LINCOLN — Nebraska’s unemployment rate held steady at 3.1 percent again in September, matching the August and July figures, the state said Friday. The preliminary September rate was four-tenths of a point higher than the adjusted September 2018 rate of 2.7 percent, the Nebraska Labor Department said in a news release.

The new Nebraska rate is well below September’s national preliminary rate of 3.5 percent, which is down two-tenths of a point from the August 2019 rate of 3.7 percent, which also was the September 2018 rate.
