Unemployment Roll Boosted Last Month
Nevada's May 1970 labor data show both more employed and more unemployed. Total employed reached 221600, up 10000 from 1969, while the labor force rose to 234000. Unemployment rose to 5.3 percent, up 1 percentage point from April, with a 50 percent jump in unemployment claims. May layoffs at the Nevada Test Site contributed to the rise, though seasonal hiring plans foresee June gains as students seek summer work.
