Nevada’s Unemployment Rate Fell to 7.6 Percent in August

Carson City, NV —In August, Nevada’s unemployment rate fell 0.1 percentage points to a seasonally adjusted 7.6

percent, the lowest reading for the unemployment rate since August 2008. This is down 2.2 percentage points from a year

ago.

“I am pleased to see the continued improvement in Nevada’s labor market,” said Governor Brian Sandoval. “The

unemployment rate continues to fall and employers across Nevada are steadily adding jobs. While this news is

encouraging, we know there remains much work to be done by way of economic development and ensuring that current

small businesses can grow and expand to put more Nevadans back to work.”

The state’s unemployment rate has either declined or held steady in each of the last 38 months, going back to July 2011,

said Bill Anderson, chief economist for Nevada’s Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR).

The non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell in each of Nevada’s metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in August.

The largest decline occurred in the Las Vegas-Paradise MSA, which fell 0.5 percentage points to 7.7 percent. Reno-

Sparks and Carson City both fell 0.4 percentage points this month to 6.9 and 7.5 percent, respectively.

All but two of Nevada’s super sectors are trending up this month, relative to last year, Anderson said. Construction

employment continues to lead in percentage growth, up 12.8 percent over August 2013 with 7,200 additional jobs.

Professional and business services is up 10,200 over the year, a growth rate of 6.8 percent. Construction in Nevada, the

front-runner of the super sectors, is growing at 11 percent on a year-to-date basis, which is 7.7 percentage points higher

than the nation.

“Nevada’s economy has been on the mend since 2011. The unemployment rate has been cut nearly in half from its

recessionary high,” Anderson said. “Year-over-year job gains have been recorded in each of the past 44 months. For

August, job readings are up 300 over the month, which leads to a year-over-year growth rate of 3.5 percent.”

NEVADA LABOR MARKET OVERVIEW August 2014

Last month, in July, we reported the first monthly decline in Nevada employment since mid-2013. However, over the regular monthly revision process, this figure has been updated to 1.22 million jobs, or a month-to-month seasonally adjusted increase of 2,700 (compared to a decline of 200 originally reported). For August, job readings are up 300 over the month, which leads to a year-over-year growth rate of 3.5 percent. With July’s revision, this brings the count of consecutive monthly gains up to 13 months. Measured on a year-over-year basis, job readings have grown in 44 straight months. In August, we would typically expect to see Nevada payrolls increase by

4,400 over the month. However, payrolls grew by 4,700 this month (not seasonally adjusted). This leads to the seasonally adjusted change of 300 jobs reported above. Turning to Nevada’s MSAs, Las Vegas posted the only employment gain this month, adding 1,100 jobs to payrolls (seasonally adjusted).

Relative to August of 2013, this is an increase of 2.9 percent or 24,600 jobs. The Reno/Sparks MSA shed 300 jobs over the month, but is still trending 6,200 jobs higher year-over-year. Carson City employment decreased by 100, but is also trending up on a year-ago basis, with 100 additional jobs.

Nevada and Sub-State Nonfarm Jobs: July - Aug. Change

All but two of Nevada’s supersectors are trending up this month, relative to last year. Construction employment continues to lead in percentage growth, up 12.8 percent over August 2013 with 7,200 additional jobs. Professional and business services is up 10,200 over the year, a growth rate of 6.8 percent. Nevada’s mining sector lost 100 jobs relative to last year, for a rate of -0.7 percent. Finally, the government sector is down 0.1 percent year-over-year, for a loss of 200 jobs. Of the ten supersectors identified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), all but one are growing at a faster pace in Nevada than in the US so far in 2014. Construction in Nevada, the front-runner of the supersectors, is growing at 11 percent on a year-to-date basis, which is 7.7 percentage points higher than the nation. This is followed by professional

and business services, which is growing 3.2 points faster than the US. The only sector falling behind the nation is mining and logging, which is contracting slightly in Nevada but growing in the nation as a whole. The monthly job figures mentioned above are based on information from the Current Employment

Statistics (CES) Program, which uses a sample of businesses to estimate current movements in the labor market. A more accurate, but less timely, count of jobs is available using the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). These job counts, utilizing information from unemployment insurance records, are available within six months after the end of each quarter and represent approximately 98 percent of all employment in Nevada. The CES program is the more visible of the two because it provides a snapshot

of current movements in Nevada’s labor market versus a nearly six month delay in the QCEW series. At the end of each year, the CES series is re-estimated utilizing available QCEW information (the “benchmarking” process). The end result is a more accurate set of estimates that trend in a manner very similar (though not identical) to the nearly complete-count QCEW information. Recently, the Research and Analysis Bureau released 2014:IQ QCEW results. Comparing them to CES information, it appears that our monthly estimates may be slightly over-estimating employment growth. For example, in this year’s first quarter, private sector employment growth, as measured by CES, totaled 43,100 relative to the first three months of 2013. Over the same time frame, QCEW job growth came in at 36,100. Hence, our current expectations are for a slight downward revision in CES estimates during the next benchmark. We will be monitoring trends as they unfold throughout the remainder of the year. The QCEW database also allows us to look at other aspects of Nevada’s labor market. For instance, there are about 74,000 private sector worksites in the Silver State. Over 44,000 of those employ four workers, or less. The next largest size category encompasses those establishments with 5-9 employees, with 12,500 firms. All told, establishments which employ fewer than 100 people make up 98 percent

