The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation says Nevada is adding jobs at the fastest rate in the nation, according to data released this week by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The state also ranks among the top four states in the number of jobs added over the past year. From March 2025 to 2026, the state added 28,700 jobs, a 1.8% increase.
Chief Economist with the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation says, “The March report released today for all states continues to reflect a significant expansion in the number of jobs in Nevada over the past year, with our job growth continuing to run at double the pace of the second-fastest growing state. What’s more encouraging is the range of industries where we are seeing this growth, showing the increasing diversity of Nevada’s industries, including manufacturing, business services, education, health care, trade, and transportation.”
The state ranks number one in job creation in the following industries: Information, Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, Management of Companies and Enterprises, Manufacturing, Private Educational Services, Trade, Transportation and Utilities, and Professional Business Services in the last twelve months.
