Employment in Las Vegas
Las Vegas has consistently
maintained the highest new job growth in United States. Of the 25 cities
likely to have the country’s highest employment growth over the next five
years, Las Vegas ranked sixth in a recent Forbes Magazine
study.
Since 1990, Las Vegas has also ranked number one in high-tech job growth
(primarily high-tech services). The Nevada labor force has increased by
nearly 350,000 people in the last decade. More than half of the new
companies that recently relocated to the Las Vegas Valley were
high-tech/manufacturing firms.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the construction industry continues to be a
major employer in Southern Nevada as the demands for residential, resort,
office and industrial space continue to soar. With some 6,000 new residents
moving to the Las Vegas Valley each month, residential construction is
valued at more than $2 billion annually. Likewise, the value of commercial
construction exceeds $2 billion annually.

lion’s share of the Valley’s phenomenal growth and outstanding economic
success. The recent completion of four new mega-resorts on the Las Vegas
Strip generated thousands of new jobs.
From finance to construction and retail to service, Las Vegas’ tourist
and entertainment venues and hotel and casino resort properties promise a
steady demand for jobs as well as creating a wealth of new business
