Nevada Job Growth Numbers Readjusted

Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation just released a study that validates a few of the projections that I have been making including:

Nevada will report negative job growth for 2008.
Nevada must restate its’ projected job growth through 2011.

Nevada August 2008 Employment Numbers

Nevada August 2008 Employment

Needless to say, the report is not a very positive report for Nevada. For the first time that I can remember, Nevada will record negative job growth. That is hard to believe. We have had some slowdowns, but never have we lost more Nevada jobs than were created.

A full version of the report, accompanied by graphs and charts, can be downloaded here.
