Nevada set an all-time employment record in June, officially recovering all of the jobs lost during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Steve Sisolak announced Friday.
The state reached 1,452,600 jobs in June, 3,000 more than the previous record from February 2020, Sisolak said in a joint statement with the Nevada Department of Employment Training and Rehabilitation. The U.S. as a whole is still down 500,000 jobs from its peak.
Nevada added 7,600 jobs in June and is up 90,400 jobs since June 2021, an annual increase of 6.6 percent.
