Nevada’s jobless rate, at a seasonally adjusted 13.3 percent, was up from the 13.2 percent for August, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nevada employers added 11,000 jobs in September from the previous month. The month-over-month increase in the unemployment rate was the smallest since March 2008, while the employment gain was the strongest since February 2007.
While Nevada had the third largest month-to-month increase in employment, it remains second in the nation for the highest year-to-year decrease in employment, down 6.1 percent, tied with Oregon and behind Arizona and Michigan.
