“All measures of the Silver State’s economic health continue to show positive signs of recovery.” That’s the word from Bill Anderson, Chief economist for the Department of Employment and Training. Nevada’s unemployment rate declined again in March, down to a seasonally-adjusted 5.8 percent. Nevada’s businesses added 35,500 jobs, which equates to a growth rate of 2.8 percent over the previous year. Governor Brian Sandoval says “Small businesses continue to create new opportunities across Nevada and have surpassed peak pre-recession job numbers, a major milestone for the Silver State.” Personal income in Nevada is up 6.6 percent.
