Pasadena, CA — There is no improvement seen in the employment rate of Nevada past five months. The unemployment rate of Nevada rose to13.4 percent in August, statewide, from that of 12.9 percent in July. This is the third consecutive month when jobless rates have increased.

Regardless of the springing up jobless rates in August 2011, both the statewide and Carson City rates are lower than those in August 2010 when unemployment in Nevada was 14.9 percent and the capital's was 13.6 percent. Even though there was also a decline in the unemployment rate in Churchill and Lyon, nearly 1,420 are still unemployed in Churchill. Lyon's unemployment rate is 17.3 percent, the worst in Nevada.

Carson City's unemployment rate is at 12.7 percent while Douglas County's rate continued to be at 14.1 percent. The ragged construction industry is one of the major contributors to the state's economic stalemate. Excluding the losses in construction industry in 2009, the employment base would have been 7 percent rather than 9 percent; and this year it would have grown one-third of 1 percent. The total number of workers in Carson City is 28,600, with some 3,600 searching for a job.
