(Robert Davis<\/em>) \u2013 One-in-eight Nevadans expect someone in their household to lose their employment income within the next month, according to a recent U.S. Census Bureau survey.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Household Pulse Survey<\/a><\/strong>, which collected responses between June 23 and July 5, asks respondents questions about how child care, education, employment, food security, housing, and other necessities have been impacted by COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Over 390,000 respondents in Nevada reported expecting a loss of income within four weeks, which represents 16% of households statewide, the survey found.<\/p>\n

The figures represent a 0.7% decrease from the previous week. However, Nevada\u2019s 16% response rate remains nearly four percentage points above the national average.<\/p>\n

Only three states reported a higher total number of households that expect to lose employment income: Mississippi, California, and Louisiana.<\/p>\n

Since the pandemic began in March 2020, over 65% of Nevada households reported losing employment income. This total is the highest in the nation and stands 14% higher than the national average.<\/p>\n

For comparison, 58% of California\u2019s households reported losing income since the start of the pandemic, according to the survey.<\/p>\n

The latest data from Nevada’s Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) show the statewide employment situation is improving. In June, the agency said statewide unemployment dipped to 7.8% while the Las Vegas metro area was near 10%.<\/p>\n

North Las Vegas continued to show the highest unemployment rate in Nevada, increasing from 9% to nearly 11% in June, according to DETR\u2019s data.<\/p>\n

State economists predict that Nevada\u2019s economy will pick up steam toward the end of the year.<\/p>\n

In May, Nevada\u2019s Economic Forum, a five-member panel of private business people who forecast the state\u2019s biennial budget, said the body anticipates the state ending the year with $582.6 million more than what they had projected in December.<\/p>\n

The forum\u2019s estimate was largely driven by its bullish outlook on the state\u2019s tourism and restaurant industries. Both industries saw greater than 30% unemployment during the pandemic, but have shown significant productivity increases since the state began lifting COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n
