As of November 2025, the total number of nonfarm jobs in Nevada was 1,574,700, representing an increase of 0.1% over the past year. September to October, Nevada lost 3,800 jobs, but regained 2,700 jobs from October to November, for an overall loss of 1,100 jobs (-0.1%) over the two months.

“This report includes information about jobs in both October and November, as well as unemployment data for November. Overall, the labor market continues to remain fairly steady, with unemployment declining slightly to 5.2% while job gains over the past year remain slightly positive at 0.1% growth.
“There are two large industries seeing more sustained job loss: Construction employment is now down 7.3% over the year, and employment in Finance and Insurance is down 5% over the year. Meanwhile, wage growth continues in the state, with the most rapid gains seen in the same industries where the number of jobs is declining. Overall, this paints a mixed picture of the labor market as we near the end of 2025,” said David Schmidt, Chief Economist.
