Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for January 10, 2025. We're starting off with some breaking news from the sports world. Last night, the University of Nebraska Omaha's basketball team faced off against South Dakota State, resulting in a 93-55 loss for Omaha[4].
Moving on to our job market snapshot, the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that Omaha's unemployment rate stands at 3.0% as of November 2024, with a civilian labor force of approximately 513,900 and employment at about 498,700[2][5]. While there are no major hiring announcements to report today, it's worth noting that the education and health services sector has seen a 6.9% 12-month percentage change in employment, indicating a strong demand for professionals in these fields.
In real estate news, we don't have any notable commercial or residential property sales to report today, but it's worth mentioning that the lack of affordable housing continues to be a pressing issue, contributing to a record high in homelessness across the US, including in our local communities[1].
From city hall, there are no significant updates that directly affect daily life to report today. However, we do want to remind everyone that with students returning to school from winter break, influenza cases are on the rise in Nebraska, so it's crucial to take necessary precautions to stay healthy[1].
Weather-wise, it's going to be a chilly day today, but we're expecting a very slow warm-up. Make sure to bundle up if you're planning on attending any of the upcoming community events, such as the open houses at various Omaha Public Schools. Tonight, Bryan High, Marrs Middle, and McMillan Middle are hosting open houses, followed by Central High and Buena Vista High on Saturday[3].
Speaking of schools, Omaha Public Schools students have been making headlines with their achievements in academics, athletics, and activities. From designing apps to solve real-world issues to earning noteworthy honors in robotics and esports, our local students are truly making an impact[3].
In other news, the Omaha Supernovas are gearing up for their 2025 season opener, and we had the chance to catch up with Head Coach Laura Kuhn to talk about their preparations[1].
On a lighter note, we want to share a feel-good community story. Local students have been using technology to incorporate engineering into English lessons, transforming words on a page into 3D models. It's inspiring to see our young minds at work, finding innovative solutions to everyday challenges[3].
Finally, in our crime report, there are no significant incidents or public safety alerts to report from the past 24 hours. We're glad to see our community remaining safe and secure.
This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
