Nebraska’s unemployment rate dropped to 1.8% for November 2021. That’s a decrease from the state’s rate of 1.9% for October 2021, and it’s the lowest rate any state has ever reported.
“Nebraska has beaten our own national record for the lowest unemployment rate—now at 1.8 percent,” says Governor Pete Ricketts. “This historic achievement is a sign of the unwavering resilience and work ethic that define us as Nebraskans. It’s clear for all of America to see: Nebraskans just don’t quit!”
Nebraska’s labor force participation is 68.4 percent, tied for second in the nation and the employment-to-population ratio is 67.2 percent and that is the best in the country.
