StumbleState unemployment rate up
Wednesday, March 19, 2003 | 11:11 a.m.
Unemployment inched up to 5 percent in January in Nevada with an estimated 63,000 people who were jobless -- but the rate is still below the national average of 5.7 percent.
The state Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation said today that the 5 percent rate compares with 4.9 percent in December. But it's lower than the 6.6 percent posted in January 2002, when the Nevada economy was struggling after the 2001 terrorism.
