LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A new report says Nebraska’s unemployment rate remained 3 percent in June, the same rate it’s been since June last year.

The Nebraska Labor Department said in the report issued Friday that the preliminary June rate remained well below the preliminary national unemployment rate of 4.9 percent in June — two-tenths of a point above the revised May rate of 4.7 percent.

The U.S. Labor Department says only South Dakota’s preliminary rate of 2.7 percent and New Hampshire’s 2.8 percent were lower in June than Nebraska’s 3 percent.
