LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A new report says Nebraska's unemployment rate remained unchanged at 2.9 percent in November and remained the second lowest state rate in the nation.
The Nebraska Labor Department said in the report released Friday that the preliminary November rate is two-tenths of a point under the November 2014 rate of 3.1 percent.
The new Nebraska figure remained well below the preliminary national unemployment rate of 5 percent in November. U.S. Labor Department figures say Nebraska rate came in just above North Dakota's 2.7 percent.
