Nebraska’s unemployment rate dropped to an historic, national low once again in December to 1.7 percent. That’s a decrease from the state’s rate of 1.8% for November 2021.
Nebraska’s current unemployment rate is the lowest ever recorded in the United States. “Our strong growth is creating great-paying job opportunities all across the state,” Governor Pete Ricketts said Wednesday. “The work ethic of our people, our family-friendly communities, and our unmatched quality of life make Nebraska a highly attractive home for businesses. For anyone looking to take the next step forward in their career, the Good Life is calling! There’s never been a better time to find a job in Nebraska.”
In Lincoln the December unemployment rate was even lower at 1.1. percent. Nebraska has maintained the lowest rate through much of the pandemic.
