We’re on a mission at Zippia to criss-cross the country looking for the best and worst places for jobs.
Today, we set our sites on the worst cities to find a job in Nevada after looking at the best places in Nevada a short while ago.
These cities did not have the grit needed to make it to the big leagues and get that big promotion we all hope to get.
After looking at the data for the 100 biggest cities in Nevada, the ten worst cities to find a job in the Silver State are:
Schurz Walker Lake Caliente Hawthorne Panaca Pioche Alamo Silver Springs Yerington Stagecoach
Read on to see how we did it.

How We Determined The Worst Places For Jobs In The Silver State
After getting the data for every place in Nevada, we ultimately decided to limit our analysis to the biggest places with over 5,000 people.
That left us with 100 cities.
We then ranked each place across a number of criteria from one to 100, with 1 being the worst in any given category.
Finally, we took the average rank across all criteria, with the place posting the lowest overall score gaining the title “Worst City In Nevada To Find A Job”.
The criteria we looked at were:
1. Schurz
Population: 598 Recent Job Growth: -7.18%Future Job Growth: 15.80%
2. Walker Lake
Population: 264 Recent Job Growth: -7.18%Future Job Growth: 15.80%

Wrapping It Up With Friday Night Drinks
After crunching all the numbers, Schurz took the “top” spot as the worst city in Nevada for a job.
So while the economy continues to improve and jobs become available across the state of Nevada, these cities lag behind.
Hopefully they can catch up before they miss their next bonus.
