This surge in construction employment is attributed to the ongoing infrastructure projects and commercial developments taking place across the state.Despite the positive news, some sectors are still facing challenges. The report noted that the education and health services sector experienced a slight decline in employment, shedding 500 jobs in December. This is likely due to the ongoing disruptions caused by the pandemic in the education sector.Overall, the report paints a promising picture for the labor and employment sector in Nevada as the state continues to recover from the challenges brought on by the pandemic. With job creation on the rise and the unemployment rate declining, there is optimism that Nevada's economy will continue to strengthen in the coming months.
