gross job gains, a proxy for hiring activity, remain

stubbornly low. Although job trends have turned positive, hiring activity needs to pick up to see

more noticeable net gains.”

NEVADA LABOR MARKET OVERVIEW December 2013

As 2013 unfolded, Nevada’s labor markets gained some momentum, although we still believe that the underlying improvement is best described as “moderate.” A number of turning points became evident during the past 12 months. In 2013, the construction and financial activities industries finally turned the corner after six consecutive years of decline, building activity returned to the Strip, and home prices rebounded at astonishingly high rates, up by over 20 percent in both the northern and southern metro areas. Other indicators such as taxable sales, Las Vegas visitor volume, and gaming win were long pointing up before the labor market showed signs of improvement.

These same indicators are still pointing up and foretell 2014 will be a year of further improvement. Following the precedent of the leading indicators, Nevada’s labor market statistics exhibit on-going improvement. For instance, December over-the-year job gains were 21,400, a 1.8 percent growth rate. Establishment-based industrial employment expanded by 2,200 jobs in December relative to November, on the heels of a revised gain of 11,600 in November. Perhaps most importantly, the State has added 49,000 private sector jobs since labor markets bottomed out in 2010. Specifically, 10,700 jobs were added in 2011, followed by a gain of 19,400

in 2012. Preliminary figures suggest that another 18,900 positions were created during the past calendar year. As an aside, our expectation is that these 2013 job estimates will be revised upward as we embark upon the annual benchmark/revision process in conjunction with our federal partners in coming weeks.

Furthermore, the year ended with four consecutive monthly declines in the unemployment rate. In December, the jobless rate fell from nine percent to 8.8 percent; this marks the lowest reading since November 2008. Still, the State unemployment rate remains 2.1 percentage points above the national average at year-end. For all of 2013, Nevada’s unemployment rate averaged 9.4 percent, down from 11.1 percent the prior year. As with the jobs statistics, these barometers will go through the annual benchmarking process in coming weeks.

Given historical trends, we would have expected jobs in Nevada to decline by 2,800 over the November-December timeframe. This year, however, that decline was just 600. The end result is a seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment gain of 2,200 in December, noted above. The monthly increase was mostly accounted for in the industries of

professional and business services (+2,000), trade/transportation/utilities (+600) and local government (+400). Losses were realized in leisure and hospitality (-800) and education and health services (-600). Changes in the other industries were relatively small.

Preliminary indications suggest that seasonal holiday hiring in the final months of 2013 was relatively strong. All told, about 14,100 jobs were added between September and December in those trade/transportation industries typically home to most holiday-related hiring; this is the strongest gain in the post-recessionary period. Prior to the economic downturn,

seasonal hiring typically hovered right around 10,000. While the job changes discussed each month are at the forefront of labor market discussions, the Business Employment Dynamics series offers insight into the underlying forces beneath the job numbers. For example, in 2013:IQ, the latest data available, gross job gains at expanding or opening

private sector establishments totaled 62,800. At the same time, 53,800 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 just over 9,000 jobs in the private sector during the first three months of 2013. This represents the tenth consecutive quarter of net job growth, based upon BED measures. A close examination of the information offers an interesting conclusion. It appears that gross job losses have receded to "normal" levels, and are hovering around pre-recession lows. However, gross job gains, a proxy for hiring activity, remain stubbornly low. Although job trends have turned positive, hiring activity needs to pick up to see more noticeable net gains. For instance, prior to the recession, net job gains, according to the BED information, settled in the 15,000-20,000 range per quarter. For all of 2013, the unemployment rate declined in each of Nevada’s 17 counties compared to 2012.

Nye County recorded the largest over-the-year annual decrease (2.1 percentage points). Ten counties had rate declines of at least one percentage point, and an additional seven counties had declines between 0.1 and 0.8 point. Job seekers in Lyon County face the highest unemployment rate in the State at 13 percent. In contrast, Esmeralda’s annual rate was the lowest at 3.7

percent in 2013. The labor market is making headway, but long-term unemployment remains a problem, both in Nevada and throughout the U.S. One side-effect is that, for many, eligibility for unemployment insurance has been exhausted. As of December, 26 percent of the unemployed were getting benefits in the regular unemployment insurance program. At the height of the recession, this “coverage ratio” exceeded 50 percent, aided by federally-funded benefit extensions that are no longer in place.

