From The LVRJ: "The employment department reported Friday that joblessness in Nevada hit a record 14.3 percent in July, up from 14.2 percent in June and 12.3 percent in July 2009. In Las Vegas, the rate jumped to 14.8 percent, compared with 14.6 percent in June and 13 percent in July 2009. Nearly 200,000 Nevadans lack jobs and are seeking work, including 144,500 Las Vegans.
Throw in discouraged workers who've left the labor force and underemployed workers who can't find full-time jobs, and Nevada's jobless rate exceeded 21 percent through June 30, according to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nevada ranked No. 1 in the country for joblessness in June, while Las Vegas took the top spot among cities of 1 million or more in the month. State officials said they expect the state and city to keep those top positions once all July numbers come in."

I would have liked to link the Las Vegas Sun, but the Sun apparently does not thinks this is news. Why? Apparently, the Pravda of Las Vegas doesn't think this is news.
Maybe because it will harmful to Harry Reid, Shelly Berkley and Dina Titus?
Maybe the Sun will think it will be news on Saturday morning, when less people will see it's web site.
And they call themselves a news organization? Pathetic.
The Las Vegas Badger is about politics, humor, sports, reality shows in Las Vegas, especially Pawn Stars and anything else interesting. While I live in Las Vegas, my heart is still in Wisconsin. Thanks for visiting the blog and feel free to browse the web site.
