Today, Governor Pete Ricketts issued a statement following news that Nebraska's unemployment rate has dropped to 1.8% for November 2021. That's a decrease from the state's rate of 1.9% for October 2021, and it's the lowest rate any state has ever reported.

"Nebraska has beaten our own national record for the lowest unemployment rate--now at 1.8 percent," said Gov. Ricketts. "This historic achievement is a sign of the unwavering resilience and work ethic that define us as Nebraskans. It's clear for all of America to see: Nebraskans just don't quit!"
