13.8% Unemployment in Las Vegas
Mar8The Las Vegas Sun published news this morning that suggest a whopping 13.8% unemployment rate in the Las Vegas area. These numbers are staggering, and speak of a situation that continues to worsen, not get better.
The jobless rate in the Las Vegas area jumped to 13.8 percent in January, the 13th consecutive month of double-digit unemployment.
13 consecutive months? What about the stimulus package passed by Congress? That was a year ago and came loaded with promises of jobs and fixes. And what about Obama’s promise not to allow unemployment to pass over 8%? Granted, Nevada has had an issue with this before Obama took office, but the situation has clearly gotten much worse under his “leadership.”
And to think that many Democrats and some Republicans in Nevada actually want to raise taxes!
