Unemployment Rate

County: Washoe

Measurement Period: 2023

Filter: none (all Counties)

Total unemployed as a percentage of the civilian labor force age 16 or older. This is the the official unemployment rate (U3) by the LAUS (Local Area Unemployment Statistics) program. Annual average estimates are calculated from the not seasonally adjusted data series.

Why is this important?

The LAUS (Local Area Unemployment Statistics) program produces monthly and annual labor force data (employment and unemployment rates) for census regions and divisions, states, counties, metropolitan areas, and many cities larger than 25,000, by place of residence. The reported monthly employment and unemployment numbers are typically seasonally adjusted data for use when comparing several months of data. Annual average estimates are calculated from the not seasonally adjusted data series.

LAUS data are used for planning and budgetary purposes, determining employment and training program needs, allocating federal funds under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and identifying labor surplus areas, which receive preference in the awarding of federal procurement contracts.
