The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation says the state's unemployment rate is a record high for any state. April's unemployment rate was 28.2%.

"Nevada has the highest unemployment rate in the nation, ahead of number two Michigan, which had a rate of 22.7%," David Schmidt, Nevada Chief Economist said. "Nevada now has the highest unemployment rate of any state in any month dating back to 1976."

Probably the biggest service economy state in the nation.

Nevada will probably need unemployment checks longer than rest of the nation.

They want it until November.

They would kill their mothers to get Trump out of office.

Although since their mothers probably had a big part in them being dems it wouldn’t be such a loss.

Meanwhile:

Boycott Uber. Firing Americans while keeping Indian H1B scabs:

https://www.mercurynews.com/h-1b-uber-snatches-up-more-foreign-worker-visas-as-it-lays-off-hundreds-of-employees/

Original article behind paywall:

https://usanewssite.com/news/uber-is-offering-its-nearly-7000-laid-off-employees-a-generous-severance-package-including-at-least-10-weeks-pay-stock-and-healthcare-until-the-end-of-2020-uber/amp/

“Uber has added a couple of extra aspects to its severance package, too.

It says it will provide additional support to Uber-sponsored visa holders. Visa holders who get laid off must land another job within a couple of months and have that employer petition to sponsor the visa, or they could be deported. Uber says H1B visa employees will be given a 30-day transition period, where they will work for the company to give them extra time to secure a new job and a new visa. They will also get access to experts to answer questions and could qualify for a cash allowance towards visa related expenses.”

Devastating number. When May’s number comes in I wouldn’t be surprised if that number hits 30 percent.

I don’t think there’s another state so heavily dependent upon tourism. Even Hawai’i has non-tourism related industry. Agricultural, fishing, ranching, etc...

Yep. And, sadly, it’s going to take a very long time to come back. It’s not “locals” who are the prime users of those services.

Recall. Set it up for election day. No one on outride bringing it up nationally. Trump is the perfect instigator. So why isn’t it happening?

It happens that way, when you tell people they can’t work.

Nevada also has MANDATORY mail in ballots. How’d that happen? I don’t remember that vote?

I believe Nevada has only two blue counties, Clark (Las Vegas) and Washoe (Reno), but they control the state’s politics.

Good job Steve Sosalak. Another month or two with his economy crippling lockdown policies and Nevada will set a world record in unemployment.
