About
Unemployment estimates come from the Local Area Unemployment
Statistics (LAUS) program. This program produces monthly and annual
employment, unemployment, and labor force data for census regions,
states, counties, metropolitan areas, and many large cities, by place of
residence.
Some estimates have been seasonally adjusted to account for
regularly seen economic patterns. This is done to show underlying trends
in the data, and to provide more stable estimates of employment
The cities of Boulder City, Elko, and Mesquite are state specific
areas. These estimates are not endorsed or published by the BLS.
