Nevada reported 67,000 job openings in July 2025, an increase from 62,000 in June, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Chris Rosenlund, Regional Commissioner, stated that the job openings rate for Nevada was 4.1 percent in July and 3.8 percent in June. Nationally, the job openings rate stood at 4.3 percent in July and 4.4 percent in June.
The ratio of unemployed persons per job opening in Nevada was 1.3 for July. In comparison, across the country, thirty-two states and the District of Columbia had ratios below the national average of one unemployed person per job opening; thirteen states were above this ratio and five matched it.
In terms of labor movement, Nevada saw 58,000 hires and 62,000 separations during July. This compares to June’s figures of 65,000 hires and 64,000 separations. Over the year ending in July, both hires and separations averaged about 62,000 each month.
Within total separations for July in Nevada, there were 35,000 quits and 24,000 layoffs or discharges—numbers similar to those recorded a month earlier when quits were also at 35,000 but layoffs and discharges totaled slightly higher at 26,000. Over the past year quits have averaged around 36,000 monthly while layoffs and discharges have averaged about 22,000 per month.
The Bureau’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) provides these estimates using data from several sources including its own survey sample as well as employment statistics programs such as QCEW and CES.
State-level unemployment estimates are modeled by the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program while national numbers use data from the Current Population Survey.
The next release with August data is scheduled for October 22.
For further details on definitions or methodology related to JOLTS state estimates or technical notes regarding exclusions or reporting categories not included here—such as “other separations”—additional information is available through official Bureau resources.
