CARSON CITY — First-time claims for unemployment benefits jumped in November to 14,111, an increase of 2,491 from the previous month, the state reported today.
But the number of initial claims is down by 4 percent from November 2014.
The state Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation reported today that initial claims tend to increase in the fall and winter and drop in the summer.
Department Economist Bill Anderson said Nevada’s unemployment continues to show improvement compared to 2014.
“Overall, there are fewer people receiving unemployment benefits and fewer people running out of benefits” this year, he said.