of all firms in the State of Nevada. There are around 1,400 worksites employing at least 100 workers, including 80 with at least 1,000. As an aside, the number of employers in Nevada is on the rise. (This is not to be confused with the worksite/establishment information reported above. For instance, some employers have multiple worksites.) Prior to the recession, the number of employers peaked in the second quarter of 2008, at over 60,600. Then, in 2011:IQ, the number of employers reached a recessionary low of 56,000, more than 4,000 fewer than three years previous. With data through the second quarter of 2014, we see that employers are coming back, measuring just shy of 60,000. All told, the number of employers in Nevada has increased relative to a year ago in each of the past 12 quarters. When we consider the trend of the data, it is possible that Nevada will reach its pre-recessionary peak number of employers by the end of the year. With information from the QCEW Program, we can also examine where job growth is occurring, based upon worksite size. In this year’s first quarter, job growth was evident in all establishment size categories. Those establishments with at least 1,000 workers grew the most, relative to 2013:IQ, with nearly 7,500 more jobs. This is due, in large part, to increased employment in the leisure and hospitality sector. Worksites with 20-49 and 50-99 employees each added about 6,800 workers in the year ending with

2014:IQ. All told, small businesses, those establishments with less than 100 workers, added 20,000 jobs over the year. The smallest gain across all size classifications occurred in worksites with 500-999 employees on payroll. These worksites accounted for 1,200 additional jobs during the first three months of this year relative to the same period in 2013.

Although August brought with it a slight (1.6%) increase relative to a year ago in initial claims for unemployment insurance, largely due to the fact that the claims system was partially shut down in August 2013 for system enhancements, filings in the Silver State have been trending down as of late. In fact, initial claims have fallen in all but four of the past 57 months on a year-over-year basis. All things considered, initial claims activity of late has been very much in line with the historical trend. The downtrend in claims activity has helped pave the way for a noticeable decline in the unemployment rate,

which peaked at 13.9 percent in late-2010. In August, the State’s jobless rate fell 0.1 percentage point, relative to July, to 7.6 percent. When we consider the month-to-month changes in the rate, we see that it has either declined or held steady in each of the last 38 months, going back to July 2011. Further, this is the lowest reading for the unemployment rate since August 2008, and is down 2.2 percentage

points from a year ago. The non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate1 fell in each of Nevada’s metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) this month when compared to last month. The largest decline occurred in the Las Vegas-Paradise MSA, which fell 0.5 percentage points to 7.7 percent. Reno-Sparks and Carson City both fell 0.4 percentage points this

month to 6.9 and 7.5 percent, respectively. Last month, we identified the downward trend in the number of job “losers”—those who involuntarily lost their jobs. Continuing our analysis of the unemployed this month, we are considering those individuals who are classified as job “leavers,” – those persons who voluntarily left 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, however, can be made to the State’s unadjusted rate – 7.5 percent in August, down from 8 percent in July and down from 9.8 percent in August 2013.

their last job. This series has been trending over time, and, as of August, stands at 12,700. This uptrend indicates that more people are willing to leave their current position, in contrast to during the recessionary, when job-holders were relatively less willing to leave. All things considered, this is encouraging news for Nevada’s labor market in that it shows greater confidence in job prospects on the part of the Nevada workers. Wage trends during the first three months of the year in Nevada were a bit more encouraging than in prior quarters. All told, average weekly wages came in at $867 during 2014:IQ. This represents the highest first quarter reading on record. Similarly, the 2.7% gain from last year’s first quarter reading represents the third-strongest gain since early 2012. Further, while prior wage gains struggled to keep pace with inflation, this year’s first quarter advance outpaced the overall level of inflation. Specifically, inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, came in at 1.4% relative to a year ago during the first three months of the year. Hence, wages grew in “real” terms. Nevada’s economy has been on the mend since 2011. The unemployment rate has been cut nearly in half from its recessionary high. Year-over-year job gains have been recorded in each of the past 44 months. But, prior to this year’s first

quarter, wage gains have been sluggish, averaging just a bit above one percent annually over the 2011-2013 period. As a result, the improvement evident early this year is welcome news, and we will be monitoring trends closely in the future to see if this marks the beginning of more encouraging underlying wage trends.

Last month, we examined Nevada wages for new hires vs. all workers. This month, we look at underlying Nevada wage dynamics from another perspective. Specifically, we examine wage trends by age group. Not surprisingly, wages tend to rise along with age (experience). Specifically, average monthly wages in the 14-18 year old group total $1,100. Wages rise for each subsequent age cohort, peaking at $4,400 per month for those in the 45-54 year old group, before falling slightly for older workers. These results are not surprising. As workers age, they add to their skill sets and their productivity increases, at least on average. In the process, wages tend to rise in response to

these skill/productivity enhancements. In addition, many pay scales are certainly seniority-based, and that would also push wages upward as workers age.
