The States Where Jobs Are Disappearing and Where They’re Moving to Instead

Nebraska’s job market was active, though slightly tilted toward losses. New jobs can come from agriculture, food processing, insurance, health care, transportation, manufacturing, and the business activity around Omaha and Lincoln.

At the same time, jobs can disappear when farms, factories, or smaller employers face tighter margins. Some younger workers also leave for bigger job markets, which can make growth harder in certain areas. Nebraska was still adding jobs, but losses moved a bit faster.
