Labor Market Insight: Nevada — Dec 2025
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), PlainLabor tracks monthly state-level data on job openings, hires, total separations, quits, and layoffs across all 51 state jurisdictions. The JOLTS program surveys approximately 21,000 nonfarm business establishments nationwide on the last business day of each month, providing the most timely state-level signal of labor market tightness, worker confidence, and demand-supply dynamics.
The fill ratio (hires/openings), quits-to-layoffs ratio, and year-over-year openings trend together compose the BLS-recommended three-dimensional read on state labor markets: tightness via the fill ratio, worker confidence via quits-dominance, and demand trajectory via YoY change. See our methodology for BLS JOLTS sampling methodology, seasonal-adjustment notes, and refresh cadence.
Nevada recorded 58 job openings, 74 hires, and 50 separations in Dec 2025 (openings rate 3.6%, hires rate 4.7%, 128% fill ratio).
