Celebrating Women’s History Month: Honoring Women Who Inspire This Women’s History Month, we’re highlighting the women who are making waves in Nevada’s workforce. We’ll share the stories of inspiring female professionals who are overcoming obstacles and achieving their dreams. This week, we celebrate D. Marisol Hernandez Rodriguez. Originally from Mexico, Marisol moved to the U.S. in 2020 after marrying an American citizen. Despite holding a Law Degree and a Master’s in Corporate Law, she faced the challenge of starting over in a new country. After losing her job in 2023, Marisol’s dreams of continuing her legal career seemed out of reach, especially with financial barriers to pursuing education. But thanks to EmployNV, Marisol was able to obtain her Paralegal Studies Certificate at the University of Nevada, Reno, and start a new chapter in her career. With support from Guadalupe Aguirre and the team, she not only gained the skills she needed but also secured her dream job as an Immigration Paralegal at National Hispanic Services. Marisol’s story is a powerful reminder that no matter the obstacles, with determination and the right support, dreams are within reach. Now, her goal is to continue advancing in her career and prepare for the Bar Exam. #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInTheWorkforce EmployNV of Northern Nevada

“This month’s release incorporates a more complete data set for 2024 and revised models for both employment and unemployment patterns. We continue to see unemployment driven first by entrants into the labor market and second by job loss. Wage growth remains strong in the state, likely contributing to both the slower pace of employment growth and the steady rate of entrants to the labor market," said David Schmidt, Chief Economist Nevada Labor Market Overview - January 2025 In January 2025, Nevada’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained steady at 5.8%, with the labor force growing by 5,255. This growth was due to an increase of 4,796 employed individuals and 459 unemployed individuals. However, the state saw a 5,800 decrease in jobs overall, with the biggest losses in Construction and Leisure & Hospitality (-1,300 each). There were small gains in Manufacturing, Financial Activities, and Professional & Business Services, each adding 100 jobs. Las Vegas: Down 7,500 jobs (-0.6%) since December, but up 8,100 jobs (+0.7%) since January 2024. Reno: Down 600 jobs (-0.2%) since December, up 3,100 jobs (+1.1%) since year over year. Carson City: Up 200 jobs (+0.6%) since December, up by 600 jobs (+1.9%) since January 2024. For more detailed labor market data, visit: www.nevadaworkforce.com