County Unemployment Rates(year-to-date)

Approximately 17,000 unemployed Nevadans were receiving the federal unemployment benefits that expired on December 28, 2013. Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) provided 47 weeks of benefits to job losers who exhausted the potential 26 weeks of regular state unemployment benefits. One effect on the labor market is that without the requirement to look for work each week (which is necessary to continue receiving unemployment benefits), more individuals may exit the labor market entirely. That was the experience in North Carolina when it made changes to its unemployment program causing an early end to the EUC program in mid-2013. The unemployment rate fell dramatically in subsequent months, but the decline was driven primarily by a decline in the labor force without a corresponding increase in employment. Without an extension of EUC, we will be watching if a similar drop in the labor force participation rate occurs in Nevada in early 2014. Long-term unemployment increased dramatically in the State beginning in 2009. The number of Nevadans out of work for at least 27 weeks went from a historical average of 5,800 people in the 12-month period ending January 2006 up to an average of 92,900 in October 2011. Noticeable improvement has been recorded more recently, with a reduction to 54,000 as of the period ending in December 2013. While positive, this trend suggests that considerable room remains for improvement.

More employment opportunities should abound in 2014 for the long term unemployed because taxable sales, a leading indicator of Nevada’s economic performance, is on a clear path of recovery. Of the top five taxable sales categories, three are exceeding their fiscal year 2005 levels. Taxable sales at clothing stores are 76.4 percent higher than during fiscal year 2005, restaurants and drinking establishments are up 23.2 percent, and general merchandise sales are up 11.2 percent. Of these recovered categories, restaurants and drinking establishments account for the largest share, comprising 22.2 percent of Nevada’s taxable sales. Clothing sales, which account for 8.1 percent of Nevada’s taxable sales, are at their highest level over the observed period. Wholesale trade is reporting taxable sales 4.7 percent lower than during fiscal year 2005, while vehicle sales are down 33.2 percent. Despite these apparent declines, both of these categories are above their recessionary lows, which occurred in fiscal year 2010. More consumer spending will surely lead to more jobs, and employment growth is strongest in Las Vegas. Employment grew by two percent, or 16,700 jobs, over-the-year with private sector gains in trade/transportation/utilities (+6,900) and professional/business services (4,600). Local government added 600 jobs in 2013, ending four years of contraction. In the Reno/Sparks area 2,600 jobs were created from December 2012 to December 2013. Again, most of

the jobs were in the trade/transportation/utilities (+2,200), followed by leisure and hospitality (+1,000). Unlike Las Vegas, government employment dragged down the employment base as it fell by 800. Employment in Carson City contracted by 500, with losses in both the private sector (-200) and government (-300).

Over-the-year, the unadjusted jobless rate in Las Vegas (8.9 percent) is down by 1.1 percentage points from a year ago, Reno/Sparks (8.4) is down by 1.2 points, and Carson City’s rate (9.3) fell by 0.8 percentage point. Unemployment rates in the metropolitan areas increased from November to December. The unemployment rate in the Elko region (includes Elko and Eureka counties) increased 0.2 percentage point to 5.3 percent. Unemployment rates for the State’s metropolitan areas are not adjusted for seasonality. For comparison purposes, the State’s unadjusted unemployment rate was 8.8 percent in December, up from 8.5 percent in November.

A rising economic tide coincided with a rally in Nevada’s number one industry — tourism. Tourism accounts for about one quarter of the State’s total tax revenue, making clear that it still drives our economy. Although Las Vegas visitation volume was negatively affected by the recession, reducing the number

of people coming to Las Vegas for two consecutive years, the region resumed its upward trend in 2010. In November 2013, visitation is up 0.9 percent, year-to-date (using a 12-month moving average). Competition from Northern California’s casinos and the latest recession contributed to the steady decline in visitation volume in the Reno area. It appears that Reno’s fortunes have changed as the visitation volume has

been on a steady upward trend since 2012. In November 2013, visitation is up 3.9 percent, year-to-date (using a 12-month moving average). Improvement in the economy has been aided by the Federal Reserve’s low interest rate policy, which is thought to stimulate investment and enable consumers to spend more. Despite the record low interest rate environment, the economic recovery has remained sluggish. Consumers have been less responsive to low interest rates than businesses. Using the first quarter of 2011 as the base period, investment has increased by 24 percent nationwide, whereas consumer spending has increased by only five percent. In

the third quarter of this year, government spending is about three percent lower than what it was in the beginning of 2011. Over the last couple of years, federal fiscal policy has been counteracting monetary policy with deficit reduction measures passed by Congress. The fiscal drag from cuts in spending by state and local governments has restrained economic growth. Not all federal actions have hindered growth. The FAA selected Nevada as one of six test sites for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned autonomous systems, handing Nevada a potential economic windfall. The emerging, commercial UAV industry offers a source of high-wage jobs with exceptional potential for growth. Currently, the FAA does not allow the commercial use of drones, but will use data and policies developed at these sites for integration of unmanned aircraft systems into the National Airspace System. In 2012, aerospace and defense (A&D) employment in Nevada was 13,300 (as measured by the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program). Forty-eight percent of the sector is composed engineering services, followed by research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences, accounting for about 25 percent of the jobs. In response to the takeoff of the A&D industry in Nevada, the manufacturing base is expected to grow by thousands of jobs, and now holds an 11 percent share. The remaining share (16

percent) goes to support activities for air transportation and flight training.
