The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday that Nebraska’s preliminary employment for April 2022 reached an all-time high of 1,040,325. This means nearly 22,000 more Nebraskans are working now than prior to the pandemic in February, 2020.
In addition, Nebraska’s unemployment rate is at 1.9%. That’s tied for the lowest rate ever achieved by any state. “We saw record-setting state revenues and our highest-ever employment in April,” says Gov. Ricketts. “These strong signs of growth reflect the creation of plentiful great-paying jobs for Nebraskans. There’s never been a better time to be a graduate looking to start a career in the Good Life.”
Nebraska leads the nation in per capita employment, with 69 out of 100 adults actively working. That compares with a national rate of 60 out of 100 adults employed.
