But the state Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation said Thursday that it sees a troubling trend.
It says almost 14,000 workers either left the state during the month, or were too discouraged to seek employment.
The agency revised October's rate slightly, from 13 percent to 12.9 percent.

Nevada's still ahead of the national unemployment rate of 10 percent.
