Nevada Business Indicators - March 2020 - Nevada Business Magazine
The "advance" estimate of U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) for the fourth quarter of 2019 grew at an annual rate of 2.1 percent for the second consecutive quarter. As a result, the U.S. economy expanded by 2.3 percent in 2019. Despite slowed consumer spending, the U.S. economy expanded, boosted by net exports, which rebounded strongly after two consecutive quarters of declines. U.S. nonfarm employment added a better-than-expected 225,000 jobs in January.
The Nevada economy experienced mostly positive signals with the release of the most recent data. The unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent, a 20-year low. December gaming revenue increased strongly by 5.8 percent year-over-year. November taxable sales continued its robust year-over-year increase, rising by 6.0 percent, while gasoline sales (in gallons) gained modestly by 0.8 percent over the same period.
