Summary
Douglas County’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate held at 6.2% in April, unchanged from a revised 6.2% in March.
That left the county slightly worse than a year earlier, when the April 2025 seasonally adjusted jobless rate was 5.6%.
Earlier April labor data showed payroll employment rose by 60 jobs, led by gains in retail trade, leisure and hospitality, and construction, even as manufacturing lost 30 jobs.
Over the year, total nonfarm employment still slipped by 50 jobs, underscoring a labor market that has added some monthly jobs but remains softer than in 2025.
