Trump Jobs Slump - Las Vegas sheds thousands of jobs amid tourism slump [View all]

Las Vegas shed thousands of jobs last month amid an ongoing tourism slump, according to a new report, which found Nevada’s labor market is “largely stationary.”

Employment in the Las Vegas area fell by 4,300 jobs from July to August, a drop of 0.4 percent, the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation reported Thursday, using seasonally adjusted data.

All told, the report shows “a labor market that is largely stationary,” David Schmidt, the department’s chief economist, said in a news release.

Nevada is by no means alone, as hiring has largely stalled around the country.
